Features to know about

Smooth Ride for Light Loads: 2-Leaf Spring Flexes to Absorb Shock

Light trailers with worn or stiff suspensions can bounce and jar over every bump. This 2-Leaf Slipper Spring smooths that out with flexible steel leaves that absorb road shock and help your axle move independently from the frame. Each spring is rated for 500 lbs, giving a 1,000-lb axle capacity that matches small, lightweight setups. The flex keeps your trailer level and steady, cutting down on jolts that wear out tires and cargo mounts.

Reliable Fit for Tight Setups: 24-5/8" Long and 1-3/4" Wide

Getting the right geometry makes a big difference in how your suspension tracks. This spring measures 24-5/8" from the center of the eye to the end of the radius-style slipper and is 1-3/4" wide. With proper hangers spaced 23-1/8" apart, it installs cleanly without forcing alignment. It restores the axle position that your trailer was built for so your tires stay true and your fenders line up the way they should.

Strong and Simple Construction: Steel Leaves with 9/16" Nylon-Bushed Eye

Thin, worn leaves can sag and stretch over time. This one brings your suspension back to spec with sturdy steel construction and 1/4"-thick leaves that resist distortion. The front eye comes with a 9/16"-inner-diameter nylon bushing that fits standard hanger bolts for a snug, quiet mount. The slipper end slides easily into the rear hanger or equalizer, giving a dependable connection without metal-on-metal grinding.

Easy Maintenance and Long Service Life: Replace in Pairs for Best Performance

As springs age they can elongate by up to an inch, throwing off alignment and making the trailer pull unevenly. Swapping both sides at the same time keeps the suspension balanced and extends wear life on tires and bearings. The simple bolt-in setup uses standard hangers, so replacement or fabrication jobs stay straightforward while keeping the ride smooth mile after mile.

So the leaf springs fit perfectly, went on easy, and looked great! Solid black, and really did the trick, but it rained the night after I put them on and two days later they're not solid black, they have rust stains all over them.... not too sure how long they will last.



by:

Recieved my Leaf springs in only 3 days and I live in Ohio. Absolutely the BEST customer service. The springs are exactly what I wanted. I will be ordering another set to upgrade my other trailer. I will forward pictures when I have them installed.



by:

Product delivered as promised. Trailer parts (springs, etc.) well made; perfect fit. Happy camper.



by:

Springs work great! super fast shipping! I paid for second day shipping and UPS screwed up and I didn't get it for four days! Not etrailers fault It's just frustrating win you pay for 2nd day shipping and UPS SCREWS IT UP! I'm totally happy etrailer! I have ordered several items from them and will continue to!



by:

Reasonable price, quick delivery, exact replacement for my sagged, rusted together leaf springs on an old trailer I'm putting back on the road. They are made in China. I didn't see that in the description. Perhaps cou try of origin needs to be included.



by:

Excellent spring for any properly rated trailer. I used the spring on my trailer for an inflatable boat. Worked perfectly and fix exactly. Also bought new u-bolts and plates.



by:

Excellent product. The U-bolts fit the slipper springs nicely and were easy to install. I ended up not using the mounting plates as the plates welded to the existing axle matched the U-bolts.



by:

Replacement springsMy husband purchased an old rusty boat trailer to work on for a winter project. He began taking it apart and found out a section of each spring was rusted and broken. We didn't know if we could find replacement springs for such an old trailer. I went on line and one of the first results was etrailer.com. I immediately found exactly what I was looking for at a very reasonable price. The real surprise was when the order was delivered to our door less than 24 hrs. later! We now have the website bookmarked for future projects!

Repairing a small boat trailer and needed new springs and tires. I found these here and at good prices. Hopefully I won't have to do any more work on the trailer but if I do I will be looking here for parts.

by:

I'm building a light duty trailer for hauling a inflatable boat (100lbs) and outboard (100lbs). These light duty springs will be just about perfect for what I need. It was hard to find light duty trailer springs, seems like most online sites they all started at 2000LBs''



by:

Works on my 14’ Jon boat trailer. Wish I would’ve went with a little stiffer/ stronger springs but these work great too!



by:

OK, my bad ordering the first 2-leaf spring for my trailer and not realizing it wasn't for the set for both sides.

After calling back a second spring was there in 48 hours and that was with ups ground.

Awesome service, great part, the way it should be done.

