Features to know about

Smooth Ride Over Bumps: 3-Leaf Double-Eye Spring Flexes to Absorb Shock

Rough roads can rattle everything inside your trailer. This Dexter Double Eye Leaf Spring flexes to soak up road shock and keep the ride level. With three leaves working together, it cushions bumps and potholes so the trailer rolls steadier and wears less on every trip.

Reliable Support for Light Loads: Rated for 2,000-lb Axles

Weak or sagging springs throw off alignment and make towing unpredictable. This spring provides a solid attachment point for a 2,000-lb axle, with each spring carrying 1,000 lbs. It keeps the suspension geometry correct so your axle stays centered and your trailer tracks straight.

Built to Last: Strong Steel Construction with Pre-Installed Bushings

Old springs can crack or squeak when the bushings wear out. This one is built from sturdy steel for lasting strength and already includes the 9/16" inner-diameter bushings needed for standard shackle bolts. That means it’s ready to mount and hold its shape through years of towing.

Easy Fit and Proper Setup: 20-1/4" Eye-to-Eye, 1-3/4" Wide

Getting the right size matters for smooth performance. This spring measures 20-1/4" from center of eye to center of eye (unloaded) and is 1-3/4" wide, matching the standard width for double-eye setups. Replace your springs in pairs to keep both sides balanced and maintain correct axle alignment.

Exactly the springs needed for my coachmen clipper camper.

Awesome product that fit perfectly. The trailer originally had the axles welded to the frame.

exactly what was needed
by:
I was surprised how fast their shipping was.The items were packaged very well in a heavy duty box that was stapled shut with carrying handle holes in the box. Upon inspection of all items. Everything was present and accounted for. All items appeared to be of excellent quality and matched descriptions accordingly. If I do anything else to a trailer the parts will come from E-Trailer. Thank you again for wonderful service, you have a permanent customer.

Thank you for the kind words Daryl. We will be here when you're ready!

Great web site! and I didn’t expect to have the shipping next day I was very impressed shipping email showing with the people involved with my order .
by:
After a lot of searching I found this company that let me find out exactly the part number for the suspension springs of my Viking pop-up camper. Had a broken spring and tried some local springs but was never satisfied as the springs in a bump would lock-up. Now it trails normal instead of jumping excessive.

Very well. With these springs the trailer is less jumpy as it was with store bought springs. Makes a differwence in towing.

by:
I'll be honest, like some of you, I tend to overload my utility trailer on occasion. I bought these to replace the previous springs I had purchased from Tractor Supply. These springs are great, as good if not better than the originals.
by:
Perfect fit. Fast delivery. Totally satisfied.
by:
My 4x6 Homesteader Trailer was sagging and the tires when loaded were kissing the inside of the fenders.
I called Tim at etrailer.com and he was helpful in locating the correct 3 leaf 20” leaf springs with all hardware.
When removing the old springs I noticed one of the Eye brackets was tearing off the frame so first we had to take a piece of steal plate and weld the new piece in place, not to take any chances we welded the other side also.

The new hardware and Leafs all went into place just fine and now my trailer is sitting were it should be.
by:
The customer service was outstanding. Thru the process of identifying what I needed to ordering and delivering the products I dealt with multiple Customer Service Representatives (CSR). Everyone of them were helpful and courteous. I really appreciated the follow up after my initial contact with CSR. Once the product was ordered I was kept up to date on the status of the order thru regular emails from an etrailer CSR. The parts arrived as they promised, and a CSR even followed up with me after that. Great service, keep it up!
by:
All products were delivered promptly and were as expected. I already completed half of the trailer leaf spring replacements (one side) and will wrap-up tonight. All is going well, and I appreciate that the product descriptions on etrailer's website were very detailed (dimension, how to measure) such that I had confidence that I was ordering just what I needed. Great products and service.
by:
The new leaf springs fit perfect and made my old camp trailer set level again. It also tracks nicely again on the road.
by:
These springs arrived exactly as ordered and fit fine. Shipping took an extra 5 days due to problems with the carrier - but no fault of etrailer. My only suggestion would be to add the dimensions to the etrailer web page.
by:
I am always more than satisfied with buying any product from etrailer.com. Never have to worry about paying too much, delivery is always prompt and the information supplied on each product I buy is the best I have seen anywhere I've made a purchase online. No need to search other sites.
by:
Wonderful customer service assistance with the technical side of the suspension parts I required.
by:
The spring is great the only issue is I ordered one instead of 2. I wish you guys sold a entire axle/spring/hardware kit
by:
I installed these springs without any problems. The original springs on my camper were 4-leaf. These are 3-leaf. I'm hoping that will not be a problem. Etrailer has always provided great customer service and well-built products.
by:
Great customer service. As a return customer, the service and ease of ordering and receiving my order was perfect.
by:
I have used these abut 1500 miles on my custom race care trailer. They work great - no problems, no squeaking. I would def buy this product again
by:
Customer service was great! They helped me get the right size and delivery was right on time with what they told me. Product was easy to install and came with everything I needed.
by:
Exactly what I needed, fit perfectly on my boat trailer. There is many different sizes so make sure you measure good so you can order the correct ones.
by:
I use the trailer almost every weekend and have had no issues so far.
by:
Leaf spring dimensions exactly as stated. Good website to easily find what you need. Shipped day after order was placed and received good communications on delivery.
by:
This was an amazing interaction: the woman who helped me couldn’t have been nicer and got me to the correct parts, they arrived within 36 hrs., and everything fit!
Wow! Just about perfect. Thanks.

