• How Can I Determine Hanger Spacing For A 27" Long Leaf Spring e97SR?
  Hello James, thanks for reaching out. I can provide some rough guidelines for you, but there is not a "set in stone" hanger spacing for a 27" leaf spring like part # e97SR. Generally, for a single axle setup, your hanger spacing for a 27" spring would be between 25-1/4" and 26-1/2". I can't give you an exact number because the hanger spacing also depends on what size shackle straps and hangers you are using. Even if we knew all that, we can still only provide rough guidelines to go by....

• 3,500 lb Rear Axle is Hitting Car Trailer Frame Are New Leaf Springs Needed
  Hey Henry, Really appreciate the photos as that made it easy to see what the situation was, and yeah, that's definitely an issue as the axle should not be hitting the frame like that. New leaf springs are a good idea as yours seem a bit long in the tooth (so to speak), but I'd also get an over/under conversion kit. The kit will move your leaf springs to the top of your axle, creating more space from the frame. I assume since you mentioned a 7,000 lb trailer that you have 3,500 lb axles,...

• Replacement Leaf Springs and Shackles for 2014 Evergreen Amped 28FS Toy Hauler
  MORryde does have a suspension upgrade kit that I highly recommend. It comes with 1/2" thick shackles, along with wet bolts and bronze bushings. You will want to choose a kit based on the length of your current shackles. For 2-1/4" you need the # MR46ZR and for 3-1/8" the # MR76ZR. For replacement leaf springs you will need to know your axle capacity along with your spring eye to spring eye measurement. Your current leaf springs will be slightly elongated since they flatten over time so...

• 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...

• Recommended Leaf Springs for a 2022 Forest River Vibe Trailer
  Hey Margarita. What specific model is your 2022 Forest River Vibe trailer and how did you get the 27" measurement on your leaf springs? You can add this information, along with any other questions you have, where it says Add Comment. Leaf springs like to stretch out over years of use so the best way to get an accurate measurement for replacements is to lift one side of the trailer up. Lifting the trailer up gets the weight off of that side of the leaf springs and you'll be able to get...

• What Weight Capacity Leaf Springs Are Needed For a 2017 Forest River Cherokee Grey Wolf 26DBH?
  Looking up the information for your 2017 Forest River Cherokee Grey Wolf 26DBH I see it has a GVWR of 7,725lbs with a 725lb tongue weight which means you likely have tandem 3,500lb axles. You should find this information on the front drivers corner of your camper on the information tag. We currently have 23-1/8" # e59SR and 27" # e97SR leaf springs with the capacity for 3,500lb axles. These lengths are from the bolt hole center to bolt hole center on the leaf springs when the springs are...

• What Leaf Spring do I Need for My 2015 Karavan Double PWC Trailer Measuring 27"?
  Hello Ramzey, I found just what you need. I do not have a database that supplies me with what is on what trailer, in my research I see that the 2015 Karavan double PWC trailer, model WC-2450-84-L, is equipped with a single galvanized steel spring axle. This axle has a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of 2,935 lbs and a carrying capacity of 2,450 lbs., but uses 3,500 pound parts. Since your leaf spring is measuring 27" (hoping this is unloaded weight) you will need the 4-Leaf Double-Eye...

• Availability Of 30-1/2" Long Leaf Spring For 3,500 lb Axle
  Hello Richard, I do appreciate you reaching out, but I am sorry to say that we do not offer the leaf spring you are looking for. The closest thing we have for a 3,500 lb axle is the 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring # e97SR which is 27" long so this would not be a suitable replacement for you, at least not without major modification to the trailer. Your best bet here will be to reach out to a leaf spring manufacturer like Dexter and see if they have anything that matches your specs.

• Replacement Axle and Leaf Springs for Trailer With Lippert 3,500 lb Axle
  Hi Josh; what you have is a Lippert 3,500 lb axle with an 85-1/2" hub face measurement (length) and 70" spring center measurement. All of our 3,500 lb axles are too long to replace what you have so I would reach out to Lippert or Dexter to see if they have a replacement that matches. We may have leaf springs but there is no way for me to identify them with that information. We already know the capacity so you will need to measure to find the right ones. I attached an article below which...

