Thanks, Mark. That makes sense. Especially since I am not going to use the trailer much and not for heavy loads.

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions.

I would cut rings from plastic cutting board and stack a few together, screwed together, probably with the bottom one extending out below and past the remaining bottom coil of the spring. Kinda like a hat up over the post, brim down under the spring. The plastic will keep things quieter on bumps.
