Features to know about

Smooth Ride on Rough Roads: 3-Leaf Spring Absorbs Shock

Every bump and dip in the road sends stress through your trailer. This 3-leaf double-eye spring flexes to absorb that shock and keep the ride level and steady. With a spring capacity of 1,750 lbs and an axle capacity of 3,500 lbs, it’s built to handle the load while reducing bounce and sway. The 23-1/8" eye-to-eye length gives your suspension the right geometry for consistent performance on uneven terrain.

Steady Suspension Support: Strong Steel Handles the Load

Worn or sagging springs can throw off your trailer’s alignment and ride height. This sturdy steel leaf spring restores that balance with three stacked leaves that share the load. Each leaf works together to resist twisting and flexing under weight, so the trailer stays level and tracks true mile after mile. It’s a solid foundation for a smoother towing experience on both short hauls and long trips.

Reliable Mounting Fit: Double-Eye Design with 9/16" Bushings

When it’s time to replace old hardware, fit matters. This double-eye spring includes nylon bushings with a 9/16" inner diameter and 11/16" eye diameter without bushing, ready for standard suspension bolts and hangers. The 1-3/4" wide spring mates cleanly to existing brackets, while the pivoting ends let the suspension articulate naturally over bumps.

Built for Long Service Life: Replace in Pairs for Proper Alignment

A spring that’s sagged or stretched throws off axle alignment. Replacing both springs at once keeps suspension geometry correct and ensures even performance side to side. The durable steel leaves resist wear and fatigue, keeping your trailer’s stance and towing feel consistent over time. It’s the dependable fix for trailers that have started to lean, bounce, or creak under load.

Video Transcript for 3-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 3,500-lb Trailer Axles Review

Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at this Dexter 23-1/8" long 3-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 3,500 pound trailer axles. Now this leaf spring here will act this part of your trailer suspension system. It does provide the attachment point right here for your trailer's axle. And this is multiple leaves that'll allow flexibility to absorb road shock. This one here has three leaves.

It allows for a nice smooth ride, reduces wear and tear on your trailer, and it'll ensure a nice level ride on bumpy and uneven surfaces. Now the length of the spring is always measured from the center of one eye to the center of the other eye when it's unloaded like it is right now. So what we're gonna do is measure center to center and there's your 23-1/8". The width on the spring is 1-3/4". Now this is a sturdy steel construction.

You can see the nylon bushings are included and the eye diameter when the bushings are installed is 9/16". Now the pre mounted hangers are the aftermarket hangar kit, which is required for installation. Those items we do sell separately on our website. Basically the spring attaches to the hangar that's mounted on your trailer frame at one end, and then the other end connects to shackle straps that are suspended from your hangar or equalizer. This is a quantity of one leaf spring.

Spring capacity is 1,750 pounds. So when it's used with one on the other side of the axle, it'll meet the axle capacity of 3,500 pounds. Now there are additional dimensions on this spring that's listed on the product page if you do need them. But that should do it for a look at the Dexter 23-1/8" long 3-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 3,500 pound trailer axles.

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.

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

E-TRAILER ALWAYS HAS GOOD PRICE AND FAST DELIVERY.



by:

Leaf springs arrived in a very timely fashion. They were exactly what I ordered and installing them went very smooth and they fit perfect.



by:

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.



by:

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!



by:

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.



by:

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.



by:

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.



by:

Perfect replacement for stock springs on my Coachmen Clipper Popup camper



by:

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....

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!



by:

Delivered to Guam and got to fully restored my boat trailer for a fraction of what could have cost me on island. Perfect choice



by:

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.



by:

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



by:

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.



by:

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.



by:

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!

Customer service was as always fantastic! It's refreshing to be able to speak with a Customer service representative when the phone is answered. It's also nice to see the same names of individuals who are processing the orders during every step. The staff are very responsive and knowledgeable with the multitudes of parts. I feel like a part of the company when I call, I'm addressed by name without having to say who I am.



by:

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!

    Hi Bobby; I have attached a help article below which explains how to replace trailer leaf springs in 5 steps. I also attached an installation video. Between the two you should be able to install the # DX55CR without any issues. Edit: I just double checked the video link and it isn't jumping to the right video. If you look at the product page for the # e54SR you will see the same video right below the product images.

  • What Leaf Springs do I Need for My 2017 Forest River Salem 27dbk?
    Hello Scott, We will definitely have some leaf springs that will work for you, but I do not have a database that supplies me with what is put on what camper (would be pretty sweet if such a list existed), so you will need to double check my research. I am showing that you should have a tandem axle set-up with each axle rated at 3,500 pounds. You will need to measure the leaf spring with unloaded weight, it is usually best to jack the camper up to get the weight off completely. Your measurement...

  • Are 20" Long 3,500lb Trailer Leaf Springs Available
    Hey Jim, The shortest length 3,500lb leaf spring we currently offer is 23-1/8" long. You can try reaching out to Dexter Axle and seeing if they offer one or could custom-order you one. If not you could go with the 23-1/8" long # e59SR and change up your hanger spacing/equalizer width if there's enough clearance in the wheel well.
