Features to know about

Smooth Ride on Rough Roads: 4-Leaf Slipper Spring Absorbs Shock

Rough or uneven roads can make a trailer bounce and rattle. This 4-Leaf Slipper Spring takes that harshness out of the ride by flexing to absorb shock and vibration. Each of its four steel leaves work together to resist jarring impacts, keeping the trailer level and steady whether loaded or empty. With a 1,850-lb spring capacity (3,700-lb axle capacity), it’s built to handle demanding use while reducing wear on the frame and suspension.

Reliable Suspension Support: Strong Steel with 30" Unloaded Length

When you’re replacing worn or sagging suspension parts, factory specs matter. This spring measures 30" from the center of the spring eye to the end of the flat slipper tip, giving a precise fit that restores proper axle alignment. At 1-3/4" wide with 3/8"-thick leaves, it’s tough enough for consistent performance under load. The sturdy steel construction ensures lasting strength that stands up to long miles and heavy duty use.

Quiet, Low-Maintenance Movement: 9/16" Nylon-Bushed Eye

Creaking and metal-on-metal noise can ruin a trip. The pre-installed nylon bushing in the 9/16" spring eye prevents that by letting the spring pivot smoothly on its hanger bolt. It keeps movement consistent and quiet, cutting down on friction and extending hardware life.

Easy Fit for Straightforward Replacement: Designed for Slipper Hanger Systems

This spring is made for trailers that use slipper-style hangers. The front eye mounts to the hanger on the frame, and the flat rear end slides easily into the back hanger or equalizer. The geometry is dialed in for simple positioning and a balanced suspension setup. Replace both springs at once for even ride height and alignment, and the suspension will track straight and smooth again.

Great replacement for my power hammer



by:

Exactly what we ordered. Very good quality. We would buy from them again.



by:

Great for my application. The hardest part of the installation was removing the old Leaf springs which had a turn down on the end. I had to seperate the individual leafs to accomplish this. Once that was done, installing these was a breeze. They also provide plenty of support due to the thickness of each leaf.

Bought these in conjunction with new springs and 48" axle for an old galvanized boat trailer (for a Hobie cat). Axle, springs and U-bolts all bolted together perfectly. Trailer is like new!

@William That is great to hear! I am glad they made the ride better for you. I took a look at that boat since I have not heard of them and that is a super cool rig. What body of water do you mainly take it out on?


by:

Exact match without the rust! Great service and shipping.



by:

Bolted right in and raised my trailer 2” in order to clear the new Kenda tires I added.



by:

Matt, thank you for teaching what a slipper leaf spring was and how to get the correct measurements so I could replace the smaller springs with springs that could carry a greater load with the bigger tires. They are already on the trailer and look fantastic with the bigger tires - THANK YOU



by:

Good quality. Definitely helped with fender well clearance going from 3 to 4 leafs to accommodate a heavier outboard motor. Will need to do some fabricating for the u bolt mounting plates as the bolt that holds the spring together is about an inch off from the original set of springs. Need the axle to be at center of fender well.

Oh yeah, you definitely have better clearance now. What length were your old u-bolts?

  • Where Should Rear Hanger Location be for Slipper Springs
    Hey Dion, on slipper springs like the part # e89SR that you referenced the rear hanger location should be right in the middle of the flat portion on the back of the spring. It's not an exact science but having the hanger sit right in the middle of the flat portion of the spring allows it to move like it needs to when suspension is compressed and also not slip out.

  • Can Slipper Springs be Used to Replace Double Eye Trailer Leaf Springs
    Hey Allen, good to hear from you! You can swap to the 30" Slipper Spring # e89SR, but it will require you to get a whole new hanger kit installed on your trailer which means cutting the old ones off and having new ones welded on by a professional. A much better option to beef up your suspension would be to install the 4K Double Eye Leaf Spring # e22YR because you'll continue to use the rest of your current components.

