Bumpy roads and uneven terrain can make a trailer bounce and sway more than it should. This 3-leaf double-eye spring takes that harshness out of the ride by flexing to resist shock and smooth out bumps. With a 2,000-lb spring capacity for a 4,000-lb axle, it keeps your trailer stable, level, and easier to control mile after mile.
Weak or worn springs can throw off alignment and cause early wear on the rest of your suspension. This spring is built from sturdy steel and sized right—25-1/4" from eye to eye and 1-3/4" wide—to restore proper stance and geometry. The 3-leaf design balances strength and flexibility, holding up under load while still allowing just the right amount of movement.
Creaks and squeaks often come from worn or dry bushings. This spring includes pre-installed nylon bushings with a 9/16" inner diameter to keep movement smooth and quiet. They also protect the spring eyes and bolts from wear, so the suspension stays tight and trouble-free.
Whether you’re replacing old parts or fabricating a new setup, this double-eye spring fits standard trailer suspension layouts. One end mounts to a hanger on the frame, while the other connects to shackle straps or an equalizer. Replace both springs at once to keep alignment right and ride quality consistent.

Hello, everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at the Dexter 25 1/4 Inch Long 3-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 4,000 Pound Trailer Axles. Now this leaf spring will act as part of your trailer suspension system, provides the attachment point for your trailer's axle. This one has multiple leaves so allows flexibility to absorb any road shock. This one has three leaves so it allows for a nice smooth ride, reduces wear and tear on your trailer, and ensures a level ride on bumpy and uneven surfaces.
Now the length of the spring, that's always measured from the center of one eye to the center of the other eye. So, on this one, if we do a tape measure, center to center, it's 25 1/4 inches. The width on the spring is 1 3/4 inches. It is a sturdy steel construction. If you notice on each eye they have the nylon bushings already installed.
The eye diameter with the bushing installed is 9/16 of an inch. Now pre-mounted hangers or after-market hanger kit is required for installation. Those items we do sell separately on our website. Basically this spring will attach to a hanger that's mounted on your trailer frame at one end, and the other end connects to shackle straps suspended from a hanger or equalizer. This is for a quantity of one leaf spring.
Spring capacity is 2,000 pounds, so when this is matched with one on the other side of the axle, it'll meet the axle capacity of 4,000 pounds. Now there are additional dimensions of this spring if needed listed on the product page. So I would recommend if you do want other dimensions, just go to the product page, and we'll have the dimensions listed. But that should do it for a look at this Dexter 25 1/4 Inch Long 3-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 4,000 Pound Trailer Axles.

Ratings & Reviews
This 8000# axle leaf spring is one of seven. Six of them on the trailer, and one as a spare. I upgraded from the 7000# leaf spring to the 8000# leaf spring. Keeps my 18,0000lb toyhauler from sagging. A great upgrade. Also might consider the upgrade on wet bolts and thicker shackles. You won't regret it.
Easy installation. Fit perfectly.
My 3500lb leaf springs have failed for the second time so I upgraded to 4000lb springs, I had just upgraded my suspension with the CRE 3000 and wet bolt kit and along with the disc brake conversion I did last year so with the help from etrailer we are ready to put so more comfortable miles behind us. You can always count on the techs from etrailer to get you your parts and fix any mishaps that may come. Thanks etrailer.
E-TRAILER ALWAYS HAS GOOD PRICE AND FAST DELIVERY.
Leaf springs arrived in a very timely fashion. They were exactly what I ordered and installing them went very smooth and they fit perfect.
My 15 year old springs on my Keystone fifth wheel we’re flat. These new springs raised it back to original height. The camper is now level with the truck again.
Perfect fit. Exact fit especially since the original manufacturer is out of business. Super help finding the replacement via chat. Thank you so much. Also they had it at my door in less than 72 hours. This is a picture of what was broken!
Springs are perfect and delivered quickly. The packaging did not fare well in shipment and shipper had taped the box back together the best they could. All parts are in fine shape with no damage.
It appears I had a bad Dexter spring on my 2026 Sunlite 21TH. Didnt want to deal with Warranty stuff so purchased 4 new springs from etrailer.
Perfect replacement for stock springs on my Coachmen Clipper Popup camper
the ordering process was easy, the shipping was very quick and the installation was easy for the most part. I had to replace a broken spring on a tandem axle set up which had a equalizer which had rotated due to the trailing broken spring. I replaced the other side spring and it was a very easy. I have not used the 5th. wheel yet but don't see any problems. Thanks for the great service....
junk
bought for my 3500 pound single axle TT
1st trip already flat
Trailer weighed and under limits
I purchased my 5x8 tilting kit trailer in 1993. I added a stake bed and plywood deck and it served me well over the years. I discovered recently that the axle and springs had rusted severely. I planned to scrap the trailer and purchase another. After searching months for new or used and having no luck, I decided to look into replacing the axle and springs. I was able to find replacement with ETRAILER. I was nervous about ordering and worried that it would not fit but I went ahead anyway. My son and I replaced the axle and it fits perfectly. Thanks ETRAILER for helping to save my very useful tool!
Delivered to Guam and got to fully restored my boat trailer for a fraction of what could have cost me on island. Perfect choice
Very nice looking leaf springs, although being a Dexter product I would have thought they were made in USA, a little disappointed they are not, I will be installing on my 20’ enclosed trailer
The service was terrific! My wife and I headset out on the road for a cross-country trip and after 400 miles I found I had a broken spring and it was Labor Day weekend also. You guys got that spring to me very quickly and I was able to get back on my way. By the way, I bought an extra one for the next time lol. Again thank you so much!
Installed 4 new springs, Moryde equalizer and wet bolt kit onto 17 Imagine 2800 BH camper. Total time was 5 hours including blocking up the camper and clean up.
No fitment issues. Ride height increased by 1 inch.
Quality Dexter springs.
I had purchased 4 of the DX23CR Springs to replace the OEM springs on my Grand Design Imagine XLS 22MLE. The springs were a direct replacement, however I have the MORyde CRE3000 with a wet bolt kit installed. When I removed the nylon bushing to install the bronze bushings for the wet bolts, the bronze bushings fell right thru the hole in the spring eyelets. Eyelets were to large.
I returned the 4 springs and Etrailer sent me out Four more, they had the same issue.
Etrailer was awesome as far as the returns were a breeze.
Still on search for a spring with the proper eyelet hole dimensions
These came quick. I haven't had a chance to pull it far down the road but it was a great replacement for the single leaf springs that tracker used on their trailers for the tahoe t16 boats. The shackle strap kit that I used with these worked great as well, however, there was slack in the bushing. It is supposed to be a 9/16" eye in the spring and the shackle kit was 9/16" as well. I went ahead and put it together so hopefully that doesn't come back on me to have to replace prematurely. I will know more later down the road.
We have a new micro-camper trailer, out of the factory weighing 600 pounds. I added 600 pounds of equipment, still well below the limits of the 2000 axle and 1000 pound (each) 3-leaf springs. However, after a little towing on rough highways, the springs were deforming and bottoming out on the frame. I swapped them out with these 4-leaf 1400 pound springs. Now all is good!
great service...easy to install
Replaced some prematurely worn-out springs on our RV. Time will tell how they hold up, but they fit perfectly in my application. Replaced the included nylon bushings with brass bushings before install.
