Rough pavement and heavy loads can beat up a trailer fast. This 5-leaf slipper spring flexes to take the hit, softening road shock for a smoother ride and less wear on your frame and cargo. Built to work with a 10,000-lb axle (5,000-lb spring capacity), it keeps the ride level and steady even on uneven ground. Each of the five 3/8" thick steel leaves shares the load, so the spring rebounds smoothly instead of bouncing or sagging.
When a trailer carries serious weight, the suspension needs to match. This spring is 3" wide and made from sturdy steel that holds up under high stress. It’s designed for 10,000-lb axle setups, giving you dependable strength mile after mile. The radius-end slipper design lets the spring move naturally under load while keeping the axle properly aligned.
Every connection in your suspension matters. The front eye of this spring comes with a pre-installed rubber bushing that has a 1" inner diameter. The bushing cushions the hanger bolt, cutting down on vibration and noise through the frame. The slipper end slides smoothly into the rear hanger or equalizer, giving controlled movement without metal-to-metal grinding.
Whether you’re replacing a worn spring or fabricating a new setup, accurate sizing makes the job easier. This spring measures 30-1/2" from the center of the eye to the end of the spring, with a 2" thick spring pack. The dimensions are dialed in so you can pair it with the right hangers and hardware for reliable alignment. It’s a solid upgrade that restores suspension geometry and keeps your trailer tracking straight.

Today, we're going to be taking a look at the 5-leaf slipper spring for 10,000 pound trailer axles. This is made from a durable steel construction. It's going to flex, so it's going to absorb road shock and provide a smooth ride. It's also designed to reduce wear and tear on your trailer. It's going to ensure a level ride on bumpy and uneven surfaces. It's going to mount to the trailer frame with hangers or a hanger kit. Those items are sold separately.
If you are in need of those or interested in those, you can check out some options here at etrailer.com. You got the eye on this end here. It's got the bushing in there. On this end, you're going to have the slipper end. Now, this is a 5-leaf spring. It's going to have a spring capacity of 5,000 pounds and it is designed for 10,000 pound trailer axles.
Let's take a few measurements real quick. We are going to measure from the center of the eye to the end of the spring. That's going to give us a measurement of about 30 1/2 inches. From the center of the eye to the top of the bend, or the top of the curve, that's going to measure about 29 1/2 inches. The spring width, measuring just the thickness, edge to edge, is going to be 3 inches.
Then, the eye diameter is going to be 1 inch. Now, please keep in mind that in order to ensure proper axle alignment and suspension performance, leaf springs should always be replaced in pairs. That's going to do it for today's look at the 5-leaf slipper spring for 10,000 pound trailer axles.

Great attitudes and genuinely friendly to boot. The two of them are exactly what we all hope to get when we need factory help on the phone. This is my third order from etrailer. nuff said!

Has been in trailer for some miles now and working well.
The springs worked great for our trailer as the manufacture of our trailer went out of business and could not find exact replacement parts we bought these springs and new equalizers and redone the whole suspension
good service and quick delivery
