• Replacement 26" Double Eye Leaf Spring for D52 Dexter Axle
  Hey Scot, thanks for all of the details! The D52 on your axle should mean that the axle is rated for 5,200 lbs so if that 26" you measured is with the frame lifted up so there isn't pressure on the spring, then I recommend picking up the etrailer # e88SR which has a Dacromet finish and a slightly higher weight rating (6K) which will all help to increase the life of the leaf spring. If you measured the 26" with the weight of the trailer on the leaf spring, then you'll need something a...

• Leaf Spring Recommendation for 2015 Shorelandr that is Rust Resistant
  Hey Josh, I have a solution for you but the spring you mentioned would be too long. Instead you'd want the part # e56FV which is 24-7/8 inches long, is also Dacromet coated and is for a 7k axle. What is your axle capacity? With that I can help you determine what disc brake components you need if you are still looking for that.

• 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....

• What Would Cause Trailer Equalizer to be Tilted to One Side After Install of New Leaf Springs
  Hey Matthew, what you you are experiencing is due to going with leaf springs that are too long and it forces the equalizer to kind of fold in on its self. I checked your order notes and you went with the part # e88SR which is a 26 inch long leaf spring for a 6k axle. So the correct spring that would fix the issue would be the part # e78SR which is 25-1/4 inches long instead. I know it sucks to have to buy new springs and redo all the work you did but it's unfortunately only way to fix it....

• How to Pick Out Replacement Leaf Springs for 2007 Weekend Warrior Model CR3905
  I was able to find out that your 2007 Weekend Warrior model CR3905 is triple axle trailer with a GVWR of 16k. That means for each axle you'd need a capacity of at least 5,333 lbs. Which means you most likely have 6k axles. We have a few options for that capacity for leaf springs but you'll need to measure the length of your current springs to be sure. If you have 26 inch long springs you'd need part # e94SR. If you have 25-1/4 inch long springs you'd need part # e78SR. You should note...

• Does etrailer Sell Leaf Springs Made in USA
  Hi Allen; none of the leaf springs we carry are made in the USA. However, we do have 6k leaf springs with your 25-1/4" measurement like the # e34SR or # e78SR. I understand wanting to buy US products but when it comes to leaf springs like these I wouldn't expect a large difference in quality. There are a few companies out there so if you're set on that just run a general search for "trailer leaf springs made in USA" and they should pop up.

• Changing 3,500 Pound Trailer Axles to 5,200 Pound Axles
  The first thing to consider is if the axle(s) are actually bent. Trailer axles have a bow in them so they are higher at the center than at the ends. When under load the axles straighten out some. That is part of how they get their capacities. If the axles are bent from damage then that is another story. Like you said the 5,200 pound axles that we have include spring seats that are on the bottoms of the axles. In order to have the spring stacks on top of the axles all you would need to...

• Which Leaf Spring Do I Need For A Lippert 5200 Lb Axle
  The 6-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 6,000-lb Trailer Axles part # e94SR is rated for 3,000 lbs which would be what you need for a little more capacity when replacing a 2,600 lb spring that is 26" long. I was able to find the answer from Kyle and he also recommends the e94SR as well in his answer, the 4-leaf spring part # e27SR is not enough capacity because although it's for a 4,500 lb axle it's only rated for 2,000 lbs. The e94SR is a 6 leaf spring which does not matter when it comes to replacing...

• Does The Amount Of Leaves On A Trailer Leaf Spring Matter?
  The number of leaves on a leaf spring does not dictate strength or capacity, so as you said, a 3000lb rated leaf spring (6,000lb axle capacity) can have various numbers of leaves since it is up to how the manufacture designed it. I wouldn't look at the 7 leaf spring as having more durability or longer life since that is not how it works. As long as you replace the spring with a spring of the same rating and length, you'll be good to go! If your current eye to eye measurements are giving...

• Replacement/Upgraded Suspension Needed for a 2006 Keystone Raptor 3712TS Triple Axle Trailer
  It can be difficult to locate information when it comes to suspension components for any trailer, but since you were able to give me ample information about your 2006 Keystone Raptor 3712TS triple axle trailer I have a solution for you! I recommend using the E-Z Flex Triple Suspension System Kit # K71-656-00 as an upgrade to your current suspension system. This has equalizers that measure 5-5/8" center-eye to center-eye and comes with shackles that measure 2-1/4" center-eye to center-eye....

• 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...

