• Are Galvanized Leaf Springs Available for a Boat Trailer
  Thanks for reaching out, Terry! There are some galvanized leaf springs on the market, but we've found that the Dacromet finish on our leaf springs, like the 25-1/4" Long # e28SR you were looking at, is better because it doesn't flake like galvanized springs do, and the Dacromet finish has a salt spray rating of 700 hours. I recommend Dacromet springs over galvanized springs, but if you're set on wanting galvanized springs I recommend checking with a local trailer shop or RV dealer about...

• Trailer Suspension Parts Needed to Increase Trailer Capacity from 7000 to 10000 lbs Gross Weight
  Your best bet for upgrading the suspension on your trailer with 5,000 lb axles is to change out the springs from 1,750 lb capacity each to at least 2500 lb capacity each. Helper springs would not increase the capacity of your original suspension, they are designed to help your suspension handle loads up to the rated capacity of the suspension. If your trailer suspension is built with double eye springs you will need to measure the springs with no load on them from the spring eye center...

• Can the Leaf Springs Be Upgraded On a Lippert 3,500 Lb Axle
  It is possible to upgrade the leaf springs on a trailer to a higher rated set but I do not recommend this as it can create a rough ride. The better option would be to install the SumoSprings Trailer Helper Springs part # TSS-107-40 for overslung or part # TSS-106-40 for underslung axles. These will offer both additional support without decreasing the ride quality. If you would still like for me to recommend a set of upgraded leaf springs, I'd need to know the unloaded length from eye to eye.

• Locating Replacement Leaf Springs for Dexter D44 Tandem Axles and Recommended Upgrades
  In order to find the right replacement leaf springs, you will need to raise the trailer up and take some measurements on one of the existing springs. This type of information isn't typically provided by trailer manufacturers and it's not something that can be determined by the axle capacity (many different leaf spring lengths could be used with 4,400 pound tandem axles). With all the weight lifted off the leaf springs, you will just need to measure their length (from the center of one...

• Replacement Leaf Springs for 2020 Gulf Stream Vista Cruiser 19ERD
  Hey Steven! The etrailer Rust-Resistant 3-Leaf Double Eye Spring for 4K Trailer Axles - 25-1/4" Long - Dacromet # e93SR will be adequate for your 2020 Gulf Stream Vista Cruiser since the Dexter D40 number correlates to a 4,000 lbs hub and drum kit like Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for 4,000-lb E-Z Lube Axles - 10" Diameter - 5 on 4-1/2 # K08-426-91. Going any higher will not be beneficial to your suspension and may likely give you a stiffer ride, causing bouncing or sway while...

• Replacement Leaf Springs for a 2018 Jayco Eagle HT 28.5RSTS
  Hey Ken! I would be happy to help you but I need some more information. There's no database that will tell me what size or capacity spring you have on your 2018 Jayco Eagle HT 28.5RSTS so what you're going to have to do is jack up one side of the trailer and measure one of the springs you want replaced from one eye to the other. The springs will flatten out over years of use and this is the only accurate way to determine the replacement. Additionally, if you could take a look at one of...

• Choosing the Correct Replacement Leaf Springs for a Weekend Warrior Toy Hauler
  In order to choose the correct replacement leaf springs for a trailer you'll need to know both the unloaded length and axle capacity. The number of springs is not relevant so long as you choose a set that matches the axle capacity as springs can have different thicknesses therefore different weight capacities not necessarily dependent on the number of leaves. A few other things to keep in mind is that leaf springs can lengthen over time and you need to replace them in pairs. I have attached...

• Recommended Leaf Springs for 4,400 lb Axle Based on Axle Position and Hanger Locations
  The typical springs for the AL-KO 4,400 axles are one of two lengths. If you have the 25-1/4 inch length, then you will want the 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 5,000-lb Trailer Axles # e28SR, but if you have the 26 inch springs, you will want the 6-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 4,500-lb Trailer Axles # e27SR. The width will be the same so you will want to determine the length based on the position of the axle using dimension A and D in the attached photos and the axle position based on the hanger...

• Replacement 26 Inch Long Double Eye Leaf Spring for Travel Trailer
  The 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 4,000-lb Trailer Axles # e22YR looks to be exactly what you need. This measures 26" from center eye to center eye and is 1-3/4" wide. This is rated for 2,000 lbs so when you replace both springs together they are rated for 4,000 lbs (check to make sure this is rated high enough for your axle specs). Be sure to replace the leaf spring on both sides of the same axle to ensure that you have a consistent ride quality.

• Solution for Needing Replacement Leaf Spring for Pontoon Boat Trailer
  Hey Brad, the capacity of leaf spring we offer that best matches what you need would be the 4,000 lb axle springs like the galvanized part # e48SR. Now this is a longer spring than what you need but we don't have any springs that match the length you need regardless of capacity so only option would be having to have the spring mounts moved. Which will require some welding.

