Help with mitsu trailer

Post by TonyStandefer » Mon Sep 25, 2017 5:20 pm

I have a jeep trailer I believe is a Mitsubishi copy, I can't find a serial number anywhere on the frame, is there a specific place to look? I have looked under spring bracket with no luck. Also these are closest to the bantam trailers correct? Has anybody replaced springs on these, do jeep springs bolt right up?
Thanks

If it's like mine there is some Japanese characters on the drivers side bed frame a few inches in front of the fender. Not sure on the springs have never measured them.

The springs are from Mitsubishi if they are like this:

The frame marking is a Cherry Blossom at each end with probably a five-digit number in between:
