Features to know about

Smooth Out the Bounce: Single 1-Leaf Spring Flexes to Absorb Shock

Rough roads can rattle a trailer and everything in it. This 1-leaf double-eye spring takes the edge off by flexing as you roll, absorbing road shock so the trailer rides smoother and parts last longer. It’s built for 6,000-lb trailer axles and carries 3,000 lbs per spring. At 25-1/4" from eye to eye and 1-3/4" wide, it keeps your suspension geometry steady and your wheels tracking right.

Reliable Strength for Heavy Loads: Steel Construction You Can Count On

When you’re hauling weight, the suspension hardware has to hold up. This sturdy steel spring gives your axle a solid, consistent mount point to the frame. The 7/8" thick single leaf handles big loads without stacking multiple leaves, keeping the setup simple while still supporting up to 6,000 lbs per axle. It’s a dependable replacement for worn or sagging springs that have lost their shape over time.

Level Ride Every Time: Keeps the Trailer Sitting Even

A trailer that sags on one side or bounces unevenly can wear tires fast and make towing unpredictable. This spring keeps the ride level by suspending the axle correctly under the frame and letting each side work evenly as the load shifts. It’s designed to mount between hangers at both ends—one fixed and one on shackles or an equalizer—to let the suspension move naturally over bumps and dips.

Simple Fit for Maintenance or Fabrication: Works with Standard 9/16" Hardware

Whether you’re fabricating a new setup or swapping out a tired spring, this part fits right in. The spring eyes measure 0.59" across and fit standard 9/16" bolts. It’s designed to be used without bushings, making installation straightforward. Replace springs in pairs for best alignment, and you’ll have a refreshed suspension that tows straight and smooth for miles.

Holding out like a champ!

I was very satisfied with my purchase from Etrailer. The part was exactly what I needed at a reasonable price and delivered promptly. Would definitely purchase from them again.



by:

I'm using as a back-up to carry in case of a spring breakage on our trip to AK. Being a single leaf, it will take up less room, appears to be good.



by:

I would definitely recommend etrailer to anyone looking for parts for their trailer, equipment, etc. Great customer service, good pricing and fast delivery.



by:

Bought with heavy duty shackle kit. Shackle kit is nice, however leaf spring holes are not manufactured to the precision of shackle kit. These springs will require machining for proper tolerances and shape. While reaming bushings may help, won’t excuse the shape. Round pegs don’t fit in square holes…

  • 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.

  • 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...

  • 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.

    I went ahead and attached a diagram that shows the spacing of the hangers on the 6-Leaf Slipper Spring w/ Hook End for 8,000-lb Trailer Axles - 29-1/2" Long # e46SR. This is the spacing you will use with the Tandem-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for 2" Slipper Springs - 12" Long Equalizers # APT6SE.

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • 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.
