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.
Double-eye leaf springs attach to hangers that are welded onto your trailer. One end of this spring will attach directly to the hanger with a suspension bolt. The other end will attach to shackle straps that are suspended from a hanger. These straps allow the spring to move and pivot so that it can better compensate for uneven pavement. If you have a tandem- or triple-axle trailer, the shackle straps will be attached to the equalizer that connects multiple springs.
To mount this spring, you will need hangers, shackle straps, and suspension bolts. If you are simply replacing a spring, you may still have hangers welded onto your trailer. You should, however, replace your shackle straps because they are usually the first component to wear out. You may choose to replace old suspension bolts as well. It is 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.

I had a broken spring on the road and had it replaced. I considered replacing only the other three. I decided to do all four to keep everything the same. I'm glad I did. I replaced the plastic bushings with the bronze ones and grease-able bolts that came with the pivot kit I bought. There were only pieces of the original bushes left in the old springs. I had not realized how over the years my trailer had sagged. Now it's like new again. NOTE** Make sure to press the bushings in, a bench vice works fine, and do not use a hammer. They are bronze, not steel, and can be ruined. ( Just some sound advice from a 68 year old professional).

A good price and perfect replacement for my 2015 Puma Toyhauler. I would suggest upgrading the shackle hardware though. Everything on my camper's suspension is heavily worn and not the highest of quality. And if you're going to replace one, replace them all....

The boat trailer leaf springs arrived earlier than expected and they fit perfectly. Etrailer was the only place that had this spring in stock. I tried 3 springs locally that didn’t fit. After a lot of hard work I ordered the correct size and got them on. After four springs, on and off, I’m a pro now!!! Thanhs so much for having the correct size and being very nice when I called to verify the size! Pull trailer after the installation, and I couldn’t be happier!

They do exactly what they are supposed to do....what more needs to be said? I bought these because the old springs on my travel trailer had flattened out to the point that my tires would hit the trailer body in the top of the wheel well when flexing, such as when pulling into driveways. The new springs gave me the clearance to eliminate that problem, and are a little heavier duty than the old ones as well. Installation was very straightforward, and not too difficult for this 70-year-old guy, requiring just basic hand tools.

Very nice quality heavy duty springs. They’re on a custom built trailer, so I was relying on the accuracy of the published specs to select a replacement set of springs. The spec data was right on as these bolted up directly with no issue.

Using etrailer.com has been a great experience. They have a huge selection of trailer parts and make it very easy to find the right parts. The packaging seems to have gotten alot better. Very sturdy box. It arrived within a few days from ordering which was a huge plus. I was able to get the job done sooner than planned. That kind of experience will keep me loyal to etrailer for any future trailer parts needs. Thanks guys and gals. Keep up the great work. As far as the parts, eveything was heavier duty than factory. Since I measured the old parts I was able to find the exact replacements for those parts. The job went so smoothly without any issues. These springs raised the trailer height without any load on the axles 1.5 inches. It was definitely time for new springs and hardware. Im kind of glad the one spring broke.

I called customer service and worked with William B. He was patient and listened while i described problem and sent pictures to him for review and advice. He took time to search forums and find out specifications of the boat trailer which happened to be quite old. Helped solve a challenging problem and called me back quickly when had some questions about my order. he also sent me an email about the status of the order and let me know when it shipped. I was very impressed with the customer service. I ordered several size options and etrailer was great to work with. The trailer was for a boat MasterCraft Prostar 205 from '90s and wasn't able to measure the springs correctly because it was 3 hours drive away. Thanks for great service.

I replaced 3500lb axle springs with these 4000lb axle springs. Super easy. Good fits all the way around. Also suspension upgrade from Moryde, new Goodyear endurance on steel. Correct parts every time, faster delivery than anywhere. Too easy. Dont waste your time going anywhere else.

1-year review: Perfect fit. I thought the eye bushings looked a little chincy but they have held up well. The spring rate is perfect. Still at the exact sag as the day I put them on. The finish was fair to good but better than what I paid for. Im happy with how well they fit and have performed. I would buy again.

- Replacement Leaf Springs for a Vintage CamperWith how long your current springs are, you will have replace the hangers for the springs to attach to. That being said, this does happen sometimes and it is not the end of the world. The Universal Group 4-Leaf Double Eye Spring # SP-051275 will have a length of 26 inches from eye to eye, so you will also need the # APS2 hanger kit. This will cover both hangers on both sides, so you will need no other parts to get this system up and running.

