Slipper Springs like # e33SR do not use a bolt and bushing for the open eye end of the spring. It connects directly to the hanger using a slipper spring hanger kit.

Yes, the pictures we have up on the Slipper Spring # SP-264275 product page are accurate. I also linked a video review below.

The only difference in the Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Couplers #DM16080-95 and #DM15931-95 is going to be the bolt pattern. One will have the 5-Bolt hole pattern and the other is going to have 4-Bolt holes. I have included images below showing the…

Answer 5

Hey Kevin thanks for your question. There is not much downside to going with the 5,000 lb springs instead of the 3,500 lb. A higher rated spring may make the ride a bit more "chunky" at times, since the spring would not flex as easily.…

For the spring eye you would use the Spring-Eye Bolt with Locknut for Slipper Springs - 3-1/2" Long #166079, but slipper springs don't have the second spring eye, so a bolt is not used on the back end. You can also use a wet bolt like…

It sounds like you are using a bolt-on spring hanger like Redline #721585 on your boat trailer. Trailer suspensions will never "behave" when they are unloaded the same way they do when carrying the weight they are designed for. If the…

Thanks for the picture! The spring shouldn't hit the frame like yours does in the picture, so the correct solution would be to either add a longer front hanger or using a shorter spring. The correct replacement hanger will be dependent on the…

Answer 11

A Nylon Bushing #TRBU11561 is not required to be used on the open end of the 4-Leaf Slipper Spring #e33SR. Since the bushing is not going to be fully encased it stands that under the weight of the trailer it will fail and break apart more easily. I…

Answer 12

Most trailer leaf springs will have a bushing in the eyes of the spring. It is interesting that the install video we have for the wet bolt part #126B2 that you referenced does not have a bushing involved at all. In reality all that really matters is…
