Video Transcript for Review of Terran Industries Trailer Leaf Springs - 5 Leaf Double Eye Spring - TX45RJ

Hi everybody, Andy here with etrailer. Let's take a quick look at this Terran Industries 5-Leaf Double Eye Spring for your trailer axle. Now, this double eye leaf spring is going to be a replacement spring for your trailer suspension. And if your springs have been flattened or if they're worn out or maybe even broken, this is gonna be a good option for you to consider. Giving you a closer view here, I'm gonna get my tape measure, try to line this up to where you can see. So, I am measuring center of eye to center of eye, and as I hope you can see there, we're sitting right at 25 1/2 inches.

And then the width is 1 3/4 inches. So the main reason that someone would be looking to replace, looking at the spring, rather, is because their existing suspension isn't supporting the trailer like it used to. As you, no doubt, know, as leaf springs wear out, they can lose their arch and flatten out. That can cause the trailer to sit lower, bounce more over bumps, or generally feel less controlled while towing. So, replacing a worn spring is gonna restore the support and suspension movement needed to help absorb road chalk and keep your trailer riding properly.

So, the capacity of this spring individually is gonna be 2,950 pounds. When checking an old spring, the best measurement is going to be that center of eye to center of eye with the weight taken off of that old spring. Worn springs tend to flatten and get longer over time. So, any old spring may measure somewhat longer than the replacement it originally matched. This does have a standard tainted finish.

If you need help with installation on this product page, underneath the Photos section, we have a link that will take you to our Installer Locator. Click that link, answer the questions that it has for you, and that locator will find an installer in your area that etrailer has partnered with to get this installed for you. It's always a good idea to replace your springs in pairs. We do have other components for your trailer suspension as well. It's always a good time when you're replacing your springs to take a look at your other suspension parts as well.

Make sure it's all in good shape. Well, again, my name's Andy. Thanks for joining me.
