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.

Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today I'm gonna take a look at this 25 and a quarter inch long 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 5,000 pound trailer axles. Now this leaf spring act as part of your trailer suspension system, provides the attachment point for your trailer's axle. This is for a quantity of one leaf spring. The number of leaves is four. The spring capacity on this spring is 2,500 pounds.
So when this is used with one on the other side, it'll meet the axle capacity of 5,000 pounds. Now the multiple leaves here allow flexibility to absorb road shock, allows for a nice smooth ride, reduces wear and tear on your trailer, and it'll ensure a level ride on bumpy and uneven surfaces. It is a sturdy steel construction. In the eyes, they do include the nylon bushings already installed. Now the premounted hangers or the aftermarket hangar kit is required for installation.
Those items we do sell separately on our website. Basically this spring will attach to a hanger mounted on a trailer frame at one end, and the other end connects to shackle straps suspended from the hanger or an equalizer. Now the length on the spring is always measured from the center of one eye to the center of the other. So if we do our tape measure center to center, it's gonna be right at 25 and a quarter inches. The width on the spring is one and three quarter inches, and the eye diameter with the bushing installed is nine sixteenths of an inch.
But that should do it for a look at the 25 and a quarter inch long 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 5,000 pound trailer axles.