Replaced the leafs on my mini trailer to 1k lbs springs. Rides so much better now, etrailer was a no hassle buy. Good prices, shipping and tracking. Thank you



by:

Product arrived exactly as described, was about a week late (due to circumstances that were out of etrailer's control) I checked with etrailer and they responded quickly and kept me updated on the shipment of my order the rest of the way. I appreciate the great customer service and will be shopping with them again!



by:

Product was exactly as described, clean, new, and worked for our repair.
The packaging was a little deformed (weak box) by the time it got to me, but still intact and no damage to product.
Repurposed pop-up camper trailer used to haul kayaks. 2K springs that were on it were too stiff and too short (popping out of slipper keeper). These 1K, slightly longer springs were perfect!



by:

works fine . I put these springs on a trailer I built to tow my motorcycle behind the car. The bike weighs 750lbs and the springs are rated at 1,000 per . with 14in tires it tows very well . great price and fast delivery... thanks

Great products and price

Have had these on the PWC trailer for about a year now. The springs are still firm and have shown no signs of rusting. The trailer is towing better too. Dollar for dollar this was the best upgrade Ive made to the trailer. Not at all disappointed at all by this purchase!



by:

Ordered new leaf springs for my trailer. Great website to locate what I needed. Order filled and on its way in less than 24 hrs. Delivery was ahead of schedule and product was just as advertised. Great customer service with an email at each step informing me of progress of my order. Great site and great company.

I’ve put a lot of miles on my trailer since replacing the springs. Not a single problem and the ones I got are better than the factory supplies ones that came with the trailer. Still very happy with my purchase!



by:

Great Company Easy to order helpful. Installation was quick and easy



by:

Perfect for my bbq pits. On my 3rd one and my 3rd pair of springs.



by:

The Slipper spring on a Calkins Trailer (23 yrs old) disintegrated and It took a while to find the replacement because Calkins in now defunct. The E trailer parts arrived in a few days . Everything went well except that the U bolt treads were too short so I had to jury-rig the second plate underneath so that the clamps tightened round the Axle and it is working fine. The first photos show Pre and Post the third photo shows that the axle itself is also corroded and though still strong, I reinforced it with Carbon fiber.

  • How to Determine if Slipper Spring SP-177275 Will Fit Trailer
    I can tell you how to determine if the 2-Leaf Slipper Spring for 1,000-lb Trailer Axles # SP-177275 will fit your trailer, though we do not have information regarding fits for individual trailers. The best way to determine if a slipper spring will fit is by measuring the length from the center of the spring eye to the end end of the spring, as you can see in the accompanying diagram. The best way to get an accurate length of a leaf spring is with the trailer up on jacks with the axle...

Depending on the exact location your red string in relation to the end of the radius spring this may account for some of the difference in the measurements. You do appear to have plenty of clearance in your fenders if the springs are not as tall. Be sure to not reuse your current U-bolts as they appear to be for a 2" axle.

  • Replacement Slipper Springs for 1982 Cox Boat Trailer
    Selecting new slipper springs for your 1982 Cox boat trailer's suspension means matching them up to your trailer's axle weight rating and also matching their width and length dimensions. The actual number of leaves does not always matter because different grades of steel can mean fewer or more leaves in a spring for it to reach is rated weight capacity. I think you are on target with the 1800-lbs axle rating for the spring # e29SR you referenced since your 1-1/4-inch diameter axle is not...

  • Recommended Leaf Spring Capacity for a Conversion Boat Trailer
    Yes and no, a leaf spring with a lower capacity will provide a better quality ride than a leaf spring with a higher capacity but you will not want to make that part the lowest rated suspension component. Typically, we recommend choosing a leaf spring with a capacity that either meets or exceeds the capacity of the axle. I would be skeptical if the leaf spring pack you have now is only rated at 1,000 lbs. However, since you have converted a boat trailer to a light duty kayak carrier I...

You can refer to the linked articles for help in selecting appropriate springs for your trailer. Do note that very well-worn springs can become elongated from years of use.

  • Do Trailer Slipper Springs Normally Slip Out of their Rear Hangers
    It's hard to see in your picture but is the hanger open on the one side which allows the spring to slide out to the side? It shouldn't be open like that.

  • Hanger Spacing Dimensions for Installing Slipper Springs on a Boat Trailer
    When determining the hanger spacing for a slipper spring you want to go with the dimensions that the hanger kit calls for. For example if you were using the slipper spring hanger kit part # APS3SE with the # SP-177275 you would want a distance of 22-11/16" inches between the hangers measured on center. This would put the hanger right at the beginning of the curve on the spring.

  • Can Lower Rated Leaf Springs Be Installed on a Trailer to Improve Ride Quality
    You can use a 1,000 lb capacity leaf spring on a 3,500 lb axle without any problems. You should note that your overall capacity would be limited to the lowest rated component of the trailer. Which in your case could be the 1,000 lb leaf springs. So basically you should be able to improve the ride quality of your trailer by going to a 1,000 lb rated spring like the # SP-177275 but you would sacrifice weight capacity. Since your trailer weighs 1,200 lbs you basically wouldn't be able to...
