• Converting 3,500 lb Torsion Axle to Spring Leaf Axle on Boat Trailer
  Hey Sam; thanks for the question and yes it is possible to go from a 3,500 lb torsion axle to a spring leaf axle on your boat trailer. You'll need to have new hangers welded on, as well as get leaf springs and, of course, the axle itself. For the hanger kit you can go with the Single-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for Double-Eye Springs - 3-1/4" Front, 1-1/4" Rear # APS4 which gives you 5 inches of distance between the center of the axle and the trailer frame. For 3,500 lb leaf springs you can...

• Troubleshooting Slanted Equalizer on Unloaded 7K Cargo Trailer
  Thank you for providing all of that information! From the photos and dimensions it looks like you have the suspension kit that's equivalent to the Tandem-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit # APT5. For your axle and hanger spacing you need lead springs that are more in the 25-1/8" to 25-1/8" range. Leaf springs will elongate over time and if you took the center eye measurements with the weight of the trailer down then both of those will contribute towards the longer spring measurement, but from my...

• Determining The Correct Replacement Leaf Springs For A 2021 Keystone Passport Grand Touring TT
  You could potentially replace your leaf springs with a larger capacity spring but will need to match the length of your current leaf springs to avoid having to remove and reinstall the hangers and rest of the suspension system, which is a giant hassle and a lot more costly than just replacing the springs. If you have double-eye leaf springs you'll need to measure from the center of one eyelet to the center of the other. If you have slipper springs then you'll need to measure from the...

• Is Double Eye Spring Better Than Slipper Spring
  Hey Dirk, in general double eye is a smoother ride quality than a slipper since there's more friction with a slipper setup but if the boat trailer will see saltwater I would go with slipper since there would be fewer components that would rust out and potentially fail. Slipper springs are generally seen on higher capacity applications and just aren't as popular. Now that said for a 3,500 lb axle we only have double eye springs like the Dacromet coated part # e68SR which will fight rust...

• Replacement Leaf Springs for a 2020 Forrest River Wildwood Platinum 260RTX Toy Hauler
  Hey Mike, While I don't know what exact leaf springs came on your 2020 Forrest River Wildwood Platinum 260RTX Toy Hauler, it looks like you should have 3,500 lb axles so that gives us one piece of the puzzle. The 25-1/8" Long Leaf Spring # e68SR is a standard length for this, but if you can verify the center eye to center eye length of your unloaded leaf spring that will tell us if this is the correct length for you, or if you need to filter through the linked selection for one that matches...

• Replacing Suspension Assembly On Tandem Axle Boat Trailer
  Hey Jim, welcome back! You are on the right track with the # APT5 kit. As long as the hanger height, shackle and equalizer length are the same, you can be sure it will work. The equalizer in the kit is 7-3/4" long center hole to center hole. The shackles are 2-5/8" long. Its best to have all this stuff match the stock sizing, just be sure everything will line up correctly. Also, yes leaf springs are measured center hole to center hole. The best practice is to jack up one side of the trailer...

• Info Needed to Pick Out Leaf Spring for Single Axle Trailer
  Hey Brian, we don't have any springs that are the ideal length based on what you listed but do you happen to know what the axle capacity is on the trailer? That would be a good place to start to come up with best option but you will most likely need to move some of the hangers.

• Looking for Rust Resistant Replacement Leaf Spring, U-bolt Kit, and Hub for 3,500 lb Trailer Axle
  Hey Greg, welcome back! From a previous conversation you said you need a 25 inch long leaf spring so for one closest to that for a 3,500 lb axle you would want the part # e68SR for a galvanized spring that is 25-1/4 inches long. This is closest size we have to what you need and the extra 1/4 of an inch would not be a problem at all. For the correct galvanized trailer hub you would want the part # AKIHUB-545-35-G-K and then for a galvanized u-bolt kit you'd want the part # CE23002. Do you...

