What is this on my trailer?

[Double trouble 2]

I just bought a Calkin’s double axle trailer. It has these bars and the bracket on it. I’ve never seen this before. Can anyone tell me what these are?

Looks like a spare leaf spring?

It does look like a leaf spring but it’s not the right size. And why would it be there instead of on the spring pack? I’m going to take it off but wanted to see if someone had a thought on what it’s there for?

Reinforcement to prevent flexing of that part of the trailer maybe?

 

[WHO DAT]

An overload spring ? is there a rubber bumper that is opposed to it....

Can’t be, it’s loose in there and only on one side

Maybe some kind of corrosion prevention like an anode? Sure looks strange

Leaf spring.

Leaf spring.

That’s what I think it is too, but it’s not Rd the right size for the trailer. It’s not attached tight enough to be a support for it. It’s a lot of work to attach this incase you needed one. Seems weird to me.

After seeing many broken leaf springs on the road from Campbell River to Gold River I started carrying a spare leaf spring bolted to my gang way walk. A lotta people do. I’m outta other ideas.

It's a fish magnet

Those bolts in the end must have held something else on there. Must be something missing. Maybe part a spring loaded guide.

I don’t know what this thing is but it’s getting cut off this weekend so it’s up for grabs if anyone Wants it lol
