• How to Determine Correct Slipper Spring Replacement for 1,500 lb Axle
  What happens to slipper springs is that over time they elongate and flatten out, particularly if your springs are considerably older. The most important measurement you mentioned was the 26 inches from the center of the spring eye to the end of the spring. Based on that the closest slipper spring we have that could work is the 3-Leaf Slipper Spring w/ Radius End for 1,500-lb Trailer Axles - 24-5/8" Long # SP-178275, which would work if you had a tandem-axle trailer. There are no slipper...

• Replacement 1-1/2 Inch Square Axle for a Boat Trailer
  I do have some options for you but none of our trailer axles match the exact measurements that you provided. Therefore, the best option we have for you would be to switch to an axle less system like the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System part # A20RS545 which will replace the axle, leaf springs, and leaf spring hangers in light of a rubber suspension system that works to absorb road shock and support the trailers load better than standard leaf springs. The other option you...

• Recommendation For Replacing Leaf Springs And Hangers

• Recommended 26 Inch Double Eye Springs for 1-1/2 Inch Square Axle Compatibility
  The 6-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 6,000-lb Trailer Axles - 26" Long # SP-053275 are way to strong a spring for your 1-1/2 inch square axle. Typically 1-1/2 inch square axles have a capacity between 1000 and 2000 lbs. I recommend instead using the 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 2,000-lb Trailer Axles - 26" Long # SP-124275 which will match the standard capacity without making the ride too firm adding to bounce. Don't worry about the number or leaves but rather the capacity rating. I...

• Replacement Axle Tube for a Habor Freight Model 90154 Trailer
  In order to determine if we have a new axle beam that will work for you, we would first need to do some measuring. The measurements that will need to be taken are from the center of each spring seat on the axle you have now as well as the distance between the two hub faces. I have attached a photo of this for you as well. The most important measurement that you need to verify is the hub face as the spring seats can be moved. For example, if you have a hub face of 60" you can then use...

• Switching From Slipper Springs to Double-Eye on a Single 2K Axle Trailer with Square Axle
  To switch to double-eye spring suspension I recommend getting parts individually since the u-bolts cannot be swapped out of kits. The spring in the kit is # SP-169275. We have a few different u-bolt kits for square axles including # CE23102 for 1-1/2 inch square axles. For a 1-3/4 inch square axles you can use u-bolt # 175130 and plate # 116308. And for 2 inch square axles we have # CE23103. You will also need a new hanger kit since double-eye springs use different hangers than slipper...

• Are Trailer Spring Seats Needed for Square Axles with Leaf Springs?
  Square axles normally don't have spring seats like a round axle but do have a hole for the leaf spring bolt to fit into. Take a look at the CE SMITH # CE33201GA-HUB for a visual. The U-bolt mounting kits will have a hole in the center for the other side of that leaf spring bolt to keep everything in line. If you have a 1-1/2 inch square axle use # CE23102. If you have a 2 inch axle use # CE23103.

• Compatibility of 3500 lb Double Eye Springs on 1-1/2 Inch Square Trailer Axle
  The 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 3,500-lb Trailer Axles - 25-1/8" Long # SP-212275 would be a little firm if you are hauling the trailer without a snowmobile, but with one or more it would be fine. The additional weight capacity of the spring will not enhance your trailer's overall capacity. This is because you would still be limited by the weakest part of the system very likely your axle. I recommend using the CE Smith U-Bolt Kit for Mounting 1-1/2" Square Trailer Axles - 3-3/8" Long...