- Replacement 26 Inch Double Eye Leaf Springs and Hardware 26 inch leaf springs have different capacities and aren't based on the number of leaves directly so it is better to determine the axle capacity and then get the 26 inch springs appropriate for that capacity regardless of the number of leaves. The weight capacity numbers represented on the title of your 26 inch options are the axle capacity number (or greater) and the springs will be 1/2 that capacity so when one is on each side the axle the capacity is that larger number. Springs rated...

Starting with the leaf springs, you will need to make sure that the tires on the side of the trailer you are working on is off the ground with the trailer supported by the frame as the leaf springs will stretch when the tires are on the ground and weight is applied.

They will work great on a 3,500 lb axle offering a bit more support than the original equipment. The 1/4" difference won't be an issue as the springs were measured loaded and will shorten without a load.
view full answer... - Should I Switch To Heavier Rated Leaf Springs For My Rock Climbing Trailer? I recommend staying with the 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 3,500-lb # SP-212275. This will ensure that you do not have to change other parts of your suspension system and the trailer has the correct ride quality. The 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 4,000-lb # SP-051275 may have issues with contacting parts of the frame since the springs are 3/4-7/8" longer. To correct this your spring hangers would need to be moved. The 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 6,000-lb # SP-221275 would cause you...
view full answer... - Measuring for Replacement Trailer Leaf SpringsThe best way to measure you springs is with them removed from the trailer. And it's likely they've flattened over time and weren't originally 26 inches. They may have stretched up to 3/4 of an inch. The length and weight capacity is more important than the number of leaves. As long as the replacement fits and is rated properly it will work for you. I've linked an article on trailer suspension you may also find helpful.

- Replacement Double-Eye Leaf Springs Needed for a 2002 DHM TrailerSince leaf springs will stretch over time I recommend going with the 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring # SP-051275 which is 26" long from center eye to center eye and is rated for a 4,000 lb trailer axle.

- How to Determine Correct Leaf Springs for Trailer AxlesReally the best way to determine the correct leaf spring for your axle is by measuring the length from the center of one spring eye to the center of the other eye if you have double-eye springs, or from the center of the spring eye to the end of the spring if you have slipper springs. Additionally, an accurate length for a leaf spring can only be measured with the trailer unloaded and on jacks. I have added a link to help articles on both double-eye leaf spring and slipper spring suspension...

This is a 3,500 lb axle spring that measures 25-1/8 inches in length. Since old springs stretch out over time this spring would be exactly what you need when you consider your current spring was around 1/2 an inch shorter when new.

Having leaf springs rated slightly higher is normal because you will be limited in capacity by the weakest component on your trailer and normally you want that to be your axle. These springs will not be too strong for that axle as to cause too firm a ride.

- Can Bushing of Leaf Spring # SP-051275 be Replaced for Use with 1/2 inch BoltYou could swap out the bushings of the leaf spring # SP-051275 with the part # TRBU11506 and it would have correct inner diameter for a 1/2 inch bolt.

Springs can flatten out and become as much as a 3/4-inch longer, measured eye to eye, than when they were brand new. So the correct replacement spring for your suspension might measure shorter than the worn spring you removed. That said, we do have several 26-inch leaf spring for various axle ratings from 2000- to 6000-lbs.

Going with a 25-1/4 inch spring like you mentioned would be great. Since your springs are 3 inch in diameter that would indicate that most likely you have a 5,200 lb axle as that's a very common rating for that size. For a 25-1/4 inch length spring we have the part # SP-218275 which has a 5,000 lb capacity. # SP-220275 which has a 4,000 lb capacity, and # SP-115275 which has a 6,000 lb capacity.

Springs tend to stretch a little bit over time so your old ones measuring 26-1/4 inches would be ideal for this spring. If your equalizers and shackles are in good condition still you wouldn't need to replace them. If so email me the dimensions of them and I will see what we have that would work well.

You do want to keep in mind that the ride may be a bit stiffer since you are upgrading your springs to a higher capacity. Like you mention upgrading the springs will not give you a higher weight capacity because the axle is still rated for 3500 lbs.

There is no reason to replace the axle on your trailer with a higher-rated unit so that it matches the springs.

You should note that old springs typically stretch out around 1/4-1/2 inch as they flatten over time.
