Mit, When the spring broke what was the axle riding on? Seems if the axle went all the way up to the frame the tire would have gone through something. Did the remaining axle hold the rig up until you could get home?I sometimes worry about what would happen if a spring broke on one of these heavy trailers.
I had a spring break once on a single axle boat trailer when I was cruusing at about 65 downa crowded Californiafreeway. The axle went to the frame and the fender captured the wheel. But man was there a lot of smoke. By the time I gotacross a couple of lanes of traffic to pull over the fender was red hot and the paint was all burned off. I couldn't see a thing behind me with all the smoke so I just put on the blinker and headed to the right. Everybody just cleared out of my way.
