Features to know about

Smooth Out the Rough Spots: 6-Leaf Slipper Spring Handles 8,000-lb Axles

A stiff or sagging suspension makes every bump feel worse. This 6-leaf slipper spring flexes to absorb road shock and smooth out rough rides. Built for 8,000-lb trailer axles, each spring carries 4,000 lbs and keeps the trailer level on uneven ground. The 29-1/2" long, 2" wide spring uses a hook-end design that lets the axle move with the road instead of transferring every jolt through the frame.

Reliable Strength for Heavy Loads: Sturdy Steel With 3/8" Thick Leaves

When you’re hauling weight, weak springs aren’t an option. Each of the six 3/8" thick steel leaves works together to hold heavy loads steady mile after mile. The steel construction resists flex fatigue, keeping the suspension firm and predictable. You get a solid connection between axle and frame that cuts down on bounce and sway, even when your trailer is loaded to capacity.

Built-In Fit and Function: 9/16" Eye With Nylon Bushing Installed

Getting the right fit keeps the suspension moving freely. This spring includes a pre-installed nylon bushing with a 9/16" inner diameter and an 11/16" eye diameter without the bushing. It’s sized for standard suspension bolts so the eye pivots smoothly without binding. The hook-end slips into a rear hanger or equalizer for simple, dependable articulation.

Long-Term Suspension Health: Replace in Pairs for Proper Alignment

Keeping both sides balanced prevents uneven wear and tracking issues. Replacing leaf springs in pairs ensures the trailer stays aligned and rides level. The new springs match each other in tension and length, protecting tires, hangers, and equalizers from premature wear. It’s a straightforward way to restore that stable, confident towing feel.

Thanks
trailer!!



by:

Just as described and fast shipping



by:

Great customer service and quick delivery. Have yet to install



by:

The installation was fairly straight forward and the springs bolted right up. I do feel like the springs are a bit weak for 8k springs, I've hauled heavier loads with 7k suspension with more clearance between the axles and frame. But I've had no issues with the suspension thus far.



by:

Spring and related hardware were exactly as described and fit perfectly. A year later and no complaints.

See what our Experts say about this etrailer Trailer Leaf Springs

  • Are Leaf Springs Corrosion Resistant
    Hi Clarence; leaf springs like the # EM48AJ you referenced and the # e39SR you ordered have a powder coat finish. This will resist the basic elements and help prevent corrosion. We also have leaf springs like the etrailer Rust-Resistant 6-Leaf Slipper Spring # e46FV which come with a Dacromet finish with a salt spray rating of 700 hours ideal for applications like your boat trailer.

  • Replacement 29-1/2" Leaf Spring Rated for a 5.2K Axle
    Hey Dan, thanks for reaching out! It's possible someone had upgraded your leaf springs to 8K like what we see with the etrailer # e39SR, but even if that's the case I recommend reaching out to your local trailer shop to see if they are able to order some custom leaf springs for you. Our selection is fairly limited, so we don't have one with the length and weight rating you need which is why I recommend having a shop order one directly for you.

  • How to Determine Correct Replacement Slipper Springs for Triple Axle Trailer With 8,000 lb Axles
    I can help you determine exactly what you need to replace the suspension in your triple axle trailer, although we don't have any type of database which has each part for each year, make and model of trailer that would tell us exactly what you have on your trailer, which means you'll need to do a bit of pretty simple measuring. Since you have a triple axle trailer, with three 8,000 lb axles you will need slipper springs for that axle capacity, for which we have two of that capacity. To...

  • Distance Between Hangers When Installing Slipper Springs
    The B dimension on a slipper spring is the distance that should be between the hanger and the mounting point on a slipper spring equalizer. For example the part # e39SR that you referenced should have a distance of 24-7/8 inches between the first hanger and the equalizer mounting point. Since equalizers can have different lengths there isn't a standard dimension with this spring. Let's use hanger kit part # AP202-H238 as an example. The first hanger of the hanger kit part # AP202-H238...