• Looking For Replacement Leaf Springs And Brakes For My 2011 Nitro Z7
  Hey Jason, I am not finding much on the numbers Bass Pro gave you as replacements. What I can find on the leaf springs is that they are 25-1/4" long, and you want to stay with that same size. For that we do have a leaf spring # e68SR that is that same size but a 3,500lb capacity. All that will do is possible have your trailer sit higher than normal, length of the leaf spring is more important. The brake kit you mentioned # K2HR35DKG does correspond with the information I could find...

• Replacement Leaf Spring for 2021 Forest River Travel Trailer with 3,500 lb Axles
  Since you have 3,500 lb axles you most likely currently have 3,500 lb axle leaf springs which we have in a 4 leaf spring with part # e68SR. This is 25-1/8 inches long which is a very common length and most likely your best option. But without knowing the length of your current springs it's hard to say exactly if this is what would fit best. We also have this spring in a length of 23-1/8 inches with part # e54SR. The spring you mentioned could work too but since it's rated for a 4,000...

• Replacing Slipper Springs Incorrectly Installed on 18' Boat Trailer With Double Eye Leaf Springs
  Based on your images it does appear your trailer was built to have double eye springs rather than a slipper spring. For this you will need to measure your current mounts from bolt hole center to bolt hole center. We have the 3,500LB leaf springs which will provide you with enough capacity. We have them in a 23-1/8" # e59SR, 25-1/8" # e68SR or 27" # e97SR length. You will want to select the spring length slightly larger than your mounting bolt pattern. You will need the Suspension Kit #...

• Will The e68SR Leaf Spring Work As A Replacement For Dexter 072-042-00 Spring?
  From what I could find on the Dexter 072-042-00 leaf spring, it appears to be the standard 1-3/4 inch wide double eye spring which is 25-1/4 inches long and rated up to 1,750 pounds (per spring). With that said, the 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 3,500-lb Trailer Axles - 25-1/8 inch Long # e68SR will definitely work as a replacement for you. The slightly, and I emphasize slightly, smaller size will not have any affect on your trailer's suspension. With this spring also having a Dacromet coating,...

• Replacement Leaf Springs for Wesco Boat Trailer
  For a 3,500 lb trailer axle leaf spring I would recommend the galvanized part # e68SR which is 25-1/8 inches long. Galvanized steel holds up a lot better to rust than standard steel and while this is a little shorter than what you have now worn out springs tend to flatten out and get longer over time. For a 2 inch square u-bolt kit then you'd want the part # CE23103 and you'd be set. To pick out an axle you would need to know the hub face to hub face dimension as well as the spring seat...

• Replacement Axle, Springs, Wet Bolts, Equalizers, and Brakes for Tandem Axle Trailer
  I'll start by covering the axle since this information is important for other components as well. The first thing you want to do is identify your axle capacity. Since this is a tandem axle trailer and you're thinking 7,000 lb capacity you probably have tandem 3,500 lb axles. Take a look and see if you have the capacity listed on axle tags. If not, you can measure the diameter of the axle. A typical 3,500 lb axle has a 2-3/8" diameter. If you find that you have a 3,500 lb axle, and your...

• What is Most Common Leaf Spring Length for 3,500 and 5,200 lb Trailer Axles
  If you are picking out springs for a fabbed up trailer I would go with the more common leaf spring lengths as that will make picking out replacements in future a little easier. For 3,500 lb axles the most common length would be 25-1/8 inches like the # e68SR. In the 5,200 to 6k range the 25-1/4 inch length is the most common like the part # e34SR.

• Replacement 25-1/2 Inch Leaf Springs and U-Bolt Kit For Travel Trailer With 3,500LB Axles
  It sounds like you have the 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 3,500-lb Trailer Axles # e54SR which are 25-1/8". This measurement is taken with the leaf spring relaxed from center of bolt hole to center of bolt hole. With them holding the weight of the trailer they will begin to flatten out and get longer. We do also have them with a Dacromet Coating # e68SR which will withstand corrosion better than painted steel units. The CE Smith U-Bolt Kit # CE23002 includes new u-bolts, washers, nuts and...

