• Typical Spring Deflection for Trailer Leaf Springs When at Weight Capacity
  Typical spring deflection is up to 1-1/2 inches when at capacity. So the # e46SR that you referenced should see right at 1-1/2 inches of deflection when it has 3,000 lbs on it. I attached a review video for this spring as well.

• Picking Out Replacement Trailer Leaf Spring for 3,500 lb Axle that is 25-1/4 inch Long
  Hey Thomas, the most important factors for picking out a replacement leaf spring for a trailer are matching axle capacity and length. Getting the same amount of leaves in the spring pack is actually not a huge priority so I wouldn't worry too much about that. Your best option is the part # DX23CR which is correct length and capacity. If you went with the higher rated 6k part # e46SR you'd have a really stiff ride quality.

• Dexter EZ Flex Equalizers for 6,000 Pound Axles on a 2006 Heartland Bighorn 5th Wheel
  The length is good on the EZ Flex system # K71-653-00 but the height may be different depending on where you are measuring that 4-3/4 inches. On the EZ Flex the distance from the center of the mounting hole to the center line between the 2 bottom holes, straight up and down, is 2-7/8 inches. If your 4-3/4 inch measurement is diagonal then you will be good to go with this kit. For a u-bolt kit you can use # APUBR-9. The shocks might actually feel more effective with the EZ Flex kit installed....

• Replacement Trailer Leaf Springs for Toy Hauler with GVW of 18,000 lbs
  For a set of 3,000 lb leaf springs that would fit your trailer you would want the part # e46SR. These are 25-1/4 inches from eye center to center which should work well as a replacement for your 26 inch long ones. Springs tend to flatten out over time which causes their overall length to increase slightly.

• Is There Any Advantage In Using a Single Leaf Spring Instead of a Stacked Leaf Spring
  The only advantage you might get from using the 1-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 6,000-lb Trailer Axles - 25-1/4" Long # e46SR instead of a handful stacked together, like the 5-Leaf # e34SR, is if you're needing to lower the height of your trailer. Aside from that we recommend replacing leaf springs with ones that are as identical as possible so as to keep everything the same on your trailer. It's also important to note that you need to make the same changes to both sides of your axle at the...

• Should Trailer Suspension Shackle Straps Mount Below or Above the Equalizer
  Having the shackles below the equalizer would put the leaf spring out of level. Also, the equalizer wouldn't want to function properly and most likely the shackle would end up flipping over to the top of it or binding up/putting undue stress on the leaf spring/shackle/equalizer. You would definitely want to have the shackles mounted above the equalizer. Check out the help article I attached on trailer suspension as well.

• Troubleshooting Broken Leaf Spring On a Boat Trailer With Tandem Axles Mounted Individually
  I recommend any trailer with a tandem axle setup use an equalizer regardless of the amount of leaves in the spring or if it is a double eye or slipper spring design. On a system like your trailer where each axle is mounted individually and not connected one axle will carry more of its share of the weight when one axle lowers due to road angles or unlevel trailer positioning. An equalizer setup like the Tandem-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit # APT3 will allow the suspension to continue to spread...

• Differences Between Single and 5-Leaf Leaf Springs for 6000 Lb Rated Trailer Axle
  The single leaf # e46SR is designed for use with a mobile home axle, which is intended to be a one-time use item, so I'd wholeheartedly recommend going with the other option, part # e34SR which is designed for use on a trailer that's designed to be used over a span of years. You'll be much happier with its performance. We don't offer a bushing that will work in the single leaf spring, and that's entirely a function of the one-use nature that type of axle is designed for. Also, keep in...

• 25-1/4 inch Leaf Spring Recommendation for Travel Trailer with Tandem Axles
  20 year old leaf springs on a trailer could easily stretch 3/4 of an inch. Going with a 25-1/4 inch spring like you mentioned would be great. Since your springs are 3 inch in diameter that would indicate that most likely you have a 5,200 lb axle as that's a very common rating for that size. For a 25-1/4 inch length spring we have the part # e44SR which has a 5,000 lb capacity. # e57SR which has a 4,000 lb capacity, and # e46SR which has a 6,000 lb capacity. Suspension components can be...

• Spring Spring Hanger Spacing for Spring e46SR
  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 # e46SR 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 a 6K Axle on a Tandem Trailer
  There are two spring options that would work for you, the part # e46SR that you referenced or the 5 Leaf Spring part # e34SR. The only difference is that the # e34SR is a multi-leaf spring with a 100 lbs more capacity than the # SP-115275. Either would work fine for you, I would go with the # e34SR just because of the additional capacity, and with a multi-leaf spring if a leaf fails your trailer wouldn't be completely un-usable. You would be able to limp home to fix the trailer. The Tandem-Axle...

