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.

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. 424942

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! 84053

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. 807361

Great experience. After my order was placed, I was notified it would be arriving sooner than expected. It did just that.

- Replacement Slipper Style Leaf Spring for 1984 Tee Nee TrailerFor your 1984 Tee Nee trailer, the number of leaf springs is not the determining factor but rather the length and the capacity rating. 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...

- Need a 3-Leaf Slipper Spring Kit for my Boat Trailer with 2 Inch Square AxlesIn order to determine which 3-leaf slipper springs will fit, you will need to take a few measurements of the current springs on your boat trailer.

Compare your measurements to those to see if we have a match. 3-Leaf Slipper Springs for 1,500 lb Trailer Axles, # SP-178275 3-Leaf Slipper Springs for 3,000 lb Trailer Axles, # SP-039275 Although...

- Replacement Slipper Leaf Spring Recommendation for 1987 Shoreline Boat TrailerThe best option we have is the part # SP039275 that you referenced. 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.
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...

view full answer... - Trailer Leaf Spring Recommendations for a Boat Trailer with 1,900 Pound BoatThe leaf springs should be rated to match the axle on the trailer. Spring # SP-256275 is rated for 2,250 pounds per spring so it fits 4,500 pound axles. These springs would be overkill for a boat weighing up to 1,900 pounds and it would be a very stiff and jarring ride for your boat. Your trailer axle may have a capacity listed on it somewhere and if not then there should be some capacity information on a placard or sticker near the front of the trailer somewhere. Whatever the gross...
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.

This is a 30 inch long slipper spring with a 1.75 inch width as you stated. I recommend using the Spring-Eye Bolt with Locknut for Slipper Springs - 3-1/2" Long # 166079 with each spring. For your square axle mounting, I recommend the CE Smith U-Bolt Kit for Mounting...

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...

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...

In the majority of cases, items will need to be altered for an exact fit which I assume is what is going to need to be done on your trailer as well. We don't have a slipper spring that is 1-3/4" wide x 28" long (center of eye to end of spring) with a 2,500, 3,000, or 3,500 lb capacity. However, leaf springs will fatten out over time which means the leaf spring that was originally installed on the...

This axle will work as a replacement, though I do recommend verifying your current axle has the same 48" spring-center-to-spring-center length and 60" hub-face-to-hub-face length.

Although probably not the full 2 inch difference but enough that our 30 inch springs will work on your trailer.

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.

view full answer... - 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...
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.

This is a 3-leaf spring that measures 30 inches long and 1-3/4 inches wide. It is designed to be used for 2,900 lb trailers axles so it may be just a bit stiffer ride.

- 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.

If you are able to go up to the 4 leaf spring we have # SP-231275 which measures 24-5/8" center to center.