• Do I Need to Move the Spring Hangers When Upgrading My Axle?
  Yes, you can Brian. You won't need to move your spring hangers to upgrade your axles. If you could tell me what the hub to hub distance is and what the spring seat measurements are on your current axle I can recommend a replacement. I'll also need to know what lug pattern your wheels are and what kind of brakes you have. If you could give me the dimensions of your leaf springs I can recommend replacements for those as well. I would need to know the length from the center to the opposite...

• Replacement Leaf Spring for Trailer with Dexter 4,400 lb Axle
  I checked your order notes and the leaf springs you bought last year were the part # e28SR which are for 5k axles. Since this is over the capacity of your axle failure would not have been caused by over loading the trailer assuming you stayed under that figure. Were you on off-road terrain? It's also possible the failure was a fluke or you are overloading the capacity of your trailer.

• Is it Ok to Replace Factory Leaf Springs With a Higher Capacity Option?
  Though I do tend to warn people about the ride getting stiffer when upping the capacity of their leaf springs, you are correct in that you will technically never be fully "unloaded". I do have to mention that this could still happen, but very minimally. With that being said, this is something that is done pretty often. Whether this is due to the factory springs not handling the weight very well, or wearing out over time, upgrading to a slightly heavier capacity is perfectly fine. The 6-Leaf...

• Hanger Spacing Recommendation for Leaf Spring that is 25-1/4 inches Long
  A leaf spring like the part # e28SR has a distance of 25-1/4 inches between the spring eyes. I did some checking and the hanger kit you would want is the Single-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit # APS4. And the distance between the spring hanger centers should be 24-7/8 inches.

• Replacement Leaf Spring Replacing Dexter 072-078-00 For 4,400 lb Axle
  The Dexter 072-078-00 is a 2,200 lb capacity leaf spring. You can use a higher capacity leaf spring, however it won't increase the capacity of your trailer as the axle is still rated for that max capacity of 4,400 lbs. My recommendation for a replacement is the 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 5,000-lb Trailer Axles - 25-1/4" Long # e28SR which is rated for 2,500 lbs but is the same length. It is the best option we have to replace your current springs and will work very well for you. ...

• Recommended Leaf Springs and Equalizers for Triple Axle Trailer With Double Eye Springs
  I saw you were looking at double eye leaf springs so we will assume that is what you have. In regards to leaf spring hanger spacing, the most common for a triple axle trailer is 29-1/2" first to second (center to center), 34" second to third (center to center), and 29-1/2" third to last (center to center). Therefore, it would be best if you would place the leaf spring hangers accordingly. Once the leaf spring hangers are in the above positions then you have a few options based on axle...

  Your current Dexter springs 072-097-00 are a 25-1/4 inch leaf spring that is rated for 5,200 lbs. So we have a couple options that would match the length but not the exact capacity. You'd want the part # e28SR for a 5k rated spring in this length or part # e34SR for 6k rated.

• Replacement Leaf Spring for Lippert 702095 Trailer Spring
  I looked up the Lippert 702095 leaf spring and it's a 25-1/4 inch long spring that has a 2,600 lb capacity per spring. The closest option we have is the etrailer Dacromet coated part # e28SR which is also 25-1/4 inches long but has a 2,500 lb per spring capacity. Since you have a 5,200 lb axle the next higher rated spring would be the part # e78SR which is a 6k axle rated leaf spring that is also 25-1/4 inches long and Dacromet coated. This would probably be your best choice since it would...

• Replacement Leaf Springs For a 2018 Jayco Eagle HT 29.5 BHDS 5th Wheel Camper
  Based on the gross vehicle weight of your 2018 Jayco Eagle HT 29.5 BHDS 5th wheel and the current length of 25.75" the 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring # e28SR is the most likely spring to fit your 5th wheel.

As the spring takes on weight it can measure up to 28" when fully flattened so if you can measure from the center of eye to the center pin along the curve of...

  I would be happy to help you determine the correct replacement leaf springs for your 2016 Grand Design Reflection 29RS with tandem Lippert 4400lb axles, but unfortunately the axle tags like the one shown in your picture do not have leaf spring information and neither does Lippert as the springs are put on by the RV manufacturer. Instead you will need to measure your current springs from center of spring eye to center of spring eye. You will also need to make sure the trailer is jacked...

• Leaf Spring Recommendation for a Trailer to Stiffen Up Suspension that has 3,500 lb Axles
  Regardless of the amount of leaves a leaf spring has if the capacity is the same between two of them they would both flex and bottom out the same. I would recommend you have your trailer and boat weighed so that you know whether or not you are overloading the trailer/leaf springs. You should note that going to a heavier spring won't necessarily give your trailer a higher weight rating, just a higher spring rating. For a higher rated spring you would want the part # e28SR as it has a...
