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 slipper spring is suspended at one end by a hanger that attaches to the eye. The other end slips into a hanger or, in the case of tandem-axle or triple-axle systems, into an equalizer. To determine the type of hangers or hanger kit you need, you must know the specific type of leaf spring you have, as well as your axle diameter and capacity. Depending on the hanger kits used with them, springs can be configured to work for single-, tandem- or triple-axle applications.

Hi everyone. Steve here with etrailer. Today, we're looking at our 5-Leaf Slipper Spring for 7,000-pound-rated trailer axles. Now folks, that means this spring itself is rated at 3,500 pounds and we do recommend always replacing springs in pairs. That way you're getting the same tension on both sides of your trailer axle, which is gonna help with the alignment of the tires and those kind of things and just give you a better all ride versus having one that's worn out and just one new. So keep that in mind, that's what we recommend.
Now these can flex to absorb road shock, and then they're gonna provide a nice, smooth ride and they do help reduce wear and tear on the trailer, having a well-performing spring versus one that's worn out. As you can see, there's five leafs in here in the stack and they've all been banded together as an extra added layer of protection. You do get the included bushing included. That eye diameter here is a 9/16 inch. The spring width is two inches wide and overall it's about 26 and one half inches in length.
Now again, this will mount to your trailer frame with hangers or a hanger kit sold separately. You should already have that on your trailer anyways. If you don't, we do sell that here as well. You can reach out to us if you need help picking out the right set of that stuff as well. Folks, that will wrap our quick look together up.
I'm Steve with etrailer, thanks for watching.