New springs are just what the Doctor ordered.

Do you have a question about this Trailer Leaf Spring?
  • Will A 3-Leaf 2,000 lb Spring Offer A Softer Ride Than A 4-Leaf 2,000 lb Spring?
    Hello Brian, good question. The number of leaves in a leaf spring are not always directly related to the strength of the spring. There is truth to what you say I believe. A 3 leaf 2,000 lb spring may offer a slightly softer ride than a 4 leaf 2,000 lb spring. The difference, if any, would be very slight though, and I do not think the difference in ride quality would be noticeable. When replacing leaf springs we generally recommend keeping the replacement springs identical to the originals...

  • Replacement Leaf Springs for Boat Trailer
    Hello again Christopher, what is your axle capacity? The Dexter Double Eye Leaf Spring for 2,000-lb Trailer Axles # 072-017-00 does have a capacity of 1,000 lbs per leaf spring. It is important to at least get leaf springs that match your axle capacity. The closest thing we have in that length is the # DX73CR which is for 2,800 lb axles and measures 20-1/2" long. That extra 1/4" won't hurt but again, make sure this at least matches your axle rating.

  • Leaf Spring Replacement for Trailer that Weighs 1,500 lb and 21 inch Length
    Most likely yes, but what is the capacity of your axle? And did the measurement you take happen when the suspension has a load on it?

  • Replacement Leaf Springs for a 1990 EZ Loader Trailer
    Hey Cassidey. There is no database that shows me what parts are on a 1990 EZ Loader trailer. What I am going to need you to do is jack up one side of your trailer and get the weight off of the suspension. Once you do this you'll need to measure from the center eye where the mounting bolt goes to center of the slipper or other hole where the mounting bolt installs. The reason for this is over the years of use leaf springs can stretch out quite a bit. This is the only accurate way to determine...

  • Highest Capacity 20" Long Leaf Springs for a Utility Trailer
    Sean, it looks like the highest capacity leaf springs we have that are around 20" would be the Dexter Double Eye Leaf Spring for 2,000-lb Trailer Axles # 072-017-00 which is 20 1/4" long and the 3-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 2,000-lb Trailer Axles # e84SR which are 20 3/8" long.

  • Looking To Replace Leaf Springs, Equalizer And Suspension Parts On 2019 GD Imagine 2150RB
    Hello Brian, thanks for reaching out. I can certainly point you in the right direction, but I will need more information from you in order to recommend the correct replacement parts. There is no way to look up your camper to know specifics on your suspension. The main thing to keep in mind here is the replacement parts like the leaf springs, equalizer and shackles must be identical in size to the original parts. Your campers suspension is built around a certain equalizer and spring size,...

  • Replacement Leaf Spring Options for a 3500 Pound Dexter Axle
    We definitely have a few options available for a 3,500 pound Dexter axle. That being said, you will need to measure your current leaf springs to see which one will fit. This should be done going from the center of one eye to the center of the other eye. The 3-Leaf Double-Eye Spring # e59SR will measure 23-1/8 inches from eye to eye, and the 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring # SP-210275 will measure 27 inches from eye to eye. Both of these option are rated for a 3,500 pound axle and will definitely...

    Since your 2018 Grand Design 2400BH has 3,500 lb axles and your worn out flat spring measures 27 inches what you'd want for a replacement leaf spring would be the part # e54SR which is for 3,500 lb axles and has a 25-1/8 inch length.

  • Replacement Leaf Spring to Replace Spring that Measures 21-3/8 inch
    We have a 21 inch long Dexter trailer leaf spring with part # 072-017-00 which would work great for you assuming the axle capacity matches what this was designed for. This leaf spring is for 2,000 lb trailer axles. As leaf springs break in/wear out they tend to stretch so yours being 21-3/8 inch would match great with this new spring that is 21 inches.