• Replacement Fenders and Hardware Needed for 1984 Shorelander Boat Trailer
  Thank you for all of the information and photos - it really helps give me a good idea of what you have/need. The parts that you asked about are listed below but I will say you may need a new axle as well if the location where the current leaf springs mount are outside of the trailer frame. Leaf Spring - 4-Leaf Double-Eye # e68SR (you'll need 1 for each side) Mounting Hardware - etrailer # APS4 Fenders - Redline # PF11X35W-2 (comes with mounting brackets but you'll need to supply the...

• Replaced My Leaf Springs On My Trailer, How Do I Get The Right Size?
  Hey Carlos, Your original springs definitely flattened out over time and will measure longer than what they originally were. So the 26" you replaced them with was longer than what you needed. Your original ones were most likely closer to a 25" spring. It doesn't come down to what is easier, but what you want to do to make your trailer ride normal. You are going to want to get the right size leaf springs for that trailer and replace the 26" ones on it now. Do you happen to have the original...

• Replacement Leaf Springs for 2015 Yetti 6x16 Fish House
  Based on measurements alone the etrailer Rust-Resistant 4-Leaf Double Eye Spring # e68SR would work as a replacement. However, the one thing you will need to find is the axle capacity on your trailer. Try checking for an axle tag to see if it is listed or if it has a serial number on it. You could also try contacting Yetti with your VIN to have them identify it. Yetti doesn't list anything about axle capacity or even GVWR for these trailers for me to take a guess. If you have a 3,500...

• How To Find Replacement Double-Eye Leaf Spring For A 2021 Cherokee Arctic Wolf 287BH
  The 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring # e68SR may be a fit for your 2021 Cherokee Arctic Wolf 287BH, but there are a few things that will need to be confirmed before solidifying an answer to your question. Unfortunately, trailer/camper manufacturers do not have parts lists with what they installed on any given trailer, so you will need a couple things. First, take the weight off the spring by either taking the springs off or by jacking up one side of the trailer so all the weight is off the spring...

• Should 4,000 lb Leaf Springs be Used on Boat Trailer With 3,000 lb GVWR
  I do not recommend going with 4,000 lb leaf springs on your boat trailer with a GVWR a touch less than 3,000 lbs. It will make the ride bouncier than need be, but a 3,500 lb spring should do well, assuming when your boat is on the capacity is somewhat close to the 3k GVWR. To find the right length leaf spring you just want to measure your current leaf springs from center-to-center of the spring eyes; leaf springs also flatten a bit over time, so you should go with ones that measure a bit...

• Replacement Leaf Spring Recommendation for 2009 Venture VAB-3025 Boat Trailer
  According to my research you should need 25-1/8" long springs rated for a 3,500 lb axle which means you'll need the following parts: - 3.5K Leaf Spring # e54SR OR Upgrade to part # e68SR - U-Bolt Kit # CE23002 for Round Axle OR # CE23103 for Square Axle - Heavy Duty Suspension Kit # K71-403-00 You'll want to verify the length of your current leaf springs by lifting your axle off the ground by the frame and measuring from center eye to center eye. If you measure something different...

• Troubleshooting Bouncy Ride and Loss of Clearance After Hanger and Leaf Spring Installation
  Although they are not rated significantly higher, installing the # e57SR could result in a noticeable difference in the ride. Springs rated for your 3,500 lb axle (1,750 lb spring capacity) would be the better option. I'm not sure what you had before, but the replacement leaf springs should be approximately the same length as the old leaf springs on your travel trailer. That is, the spring eye to spring eye measurement. Since the old leaf springs were flat the replacement should be a bit...
