Specs:
Leaf springs, as you probably know, make up an important part of your trailer's suspension. Their main purpose is to absorb road shock as you travel, as well as allow your axle(s) to move independently of the rest of the trailer.
To mount this leaf spring, you'll need hangers welded onto your trailer frame - which you probably already have in place - as well as shackle straps and a suspension bolt. It's a good idea to replace your existing straps and bolt while you're under there working on things because they tend to wear out quickly. One thing that could help keep them from wearing out too fast would be upgrading to galvanized or zinc-plated hardware. Doing so will boost the corrosion resistance and, therefore, the longevity of your trailer.
We also always recommend replacing both of your springs at the same time because it's not unusual for leaf springs to sag and elongate over time. If you replace just the one, there's a good chance that it won't match your existing spring on the opposite side of your trailer, and that can mess up your alignment.

Hi everybody. Andy here with etrailer. Let's take a quick look at this 3-leaf double-I spring for your 3,500 pound trailer axle. Now this double-I leaf spring's gonna act as part of your trailer suspension system by providing an attachment point for your 3,500 pound trailer axle. This is made from sturdy steel and it is designed to flex and absorb road shock and give you a smooth ride reducing wear and tear on your trailer. And it's going to ensure a level ride on those bumpy and uneven surfaces.
Double-I leaf springs attached to hangers that are welded onto your trailer. One end of the spring will attach directly to the hangar with the suspension bolt, and the other end will attach to shackle straps that are suspended from a hangar. Those straps are going to allow the spring to move and pivot so that it can better compensate for uneven pavement. Now if you have a tandem or a triple axle trailer, the shackle straps will be attached to the equalizer that connects multiple springs. Now if you're in need of hangers, suspension bolts, or equalizers, you can find all that here at etrailer.com.
In the eyes on each end are pre-installed nylon bushings. The I diameter with the bushing is 9/16 of an inch. Without the bushing, it's 11/16 of an inch. Again, this is a 3-leaf spring, with a leaf thickness of 1/4 of an inch. This is rated individually at 1,750 pounds capacity.
So that means if you install a pair one on each side of your axle, you're covered for around 3,500 pounds of trailer weight support. Now to ensure proper axle alignment and suspension performance, leaf springs should always be replaced in pairs and we do recommend installation by a professional. Let me see if I can show you a measurement here, can be kind of tricky on camera, but measuring center of eye to center of eyes, I hope you can see, we're sitting pretty close to 23-1/4-inches. The spring width is 1-3/4-inches. So if you, you're gonna need this if you're replacing worn out springs on a light to medium-duty trailer.
Maybe your current suspension is sagging, noisy or uneven, or maybe you're restoring a small utility trailer, boat trailer or similar. If this meets the specs that you're looking for, this is gonna be a solid option for you to consider. If you happen to have any other questions, whether it's about this spring or anything else that we carry, don't hesitate to reach out. We do wanna be sure that you're getting exactly what you need. Well, again, my name's Andy, thanks for joining me.

Perfect fit. Take your time during installation, measure correctly and everything will fall into place.
Perfect replacement for original spring.
I used these as an upgrade to my stock sagging springs. Going from 1750lb to these 2000lb springs lifted the trailer roughly 1 inch which was perfect as I'm often offroad
Great customer service quick shipping t ime.
3 springs that are correct are fine. The 4 spring is the wrong spring, sent a 4 leaf instead of a 7 leaf, still waiting on the correct replacement.
Would be five stars if they came with bronze bushings
Shipping was pretty fast. Springs look good. Putting them on the trailer later today. Thank you!
Nice price. Quick delivery. Product was a perfect fit. I’m very happy and will return for my trailer parts.
Haven't installed as of yet but the customer service was excellent Fast shipping and good company follow up. Carter put all my questions and research at ease
I had called other suppliers, not answering phone or had no clue / answers to my questions
Haven’t had a chance to install them yet, I do believe they will work good. Replacing flattened old #3500 leafs with these for a single axel travel trailer.
The paint/coating on the springs looks awful, hopefully the metallurgy is better. Also, the leafs are shorter than the OEM Dexter spring that it replaces.
The leaf spring showed up onto the campground a day earlier than expected! Great job getting us our part so we could enjoy our vacation!
Huge difference from 4 leaf to 5 leaf on my tandem 5200lb axles
These were the perfect replacement for the springs on my 10 year old Keystone Fuzion 414. They arrived in perfect condition and I was able to do the install myself. It took the entire day because I had never done it before but in the end, I'me very happy witht he outcome.
New springs eliminated the annoying trailer squeaking noise. Very Pleased five star rating
Perfect replacement for my stock Dexter Springs.
Also installed the Dexter EZ Flex Equilizer with Wet Bolt Kit.
Ordered springs for my camper because mine had worn out and become flattened. Replaced with 8k springs and went very smoothly. A little learning curve with triple axle but product was perfect. Very happy. Make sure you ordervnrw u bolts and brass bushings and wet bolts too. I did not and had to after the fact. That was my error.
Broken leaf spring): Ordered the leaf spring late Friday afternoon California time zone. (We travel full time). Most impressed, order was processed Friday night by E-Trailer, with two day delivery. Of coarse it was the weekend, part was picked up Monday morning in Missouri and I had it in my hands by 11:30am Tuesday. I could track the order easily with the link E-trailer provided. We were near Redcrest California, which is not a big town at all, about 50 miles south of Eureka CA.(no parts of this kind in the area). And the best part of all--the part fit perfectly! E-trailers website is very user friendly for getting the right part, the first time!!
The brass bushings should not have to be pounded in and then the bolt through the bushings because the bushings oblong them selves because the springs are not straight.
Thank you for getting thos