  • Hanger Kit Recommendation for use with 29-1/2 Slipper Springs with 7000-lbs Tandem Axles
    Yes. You can use the Tandem-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit # AP216-H238 with your 29.5" Slipper Springs # e39SR; you'll want to make sure that you space your axles 35-1/8" apart (center on center) when assembling your trailer to correctly fit the # SP-161275 springs and the # AP216-H238 hanger kit. The # AP216-H238 kit comes with everything you need to mount your leaf springs including the hangers, equalizers and mounting hardware. You'll want to make sure that the hangers are installed by a...

  • Are Double Eye Leaf Springs Rated For 8,000 lb Axles
    Thank you for that detailed information and what I can tell you is that when choosing leaf springs, the actual number of leafs isn't the most important thing, the weight rating and center-eye to center-eye measurement is what you need to know. I have added a cut out from the help article on double eye trailer suspension which I highly recommend reading. We do not carry double eye springs rated for 8,000 lb axles and there is no way for us to know the rating of your currently installed...

  • Replacement Spring Hangers And Suspension Components For 8,000 lb Axles
    I can certainly point you in the right direction on a few of the parts you will need. Unfortunately we do not carry a 20-3/4" long equalizer, so we do not have any kits that would accommodate that hanger size and axle spacing. We do have a few hanger kits for 2" wide slipper springs like the # H202. This comes with 4-1/4" tall front hangers, 3-1/2" tall center hangers and 5-1/4" tall rear hangers. We do not have any hangers that are 7" tall. We do have the Wet equalizer bolt # TRFA71063,...

  • Is There A Torque Specification For Spring Eye Bolts?
    If you are referring to the torque specification for the spring eye bolt, there is not a torque spec for this bolt. The general rule is to tighten the nut for the bolt until good and tight, but not too tight to where it will bind the spring. If the nut is too tight it will cause the suspension to bind. You can use the bolt # 9163B and lock nut # TRFA916DLNZ for a 2" wide leaf spring like the # e39SR

  • Hanger Spacing for Tandem-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit AP216-H238 and 29-1/2 Inch Slipper Springs
    When using trailer suspension hanger kit # AP216-H238 with spring E5115, # e39SR, the distance from the center of the front hanger to the center of the middle hanger AND the distance from the center of the middle hanger to the center of the rear hanger are both 31 inches. Measurements for hanger kits are approximate and it is recommended to mock up the suspension to get the proper spacing prior to permanent installation.

  • Leaf Springs for 8K-Rated Axle
    We do offer both double-eye and slipper-type leaf springs for many axle weight ratings. You can see all of these leaf springs on the page I linked for you. In the 8K axle capacity we offer two slipper-type springs. Part # e39SR is a 6-leaf slipper spring that is 29-1/2-inches long. Part # e37SR is a 7-leaf spring that measures 26-5/8-inches. Both are 2-inches wide. Please note that leaf springs tend to stretch when they are worn so the length of the old spring you remove may measure...

  • Option For Slipper Spring Between 29 - 30 Inches For 14,000 lb Trailer
    We have something close but not exactly, which my still work for you, with the 6-Leaf Slipper Spring w/ Hook End for 8,000-lb Trailer Axles # e39SR. The # e39SR is 2 inches wide, but measures 29-1/2 inches, and you generally want one a bit smaller than the current springs to take into account the fact they will elongate over time.

  • Dexter Tandem-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for 2 Inch Slipper Springs
    Yes, the Dexter Tandem-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for 2" Slipper Springs item # HAP-105-205-01 will work with Universal Group 6-Leaf Slipper Spring item # e39SR. These slipper springs are 29-1/2" Long. You will want to ensure the distance between the front and center hangers is 32-2/5", the distance between the u-bolts on your axles is 38", the distance between center and rear hangers is 32-9/10", and the distance between the center of the axle and your trailer's frame is 4 7/8".

  • Can Leaf be Added to Trailer Suspension Slipper Spring
    Hey Sammy, it sounds like you are asking if you could add a leaf to the slipper spring that you have now which there isn't a way to do that. If you aren't happy with your current leaf springs only solution would be to replace them with something like the part # e39SR.