  • Replacement Leaf Springs For A Dexter 2,200 lb Axle
    The Dexter Double Eye Leaf Spring # 072-017-00 you mentioned is intended to be used with a 2,000 lb axle. It can be a suitable replacement for your 2,200 lb axle, as long as the gross trailer weight does not exceed 2,000 lbs. You will also want to make sure the replacement spring is identical in length to the current spring. There is no way for us to know the length of the current springs based on an axle number or VIN. The best thing to do is to jack up the trailer and measure the eye-to-eye...

  • How to Choose Correct Leaf Spring Length for 1958 Spartan Trailer
    When choosing a replacement leaf spring for your trailer suspension you will want to choose a leaf spring that is compatible with your hangers (double-eye or slipper spring) and that has the proper axle weight capacity rating. Because leaf springs tend to flatten out as they get older and more worn out (making them longer), you're going to find that your measurements aren't the exact length of springs you'll use; it's most important to get close to the length while using the correct axle...

    Thank you for providing those measurements! From what I was able to determine, it looks like the total dry weight of your 1994 Layton Skyline 19ft 5th Wheel is 3321-lbs and with tandem axles, they would likely be 2000-lb capacity.

  • Are Dexter Axle Leaf Springs Made in the USA
    According to Dexter Axle their leaf springs are made in the US so I've linked our selection of those for you to filter through. If you can let me know the length of leaf spring you're needing to replace I'd be more than happy to see if we have one that fits your application! For example, the Dexter Axle Double Eye Leaf Spring # 072-017-00 measures 20-1/4" center-eye to center-eye when no tension is placed on it.

One option may be to cut the hangars from the current location and move them to fit an available spring size.

    We do have a number of options for you to add leaf springs to go with the Trailer Axle with Idler Hubs - 5 on 4-1/2 Bolt Pattern - 60" Long - 2,000 lbs # e82GR. The right one is going to depend on some measurements though, as there isn't a spring designed specifically for any axle. So what you will want to do is measure the length of your current spring you are replacing from the center of one spring eye to the center of the other eye, and match that as close as you can.

    We have 2,000 lb axle trailer leaf springs like the # 072-017-00 but to pick out the correct ones for your Keystone I'd need to know what length of leaf springs you need which you'd have to measure without a load on the springs. These are 21 inches long. The part # e84SR is 20-3/8 inches long, and # SP-113275 is 23-1/2 inches long.

  • Picking Out Replacement Leaf Springs for Pop Up Camper with 1-3/4 inch Axles
    Hey Jake, based on your axle diameter it sounds like you have a 2,000 lb axle on your camper so for a replacement leaf spring you'd want the part # 072-017-00 but the problem is this is too short for what you mentioned. We don't have anything that's long enough so your best option would be to weld on new hangers like with the part # DX54CR.

  • How Does Trailer Leaf Spring Get Measured to Pick Out Replacement
    When measuring a trailer leaf spring to pick out a replacement you'd need to measure from spring eye center to spring eye center with no weight on the spring. For example, the Dexter spring part # 072-017-00 would be correct replacement if the axle was a 2,000 lb axle and the measurement was right at 20-1/4 inches. You do need to factor in a bit of spring stretch since they tend to flatten over time. Around 1/4 inch is about correct.

    Thank you for providing that information. In addition to the length you will also want to know the capacity of your axle so you can choose the correct leaf spring replacement. Assuming this is an older leaf spring, you will also need to account for it sagging over time which will elongate the spring. For a replacement we have 2 possible options for you. The first is the 3-Leaf Double-Eye Spring # SP-072275. This is designed for 3,300 lb axles and measures 18-5/16" long. A leaf spring...

    Hey Ulf, We have a couple of 3-leaf double-eye springs that might work for your Bandit jet ski trailer: # SP-072275 – 18-5/16" long, for 3,300-lb axles. # 072-017-00 – 20-1/4" long, for 2,000-lb axles. One thing I'd like to double-check is your 19-1/2" measurement. Was that taken with the trailer jacked up so the springs were completely unloaded? Leaf springs tend to flatten and stretch over time, so your original springs may have been shorter when new. If your springs truly measure...

  • Ideas for Smoothing Out Suspension of Nash 16t Travel Trailer
    As long as you for sure will never exceed 4,000 lbs of total trailer weight you could drop down to a lower capacity leaf spring for a 2,000 lb axle. For that we have the part # 072-017-00 which is 21 inches long or part # e84SR for 20-3/8 inches. Or another option you could go with is adding a shock kit to the axles like with the part # LC281255. This will do a great job smoothing out the ride quality as it would slow down the movement of the suspension. This fits 2-3/8 inch diameter...
