Features to know about

Smooth Ride Over Rough Roads: 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring Handles 2,800-lb Axles

Rough pavement can rattle your trailer and everything in it. This 4-leaf double-eye spring flexes to absorb road shock and keep things steady. Built for a 2,800-lb axle (1,400-lb spring capacity), it keeps your setup level and under control on uneven surfaces so the ride stays smooth mile after mile.

Built for Dependable Suspension: Strong Steel with 9/16" Nylon-Bushed Eyes

When the suspension hardware has play, handling suffers. This spring uses sturdy steel leaves for strength and includes nylon bushings with 9/16" inner diameter. The smooth eye movement helps keep the suspension quiet and responsive, cutting down on wear from metal-on-metal contact.

Sized Right for Direct Replacement: 20-1/2" Eye-to-Eye and 1-3/4" Wide

Getting the fit right is key for proper axle alignment. This leaf spring measures 20-1/2" from center-to-center of the eyes when unloaded and is 1-3/4" wide. It’s the right geometry for standard double-eye setups, restoring factory ride height and spring rate without guesswork.

Reliable Setup for Years of Use: Replace in Pairs for Balanced Performance

Old or sagging springs can throw off alignment and wear out suspension parts faster. Swapping them in matched pairs keeps your trailer level and tracking straight. When installed with fresh shackle straps and bolts, this Dexter spring brings back the solid, predictable feel your suspension was built for.

Hey Jennifer, it's completely normal for leaf springs to flatten out when the weight of the trailer is on them. They're designed to flex under load to absorb shocks and support the weight, that’s how they do their job. As long as they're not completely flat or sagging without a load, you're good. Please let me know if they are completely flat or if it makes you feel better you can send me some photos!

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!

  • Solution to Prevent 2023 KZ Travel Trailer From Bottoming Out
    Hello Derek; unless the leaf springs you have now are worn out and flat you aren't going to be gaining any real height from other leaf springs. If your leaf springs run under the axle (underslung) you could move them to the top (overslung) using the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit # K71-384-00 (2-3/8" diameter axle) or # K71-385-00 (3" diameter axle). However, I'm guessing they're already sitting on top which is the case for most travel trailers. Another option is to use...

  • Replacement Leaf Springs Needed For A 2006 Trailex Car Trailer Model CT 7541
    Hey Jim, Leaf spring ratings are listed as the axle's capacity which would mean that a pair of the # DX73CR would be rated for 2,800lbs. A single # DX73CR would only be rated for 1,400lbs. Since you have 3,500lb axles you'll need to make sure you go with ones listed for 3,500lb axles. To get an accurate measurement of the leaf spring's length you'll need to first lift the trailer by the frame on the side you're measuring to take the weight off of the leaf spring. You'll then measure...

  • Recommended 20-1/2" Long 4-Leaf Leaf Spring for a 2,800 lbs Axle
    Hey Raymond. The closest 4-leaf leaf spring we have to your measurements is the Dexter item # DX73CR. It measures 20-1/2" long from eye-to-eye and has a 1,400 lbs capacity. This leaf spring is sold individually but it is highly recommend to replace all of your leaf springs at the same time. How did you measure the eye-to-eye distance on your leaf springs? If the weight of your trailer was still on them you most likely need a shorter leaf spring like the 18-5/16" Long item # SP-072275....

  • 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.

  • What Kind Of Steel Is The 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring DX73CR Made Of?
    Hello Matt, thanks for reaching out. The 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring # DX73CR comes with a single leaf spring. They are powder coated steel, and are not galvanized. Are you needing to replace all the springs on your trailer? Have you confirmed the 20-1/2" long spring is correct for your trailer?

  • How to Find Replacement Leaf Springs for a Kitty Hawk Trailer
    Hey Cooper, thanks for the picture. As you've found out there is no database that shows what parts or part numbers are on trailer's like your Kitty Hawk. In order to find the correct size replacement springs you'll need to take a measurement. What you'll need to do is get the weight off of the suspension on one side of your boat trailer by jacking it up. Springs tend to stretch out over years of use so this is the only way to get an accurate measurement. Once you do that you'll need to...
