  • 9/16" ID Nylon Bushing: Provides a snug fit on the suspension bolt and reduces wear.

Features to know about

Smooth Ride Over Rough Roads: 4-Leaf Design Absorbs Shock

Bumpy and uneven surfaces can make any trip feel harsh. This 4-Leaf Slipper Spring flexes to resist shock and smooth out the ride so the trailer tracks level and steady. Each of the four 3/8" thick steel leaves shares the load, cutting down on bounce and wear while keeping everything stable mile after mile.

Built for Steady Suspension: Rated for 4,000-lb Axles

When you’re carrying weight, you want the suspension to do its share of the work. This spring provides a solid attachment point for a 4,000-lb axle, with a 2,000-lb spring capacity per side. The steel construction holds strong under load while still allowing enough flex to protect the frame and cargo from road shock.

Easy Alignment and Secure Mounting: Hook End with 9/16" Eye Bushing

Keeping your axle in line starts with proper mounting. The front eye of this spring fits a 9/16" inner-diameter nylon bushing and attaches cleanly to a front hanger. The hook-style slipper end slides into the rear hanger or an equalizer for multi-axle setups, giving a simple, reliable suspension connection that keeps things centered and aligned.

Sized Right for Replacement or Fabrication: 26-5/8" Long by 2" Wide

Whether you’re replacing worn hardware or building from scratch, dimensions matter. This spring measures 26-5/8" from the center of the eye to the end of the hook and is 2" wide—ideal specs for pairing with standard hangers or equalizers. Replacing springs in pairs ensures even height and smooth suspension performance across both sides.

Long-Lasting Performance: Nylon Bushing Reduces Wear

Over time, metal-on-metal contact can cause noise and wear. The included nylon bushing helps prevent that by reducing friction in the mounting point. It keeps motion smooth through each flex of the spring, cutting down maintenance while extending the life of the suspension system.

  • Availability Of Cad Model Of 4-Leaf Slipper Spring # SP-230275
    Hey Eirc thanks for reaching out. I can provide dimensions of the 4-Leaf Slipper Spring # SP-230275 but I am sorry to say that we do not have a CAD model that we can share. I can tell you the spring is 26-5/8" long from center eye to the end of the spring. It is 2" wide and has a 11/16" eye diameter (9/16" diameter with bushing). There are 4 leaves and each one is 3/8" thick. If you need a CAD model your best bet would be to reach out directly to the manufacturer. They are the only ones...

  • Replacement Leaf Spring for 1969 Bock Dragstar Race Car Hauler
    Hey Rick, yes based on what you described the replacement slipper spring part # SP-230275 would be the correct replacement that would work well. It's for a 4k axle and it has the same length you need. That's a sweet race car! I don't know Mopars that well so I am not sure exactly what it is but it's a great looking muscle car!

  • Looking For 2" Wide 26" Long 4-Leaf Spring
    Hey Clint, thanks for reaching out. What weight capacity axle is this for? We might have a spring that will work for you, but I'd want to make sure the spring is rated correctly for your axle. We do have a 2" wide 4-leaf slipper spring part # SP-230275 that is 26-5/8" long. This is rated for a 4,000 lb trailer axle so we will want to make sure that fits you needs, and that the trailer is set up for slipper spring suspension. If a double eye spring is what you are needing, we do have those...

  • Looking For New Hangers And Springs For 2011 Karavan Trailer
    Hello Andy, thanks for reaching out. We do carry a leaf spring that may work for you, but I will need to know the weight capacity of your axle to make sure the spring is correctly rated for your trailer. For example, the 4-Leaf Slipper Spring w/ Hook End # SP-230275 is 26-5/8" long and is rated for a 4,000 lb trailer axle. The 3/8" length difference is within acceptable tolerance, so this will be a good option for you as long as your axle is also 4,000 lb rated. Otherwise, the spring could...

  • Troubleshooting End of Slipper Spring Popping Out on 2023 Outlaw Gooseneck Flatbed Trailer
    The picture with the torn up bushing looks like the eye of your slipper spring. Is that correct? If so, it is coming undone and probably the reason you're having this problem. It should be enclosed and not look similar to the hook on the end of the slipper spring. Replacing your leaf springs will likely solve the issue. This is a new 2023 trailer so you also might want to check to see if the dealer is willing to cover any repairs. That isn't exactly normal unless you're grossly overloading...

  • Replacement 25" Slipper Spring Needed for 3,500 lb Axle
    For your application I recommend using the 4-Leaf Slipper Spring w/ Hook End for 4,000-lb Trailer Axles # SP-230275. This measures 26-5/8" to the end of the spring but if you check out the attached photo you'll see that it will fit great with your 25" measurement. This is rated for a 2,000 lb axle and has a 2" width which are the only other things you need to check when choosing a replacement spring. Attached is a review video for you to reference. Please note that at this time (February...

  • Hanger Spacings for Trailer Suspension Hanger Kit AP216-H238 with 26-5/8 inch Slipper Spring
    When you use the Tandem-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit # AP216-H238 with the 4 Leaf Slipper springs part # SP-230275 the distance between the front hanger and the center hanger will be 30-1/2 inches, the distance from the center hanger to the rear hanger will also be 30-1/2 inches. This will put the axle centers at 36 inches apart.

  • Upgrading Tire Size and Suspension on a Homemade Hovercraft Trailer
    The wheels that are currently on your tires are 3-3/4 inches wide, but the width of the actual tire (section width) will be greater. The section width of your 4.80/4.00-8 tires is 4.6 inches. Moving up to a 6 inch wide, 10 inch diameter wheel like the Kenda 205/65-10 Tire and Wheel Combo 4 on 4 Bolt Pattern, # AM3H460, will have a section width of 8.07 inches. This will bring the tire approximately 1-3/4 inches closer to the trailer frame leaving a 1-3/4 inch gap. This will be plenty...

  • Determine Axle Rating by Measuring to Get Correct 2 Inch Wide Leaf Slipper Springs
    In general, you can measure the diameter of an axle tube to get the rating, though it is more of a guideline and the only way to know for sure is by some identifying marker on the axle and contacting the manufacturer. However, since that isn't a possibility for you, then measuring the tube is the best option, just know that it isn't a 100 percent guarantee. Here are the general ratings: - 1,000 lb – 2,000 lb Axles: 1-1/2 inch - 1-3/4 inch diameter - 3,500 lb Axles: 2-3/8 inch diameter -...

  • Looking For 27" Long Slipper Springs For Double Jetski Trailer
    Hey Greg, thanks for reaching out. We do have 27" long slipper springs, but they aren't 3-leaf. The number of leaves isn't as important as the spring capacity matching the axle capacity though. For example, the 5-Leaf Slipper Spring # e67SR is 27" long, has 5 leaves and is rated for a 6,000 lb axle (3,000 lbs per spring). That or another potential option is the 26-5/8" long 4-leaf spring # SP-230275. This is rated for a 4,000 lb axle. Do you know the weight capacity of your axle?
