Note: To ensure proper axle alignment and suspension performance, leaf springs should always be replaced in pairs.
Leaf springs are an integral part of your trailer suspension system. The leaf springs provide the attachment points for your trailer's axle, suspending it from the frame of your trailer. Each spring flexes to absorb road shock as you travel, allowing the axle to move somewhat independently of the rest of your trailer. This helps to reduce wear and tear on the trailer and also ensures a smooth ride.
Slipper leaf springs attach to hangers that are welded onto your trailer. The eye of this spring will attach to the front hanger with a suspension bolt. The flat slipper end of the spring will slide into the rear hanger. If you have a tandem- or triple-axle trailer, the slipper end will slide into the equalizer that connects multiple springs. The shape of the slipper end of a leaf spring may vary slightly due to differences among trailer manufacturers. Because of this, it's important to check your leaf spring's slipper end before purchasing a replacement spring.
To mount this spring, you will need hangers, a suspension bolt, and possibly a spring keeper bolt, depending on the design of the rear hanger. If you are simply replacing a spring, you may still have hangers welded onto your trailer, but it would be wise to replace the bolts as they can experience wear. It is also recommended that you replace the other leaf spring in your setup at the same time. Because springs can sag and elongate as they wear, this new spring may not exactly match the old one, and the alignment of your trailer could be affected.
If you are fabricating a trailer, you will need to purchase a hanger kit for installation. To determine the type of hanger kit that you need, you must know the specific type of leaf spring that you have, as well as your axle capacity. Depending on the hanger kits used with them, springs can be configured to work for single-, tandem- or triple-axle applications. Hangers and other suspension components can also be purchased separately if there isn't a complete kit that works for your setup.

Great Experience!
When I noticed that the leaf springs on my 44 year old boat
trailer had cracked I thought I would never find replacements.
I fully expected to have to have something custom built.
I was amazed when I found the fantastic diagrams/descriptions
dimensions for replacement springs on etrailer.com
The phone support person was wonderfully helpful in confirming
if items were in stock and ready to ship. The replacement springs
arrived on time and everything bolted up perfectly!
Thanks for such a great site!
by: Foz06/22/2018
The 30" three leaf, slipper style spring was an exact replacement for the broken spring in this old boat trailer. Admittedly, the original design of the trailer suspension is a bit awkward, but the replacement spring fit right where it was supposed to.
Would recommend.

Fit perfectly
Upgraded with this set of springs
Quick shipping

They fit perfect it would have been cool if they included new hardware i mean it just 2 nut and 2 bolts.

Really like new springs! Got them sooner than expected and at a great price. I will recommend e-trailer to all of my friends!

Super service getting all the right parts. I received the parts in just two days it took about one hour to change both springs .everything fit grate back on the road.thanks
by: Charlie Yarnall11/01/2013
The springs were an excellent fit for my older Chrysler boat trailer. The U bolts I ordered were a little too large but that's ok.....They were returnable but I'll keep them for another trailer project in the future. I would recommend dealing with etrailer. Very helpful on the phone and during the order processing. I had the package within a few days.
Comments
The trailer springs I ordered are working fine. I have no complaints or issues at all. I highly recommend etrailer for anyone in need of any type of trailer parts.

These new leafs raised the suspension 2" as my old ones were really worn out. I was able to change them both within an hour as I had the use of a forklift to hold up the trailer, and impacts to loosen the old bolts. When/if I need them again, I would buy these.
by: Steve H.08/25/2017
Service was excellent. Ordered leaf springs on Monday and they were delivered two days later. My shipping was upgraded at no additional cost to me. I haven't installed the springs yet but they look great and they should fill my needs. I will order from you for any future needs.
by: Dan 02/03/2020
These springs were perfect for replacing the old worn out springs. It was a very easy swap to do. The trailer now tows very well.
Comments
these replacements are better than what the trailer had. i am very pleased.
Dan - 02/04/2021by: Matthew06/03/2020
Spring was good, fit as expected. I wish the paint finish was a little more durable but we're talking about a trailer leaf spring here, that's just the way they are. I had to flip the center pin for my application which was easy enough.
The most disappointing thing is the way these were packed, like everything else I have ever ordered from etrailer they were literally just thrown in a giant box with a single sheet of packing paper. The box was of course destroyed by the heavy springs bouncing around in the box. You can tell that at some point at least one spring fell out of the box and the shipping company had to put it back in.
by: Cape Jim08/10/2017
Wth rusted out leaf springs on my trailer but with zero experience replacing them, I contacted etrailer and Shawn was very helpful in selecting the right parts and taking me through the process. She was patient in terms of helping me take the right measurements and suggesting the bolts and pieces I needed to do the job right.
Everything came well packaged and complete two days later. An hour after that the springs were in my trailer and now has a boat sitting on it.
Thanks!

