Overall dimensions

Note: To ensure proper axle alignment and suspension performance, leaf springs should always be replaced in pairs.


Leaf springs are an integral part of your trailer suspension system. The leaf springs provide the attachment points for your trailer's axle, suspending it from the frame of your trailer. Each spring flexes to absorb road shock as you travel, allowing the axle to move somewhat independently of the rest of your trailer. This helps to reduce wear and tear on the trailer and also ensures a smooth ride.


Double-eye leaf springs attach to hangers that are welded onto your trailer. One end of this spring will attach directly to the hanger with a suspension bolt. The other end will attach to shackle straps that are suspended from a hanger. These straps allow the spring to move and pivot so that it can better compensate for uneven pavement. If you have a tandem- or triple-axle trailer, the shackle straps will be attached to the equalizer that connects multiple springs.


To mount this spring, you will need hangers, shackle straps, and suspension bolts. If you are simply replacing a spring, you may still have hangers welded onto your trailer. You should, however, replace your shackle straps because they are usually the first component to wear out. You may choose to replace old suspension bolts as well. It is recommended that you replace the other leaf spring in your setup at the same time. Because springs can sag and elongate as they wear, this new spring may not exactly match the old one, and the alignment of your trailer could be affected.


If you are fabricating a trailer, you will need to purchase a hanger kit for installation. To determine the type of hanger kit that you need, you must know the specific type of leaf spring that you have, as well as your axle capacity. Depending on the hanger kits used with them, springs can be configured to work for single-, tandem- or triple-axle applications. Hangers and other suspension components can also be purchased separately if there isn't a complete kit that works for your setup.

See what our Experts say about this Dexter Trailer Leaf Springs

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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 for 2018 Grand Design 2400BH
    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 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...

  • Availability of 20 Inch Long 3-Leaf Leaf Spring for Small Performance Utility Trailer
    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...

  • Does the Dexter 072-017-00 Double Eye Leaf Spring Include Bushings
    It IS hard to make out in the photo, but if you look closely, you can see that the # 072-017-00 Dexter Double Eye Leaf Spring does indeed include the bushings as you can see in the provided photo. I've linked to a product description video featuring the # 072-017-00 Leaf Spring.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • Replacement Leaf Springs for 3500 Pound Axle
    For a double-eye leaf spring supporting at least a 3500 pound axle, the closest leaf springs I have to what you have requested is the, # e59SR spring, 23-1/8" - 3500 pound, # e54SR spring, 25-1/8", 3500 pound, Dexter # 072-017-00 spring, 21" - 2000 pound. One option may be to cut the hangars from the current location and move them to fit an available spring size. If that is the case, you could use the Leaf Spring # e59SR spring measuring 23-1/8" eye center to eye center. (A longer...

  • Leaf Spring Replacement for 1994 Layton Skyline 19ft 5th Wheel Trailer
    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.

    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.

  • 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.

    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.

  • Replacing Suspension Components on Old Motorcycle Trailer
    It will be time to update your suspension on you motorcycle trailer. Current leaf springs for trailers are all 1-3/4" wide.

These will fit inside where your old mounts are as the new leaf springs will be much shorter. I have linked a help article below that will help you with the suspension systems on trailers.

  • 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...

    The locating pin in trailer leaf springs are roughly 1/2", and are a standard size between different brands of springs. To lift your trailer with leaf springs the best way is an over-under kit which moves your axle from above the leaf springs, to below which lifts the trailer by the diameter of the axle plus the height of the leaf spring stack. We offer a few kits depending on the diameter of your axle tube. If you have a 2-3/8" diameter axle you will need the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under...
