Video Transcript for Review of Terran Industries Trailer Leaf Springs - 3 Leaf Double Eye Spring 2K Trailer Axle - TX68RJ

Hi everybody. Andy here with etrailer. Let's take a quick look at this Taran Industries three leaf double eye spring for your 2000 pound trailer axle. So this is going to be a replacement suspension spring for trailers that use a 25 and a quarter inch spring. And I want to just verify that measurement with you. So measuring center of eye to center of eyes, I hope you can see we're sitting right at 25 and a quarter inches.

And this is going to be, each spring is going to be 1000 pounds in capacity. So its main job is to support your trailer axle. It's going to absorb road shock. It's going to help the suspension move the way that it should. So if an old spring has flattened out, stretched out, broken, or just started letting the trailer sit low, replacing your springs can help restore that ride height and reduce excessive bouncing and improve how stable the trailer feels going down the road.

So again, this uses the double eye design, meaning there's going to be a mounting eye on both ends of the spring and we have three leaves here. So this is going to give you a combination of support and flexibility needed for normal suspension movement. The biggest thing to pay attention to obviously is going to be fitment before you pick this up. Leaf spring should be matched as closely as possible to the original spring's length, mounting style, and required capacity. As you know, worn springs can flatten and stretch over time, so an old spring may actually measure slightly longer than it did when it was new.

So for the most accurate measurement, the trailer should be supported so the suspension is unloaded and the spring should be measured from the center of one eye to the center of the other. This spring has a standard painted finish that's common for trailer leaf springs, but it is worth keeping in mind that if your trailer sees a lot of salt water or other corrosive conditions, that this just uses like a standard painted finish. So this is going to be a relatively straightforward install if you're just needing to replace the spring itself, but measuring it while it's still carrying the trailer's weight can lead to an incorrect length and choosing a spring that's too lightly rated can contribute to sagging or flattening over time. So it is a good idea to inspect the rest of your suspension on your trailer during the repair because worn bushing, shackles, hangers or hardware can turn a simple spring replacement into a larger suspension job. So again, this is going to be for your 2000 pound trailer axle.

Each spring is going to be rated at 1000, so 1000 on one side, 1000 on the other. That's where you're going to get your 2000 pound rating and it's always a good idea to replace springs in pairs.