• How to Determine Correct 3,500 lb or 4,000 lb Leaf Spring For Trailer
  Hello Loren, I can help you determine the right replacement 3,500 lb or 4,000 lb double-eye leaf springs for your Keystone Bullet, though we don't have any way of knowing off-hand what specific ones you need. It's easy to find out though, as you just need to measure your current leaf springs from center-to-center of the spring eyes. Keep in mind leaf springs also flatten out a bit over time, so go with ones that measure a touch shorter than what you currently have. For example, if your...

• What Leaf Springs do I Need for My 2017 Forest River Salem 27dbk?
  Hello Scott, We will definitely have some leaf springs that will work for you, but I do not have a database that supplies me with what is put on what camper (would be pretty sweet if such a list existed), so you will need to double check my research. I am showing that you should have a tandem axle set-up with each axle rated at 3,500 pounds. You will need to measure the leaf spring with unloaded weight, it is usually best to jack the camper up to get the weight off completely. Your measurement...

  Hey Logan, we need one more piece of info to determine which replacement leaf spring you would need since we already know the axle capacity is 3,500 lb.

• How to Determine Correct 3,500 lb Leaf Springs For Keystone Trailer
  Hey Shawn, Without accurate measurements there unfortunately isn't any way to help. We don't have any way of knowing what leaf springs are on any specific trailer so you'll have to measure them. While it won't be exact, it's really the only way to do it; the best would be to jack up the trailer and measure them without a load if at all possible, but if you can't then just measuring them as-is can suffice. Since they're flat you'll want to take ones that are a bit shorter than what you...

• Identifying Old Camper Axles With 2-3/8" Diameter
  Hi Dan; is there a tag on the axle? That would be the only real way for me to identify it for sure. I'm guessing you would have an old metal tag which should have a serial number. You could also check on the axle itself for a serial number engraved on one of the ends closer to the spindle if the tag isn't there. If you add this information in the comments below I will reach out to the manufacturer if they're still around to identify the axle. Also, # 58846 is a part number corresponding...

Your 2021 Jay Feather 24BH will have 3,500 lb axles so you'll likely need one of the following: - 27" Long Leaf Spring # e97SR - 25-1/4" Long Leaf Spring # e54SR I don't have a way to look up the exact dimensions of your leaf springs, but if you lift your trailer up by the frame to take the weight off of them, then you'll be able to measure the length (center eye to center eye - C dimension in the attached photo) and let me know!

• Recommended Spring Hangers, Leaf Springs, and Axle Flip Kit for a 3,500 lbs Axle
  Hey Tip! Since you have 2" wide hangers and there's no double eyed leaf springs that are 2" wide you'll need to swap out your spring hangers. Depending on the height of your current ones this might also help you lift your trailer up some. You'll want the Single-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for Double-Eye Springs item # APS4. This kit also includes all the mounting bolts and shackles you'll nee. Then for a set of leaf springs, I recommend the 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring item # e97SR. They are rated...

• What Is Needed to Determine the Correct Replacement Leaf Springs for a Boat Trailer
  Hey Kyle, first of all congrats on the trailer! It might look wrong but don't worry it's not. Over time, leaf springs will flatten and elongate causing them to measure a bit longer than when originally installed. Since we are talking about less than an inch here of difference, I'd say with good authority that that's what happened. To double check that you have the right measurement, you're going to need to let your trailer's axles hang free and measure the eye to eye, the width, and the...

• Availability Of 27" Long Leaf Spring For A 5,200 lb Axle
  Thanks for reaching out, Gary, we do offer some 27" long leaf springs, but I am sorry to say that we do not have anything rated for a 5,200 lb axle. Our 5,200 lb axle springs will be more like 24" or 25" long so much to small for you. The 27" long spring # e97SR is rated for a 3,500 lb axle so not heavy enough. You may want to try contacting a spring manufacturer such as Dexter directly to see if they have anything. Also, make sure that you are jacking up the trailer when you measure...

• Looking For Replacement Leaf Spring For 2015 Pace OB6X12S12 Trailer
  Hello Bobby, thanks for reaching out. I can certainly point you in the right direction, but there is no way to know what leaf spring you will need based on the year make and model of trailer. Trailer manufacturers just do not list leaf spring specs online. Your best bet will be to measure one of the current springs. Jack up the trailer on one side so you can measure the spring when not under a load. Leaf springs are measured from center eye to center eye. I will also need to know the...

• How To Choose Correct Replacement 28-1/2" Long Leaf Springs for a Trailer
  In order to find the correct replacement leaf spring 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...

• 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.

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 #...