I made a dumb mistake by ordering the wrong slip springs from etrailer. The part numbers for the springs I wanted and the ones I received were very similar, and I must have been distracted by my kids during the ordering process. I called etrailer and they were very professional on the phone and quickly got the correct springs shipped. Their service is good and I will shop with them again.
Thanks,

Great service and product on the slipper leaf springs. My trailusage and old 1977 dilly trailer everything fit perfect ,Thanks for the support y'all have at etrailers.

So far I have purchased a set of leaf springs and fenders from E-Trailer.com both are made with high quality materials, on my door step in a few days and the price was un-beatable anywhere.
Thanks E-Trailer
by: Joe a.12/03/2016
The leaf springs that I got work great. They are rated a little bit higher payload but seem to work just fine and the trailer does not have any additional bounce. They were very easy to put on and the job took about 2 hours.
by: Jacob L01/13/2021
The leaf springs were an easy fix even on a very cold wintery Saturday afternoon. The fit was perfect and shipping was quick.

- Is Leaf Spring Capacity Rating for One Side or TwoThe weight rating on the # SP-039275 spring would be 1500lbs per side, with a rating of 3000lbs for both sides. I have included some more information on installing slipper springs, if needed.

view full answer... - How Much of a Slipper Spring Should be Sticking Out Past the Rear HangerThe flat end of a slipper spring should stick far enough through a hanger to allow for the full travel of the suspension without the spring coming out of the hanger. When you have no load on the spring and especially if the frame is currently upside down then the end of the spring will likely be very close to the hanger. Once it is right side up the spring will compress some and push more of the flat end through the hanger. With spring # SP-039275 the hanger spacing should be 28 inches...

It's going to be a little longer and a little stiffer than you need most likely since it's for a 2,900 lb axle, but it will work and get the job done.

They are the 3-Leaf Slipper Spring w/ Flat End for 2,900-lb Trailer Axles - 30" Long, # SP-039275. These have a spring capacity of 1,450 lbs and an axle capacity 2900 lbs.
view full answer... - How to Pick Out 10,000 lb Axle Leaf Springs for TrailerTo pick out the correct length leaf spring requires you to measure the length of the spring from eye center to eye center without any weight on the trailer. Since you most likely have slipper springs since your axles are 10,000 lb you'd need to measure from eye center to the bend on the opposite end where the spring would fit in the hanger. Keep in mind that old springs will stretch a bit over time. I attached a link to a page that has all of the 10,000 lb axle leaf springs we offer for...

First you will need to measure the slipper springs on your 1982 TeeNee trailer from the center of the spring eye to the end of the spring as shown in the included diagram, and the width of the spring. You will need to jack up the trailer and secure it with jacks stands to take the weight off of the spring before measuring as if there is weight on the spring it will stretch and give you an inaccurate measurement.

- Will 3-Leaf Slipper Spring for 2,900-lb Trailer Axles Work On a 2,200 Lb AxleThe 3-Leaf Slipper Spring w/ Flat End part # SP-039275 is rated for up to 2,900 lbs when used as a pair so these will work great on a 2,200 lb axle. They will be a bit stiffer than the factory leaf springs but this also means there will be more support and they won't wear out as quick. In regards to leaf springs, you can go a bit overrated but you wouldn't want to go with an underrated option.
view full answer... - Replacement Trailer Leaf Springs for Toy Hauler with GVW of 18,000 lbsFor a set of 3,000 lb leaf springs that would fit your trailer you would want the part # SP-115275. These are 25-1/4 inches from eye center to center which should work well as a replacement for your 26 inch long ones. Springs tend to flatten out over time which causes their overall length to increase slightly. I attached a review video for you to check out as well.