• Recommended Suspension Kit and Leaf Springs With 34 Inches Between U-Bolts
  Based on the measurements you have given, the correct kit would be the # K71-657-00 Dexter E-Z Flex Suspension Kit - Double-Eye Springs - Triple Axle - 8,000 lbs. You want to use the short equalizers. The hangers you have are designed for the 7-3/4" short version. It is critical because if you use the wrong size equalizer the springs will not compress and operate correctly. It would move the shackles into a horizontal position which would not allow the suspension to cycle. It should look...

  I would be happy to help you upgrade your 2019 Grand Design Imagine 2600RB Travel Trailer's axle's suspension and wheels/tires.

• How to Determine Which Springs Will Replace the Ones on a 5,100 Pound Dexter Axle
  To replace the springs on your travel trailer, we will need to know a few things. First, we will need to know if the springs are slipper style springs, like the 5-Leaf Slipper Spring w/ Hook End for 6,000-lb Trailer Axles # e67SR, or double eye springs, like the 5-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 6,000-lb Trailer Axles # e78SR. From there, you will need to measure your current springs. If you have double eye springs, you will measure from the center of one eye to the center of the other eye....

• Spring Hanger Spacing for 26 inch Long Leaf Springs and Availability of Shorter 6k Springs
  You will want to remove your spring hangers and then weld them in a position that allows the shackles to hang properly. On a spring that is 26 inches eye to eye on center and a single axle trailer you will want the hangers to be up to 1/2 inch less than the spring length so 25-1/2 inches on center between the front and rear hangers. We have two 6k axle leaf springs available that are shorter than 26 inches long. We have the part # e34SR which measures 25-1/4 inches and the part # e78SR...

• How To Measure Leaf Springs on a 2015 Grand Design Reflection 308BHTS For Additional Stability
  The leaf springs on your 2015 Grand Design Reflection 308BHTS are going to be 1-3/4" wide, as this is the size used on double eye leaf springs. I wouldn't get to caught up in the amount of leaves your spring has as you can switch to a different amount of leaves if you are replacing them all. To measure the length from center eye to center eye you do not want to have any weight compressing the spring. I find the easiest way to measure is along the radius of the spring from center of bolt...

• Replacement Leaf Springs on my 2016 Forest River 27RR
  With those measurements in mind and the fact that your camper has a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (total max weight of camper, gear and water loaded) of almost 9,000 lbs you have one solid choice. Using the 5-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 6,000-lb Trailer Axles part # e78SR offers the 25 1/4" eye to eye you want and uses the same 9/16" bolt size. These springs are rated for 3,000 lbs. each so in total they will give you 12,000 lbs. of capacity. Now your camper is only rated for 8,940 ish...

• Replacement Leaf Spring for 2018 Heartland Cyclone 4250
  Hey Richard, the closest option leaf spring solution to what you need is the part # e78SR which is the right size but it's for 6k axles. With that said the GVWR of your 2018 Heartland cyclone 4250 is 16.7k which three 6k axle leaf spring setups would be adequate for since that's 18k worth of capacity. This spring is 25-1/4 inch from bolt hole to bolt hole.

• Troubleshooting Amazon Trailer Leaf Springs Failing Within 100 Miles Of Use
  I completely understand your troubles and confusion with leaf springs. First do remember there are different types of spring steels so the thickness of the leaves is not always the best way to judge the weight capacity for the leaf springs. So while you would think a 3/8" thick leaf would be stronger than leaf springs which use 5/16" thick springs that is not always the case depending on the type of spring steel used. With as quickly as your new springs failed it makes me think they either...

• How to Choose Correct Replacement 6K Leaf Spring for Montana High Country 5th Wheel
  We have a handful of 6K leaf springs, like the part # e94SR you were looking at, that could potentially work for your Montana High Country but I'll need you to measure the distance from the center of one eyelet to the center of the other eyelet to make sure we get the correct length to you. The correct way to do this is to lift your trailer up by the frame so there isn't any weight that's compressing the leaf spring. Once we know the length of your leaf spring I'll be able to make a recommendation...

• Replacement Leaf Spring for 2007 Weekend Warrior FTL 4005 5th Wheel
  Spring pack thickness really isn't too important when picking out replacement leaf springs. What is most important is the length of the springs and the axle capacity.

We have the part # e34SR which is 25-1/4 inch long, part # e94SR which is 26 inches long, and # e78SR which is 25-1/4 inch long.