• What is Advantage to Single Leaf Trailer Leaf Spring
  In theory a single leaf spring like the part # e46SR that you referenced is going to have a better ride quality since there isn't any inner leaf friction created by the individual leaves of a larger spring pack. Depending on if your current spring is above or below your axle the height of the trailer would be affected less too.

• Replacement Double-Eye Leaf Springs for DHM Boat Trailer
  We can help you with replacement double-eye trailer leaf springs. Do note that you always want to replace leaf springs in pairs. This is because a new spring will have a slightly different length (it will be a little shorter) than the old one; this is due to the normal elongation of the spring that happens from years of use. If you replace only one spring you can run into axle alignment issues that can affect trailer tracking and tire wear as you go down the road. Always replace both leaf...

• Replacement Leaf Spring For 1998 Boat Trailer Carrying 18-Ft Bass Boat
  The best fit when replacing leaf springs on a trailer is to know what the trailer and axle capacity is. There may be a plate or sticker that has that information listed. We offer one single leaf spring, part # e46SR, and it is designed for 6,000 axles. It has a measurement of 25-1/4 inches eye center-to-center. If you are measuring the spring after it has been taken off the trailer it may have flattened a bit over time. As far as the leaves in the leaf spring, we may have one that...

• Replacing Trailer Leaf Spring With 25-1/2" Measurement Bolt Hole To Bolt Hole
  Hey Mike, you are correct in ordering the 1-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 6,000-lb Trailer Axles - 25-1/4" Long # e46SR. In order to measure your current worn out leaf springs, you should lift the trailer off the ground to take away any strain on the suspension and measure from bolt eye to bolt eye. If this is what you did and you came up with 25-1/2", then 25-1/4" # e46SR is definitely what I would go with. It is very usual for leaf springs to measure slightly over the factory length after...

• Picking Out Upgraded Leaf Springs for 2021 Jayco Eagle HT 25.5 REOK
  Hey Chuck, since you are wanting to go up a bit in capacity a 6k spring axle would be a great option for your 2021 Jayco Eagle HT. So you will want to measure the length of your current springs though as I don't have a way to look that up. We have a few options in this capacity that cover mostly what are the common sizes. We have the part # E94SR which is 26 inches long # e47SR which is 25-1/8 inches long # e46SR which is 25-1/4 inches long Trick is to measure when there's no load on...

• Replacement Leaf Spring with Single Leaf Compared to Multi-Leaf Spring
  The 1-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 6,000-lb Trailer Axles - 25-1/4" Long # e46SR will have the same capacity strength as a multi-leaf spring. It will replace a spring of the same length with the 3,000 lb capacity so it will work for a 6,000 lb axle. The benefit of not having the multi-leaf springs is the thickness is different in that this leaf spring will only have a 7/8 inch thickness making it fit well with the U-bolt around your axle. This spring will work just as well as the 5-Leaf...

• Axle Spacing To Use 29-1/2 inch Long Leaf Springs with Slipper Axle Tandem Hanger Kit # AP216-H238
  With 29-1/2 inch leaf springs like the # e46SR that you referenced the axle spacing you'll want to use with the hanger kit part # AP216-H238 would be 35-1/8 inches. You cannot use the over under kits we offer with slipper springs.

• How to Determine the Correct Double Eye Leaf Springs For Replacement
  When replacing the leaf springs on your trailer you will need to match all of the dimensions and the spring capacity as closely as possible to the original spring. See the picture to the right for the locations of the measurements, (A) and (B) in the following paragraphs. If your trailer has a axle capacity of 6,000 pounds and the center to center measurement of the spring eyes is 24-1/4 inches, and the measurement from the center of the spring to the center of the front spring eye is...

It is a single leaf double eye spring that measures 25-1/4 inches long from center of eye to center of eye. This spring is designed for use with 6,000 pound trailer axles. The part # e46SR includes one spring. We recommend replacing springs on both sides of the trailer at the same time. There may be a label on the axle that will give you the weight capacity of...

• Are Bushings Needed for the 1 Leaf Trailer Leaf Spring # e46SR
  The # e46SR spring is designed to be used without a bushing and is normally a replacement for springs on a mobile home axle. The 9/16 inch bolt will be a bit loose in this type of spring that is used without a bushing.

• Does 1-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 6,000-lb Trailer Axles # e46SR Come with Bushings
  The 1-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 6,000-lb Trailer Axles # e46SR was designed to be used without bushings so it does not come with any. A mono leaf and a multi leaf pack don't have a performance difference that's notable. They both can and work great. A mono leaf will affect ride height the least compared to the much thicker multi pack leaf springs.