Based on your measurements you provided about your 2011 Triton LTWC11 2,500 pound jet ski trailer, I think your best option would be slipper springs by Redline # SP-039275. This leaf slipper spring is 30-1/4 inches long and 1-3/4 inches wide. It's designed to work on trailers with 3,000...
view full answer... - How to Determine Load Capacity of Trailer SuspensionWe do not recommend that you exceed your trailer's carrying capacity. You will be limited to your axle's rating. The 3-leaf slipper springs, # SP-039275, that we offer measure 24-1/4" long x 1-3/4" wide. These springs are designed for use on trailers with 1,500-lb axles. If your axles are only rated for 1,500 lbs you would be limited to that. I have included a link to our 2000 lbs axles and a FAQ article on trailer suspension systems for you to check out.

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...

However, since that isn't a possibility for you, then measuring the tube is the best option, just know that it isn't a 100 percent guarantee. Here are the general ratings: - 1,000 lb – 2,000 lb Axles: 1-1/2 inch - 1-3/4 inch diameter - 3,500 lb Axles: 2-3/8 inch diameter -...

It does have a flat end though and not a radiused end but that shouldn't be an issue.

Your 32 inch springs were likely a little shorter than that originally and have flattened over time. Although probably not the full 2 inch difference but enough that our 30 inch springs will work on your trailer.

- Selecting Replacement Slipper SpringsThe linked page will display all slipper type leaf springs we offer. You will want to confirm your axle weight capacity as well as the spring width and length as you select replacements. You will also want to replace both springs on each axle to ensure the trailer tracks properly. We offer several slipper springs in a 30-1/2-inch length including the 5-leaf spring # SP-252275 for 10K axles and the 7-leaf # SP-270275 for 15K axles. You may care to refer to the linked article on trailer...
view full answer... - Slipper Spring for Older Boat Trailer that is 30 inches in LengthWe have a few slipper springs that are 30 inches from spring eye to hook, but you did say eye to eye which would imply a double eye spring. Since 30 inch double eye springs are very uncommon I'll assume you do have a slipper. So for a 1,800 lb capacity spring you'd want the part # SP-038275 or for a 2,900 lb spring you'd want the # SP-039275.

The 3-Leaf Slipper Spring w/ Flat End for 2,900-lb Trailer Axles - 30" Long # SP-039275 is a great replacement option based on your photo as long as your axle capacity is 2900 lbs because each spring is rated for 1450 lbs. If you have a 3,500 lb axle then instead you would want # SP-040275 because it is a higher weight rated spring. If the trailer axle...

- Do you have a spring that is 24 center to center and a reverse curve and closed eye?We do not have a spring that fits that specifically. In our 3 leaf springs we have two that are closed eye on one end and reverse curve on the other. The # SP-039275 measures 30" center to end of spring and the # SP-178275 measures 22-3/4" center to center. If you are able to go up to the 4 leaf spring we have # SP-231275 which measures 24-5/8" center to center. If you want to go the 4 spring route the added capacity of the 4 leaf would bring you up to 2,500 lbs per spring which will...

It wouldn't hurt to clean them off with WD-40 or a rust remover to make sure they don't get worse. If you did want to replace them though, you could go with something like the Universal Group # SP-040275. As I couldn't tell 100% how wide the leaf spring is, this is a 1 3/4 wide one. It is also much longer with the overall length of 30 inches, so the rear hanger would most likely need to be...

- Replacement Slipper Springs for a 2,100 lb TrailerThe most important factor in picking out a new leaf spring for a trailer is to match the capacity needed. Going with a 3,500 lb spring for a 2,100 lb trailer is going to give you a very harsh ride. For a spring similar to the # WIG4 that is better rated for your trailer we have the # SP-039275 which is for a 3,000 lb axle or part # SP-038275 for a 2,000 lb axle. If you need all 2,100 lbs of your trailer's capacity you would have to go with the # SP-039275. If you have a 2 inch square...

Considering the height of your axle and the amount of clearance you currently have from the axle to the frame of your trailer you wouldn't have enough room to put your axle above the leaf spring. You would barely have a couple of inches of suspension travel. For U-bolts you would want the part # SP01-160 and then for plates you would want the # 117594.