  • Replacement Recommendation for 3.5K Single Leaf Trailer Spring
    Hey Isaac, thanks for reaching out! I'm guessing the photo you sent in was of the busted spring? The closest thing we have to working for your setup is the 4-Leaf Slipper Spring w/ Flat End # e89SR. This is rated for 3,700 lb axles and measures 30" from the center of the eye to the very end of the leaf spring, so it should fit your application just fine. Typically the best way to measure the correct spring length for a slipper spring is to measure from the center eye to the end while...

  • WHat Info Is Needed to Pick Out Replacement Leaf Springs and U-Bolts Trailer Suspension
    Hey William I will need to know the axle capacity of your trailer and the length of your current springs to determine what springs you'd need and the correct U-bolts to go with it. I would also need to know if you need double eye springs or if you need slipper springs.

  • Replacement Suspension For a Old Trailer With 32-1/4" Slipper Springs and 1-3/4" Axles
    The longest 1-3/4" wide slipper spring we carry is 30" from the center eye hole to end of the flat slipper end. We have springs for 1,800lb # e29SR, 2,900lb # e49SR and 3,700lb # e89SR axles. With your axle diameter being 1-3/4" in diameter it likely is only a 2,000lb axle. All the springs above have a 15" length from center of eye to center of spring pack along the curve. The center of spring to end of spring along the curve is only 17-3/4". If this will not fit your application you...

  • 1-3/4 Inch Slipper Spring That is 30 Inches Long and Over 2,500 lb Capacity
    We have a couple of slipper springs that may work for you, as they are 1-3/4 inches wide, measure a total of 30 inches, and have the capacity you need. Springs do elongate over time, but you may have to have your brackets re-positioned if the 30 inch length isn't enough (this is the longest available for 1-3/4 inch or 2 inch springs). You will want to get a spring that is as close to your axle capacity as possible without going under it's capacity. - 2,900 lb Axle: 3-Leaf Slipper Spring...

  • Recommended Replacement for 4-Leaf 32" Long Trailer Slipper Springs
    In order to find the correct replacement leaf springs for a trailer you first need to start by noting the type whether that be slipper or double eye. Then, you'll need to measure their unloaded length via jacking up the trailer. If the springs are worn they will measure longer than their replacement. Lastly, you will need to note the axle capacity which is found on the tag in the center of the beam. Please note, the number of leaves does not really denote capacity as leaves have different...

  • Will Reducing The Number Of Leaves On A Spring Effect Ride Height/Fender Clearance?
    Yes, reducing the number of leaves on your leaf springs will lower your ride height and reduce your fender clearance. Lets say for example that the current spring has 9 leaves, and each leaf is 1/4" thick. So the whole spring is 2.25" thick in the middle. Say we replace that with a 5 leaf spring with 1/4" thick leaves. This spring would be only 1.25" thick and we would have lowered the deck of the trailer by 1". If you are looking to replace your springs, we should have options for you....

  • Replacing Slipper Springs on Boat Trailer for 3,500 lb Axle
    Hey Chuck, thanks for all of the dimensions you mentioned from your current springs. Based on that the best replacement option we have would be the part # e89SR which is for a 3,700 lb axle, is 1-3/4 inches wide, and overall is 30 inches. Your hanger distance of 27 inches would be perfect for this as well.

  • Determining Correct Replacement Slipper Spring For Boat Trailer with 3,700lb Axle
    Based on the weight information you provided, you'll want to go with a 3,700lb slipper spring, though you need to figure out the length of your current spring first. It's never a great idea to have a spring that's right at the max, as you're asking for a short life of the spring due to it always being used at its max. Having a little bit of a buffer is a much better idea for ride and spring longevity. The etrailer # e89SR is rated for 3,700lbs and measures 30" from the center of the spring...

  • Do You Carry a 37" Long Slipper Spring With 4-Leaves For a Cox Boat Trailer?
    The 30" Slipper Spring # e89SR is our longest 4-leaf spring. I might be able to help you change out your springs with a different size that are more easily found if you can send me some images of your suspension setup with measurements from the hangers.
