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.

Double-eye leaf spring acts as part of a trailer's suspension system by providing an attachment point for a 3,500-lb axle. Spring flexes to resist shock and also ensures a smooth ride. Includes bushings with 9/16" inner diameter.These parts were for a 1977 Citation Travel trailer frame that someone had cut the springs off because the electric brake drums were to tight to roll and quite rusty so adjustment was not practical in the field.The springs and assembly pieces arrived promptly. The installation was completed in one hour. All parts fit exactly as they should. The goal is to make a storage trailer unit 8 X 18 feet.
Upgrading the suspension on my 2006 Fleetwood Pioneer 250FQ travel trailer.
Everything went together flawlessly.
Thanks eTrailer for excellent customer service! Paula S. was very helpful!
Allo tanks for fast delivery I’m appreciate your good service and esy tracking and I’m received 2 good parts
Good quality replacement for the money. Spring is ruggedly designed. Fit the trailer frame as measured.
Theses springs were exact replacements for my 20 year old Mallard that had suffered a broken spring. Tremendous value, I bought all 4 springs with replacement greasable bolts and new bushings for less than a local rv shop wanted for just one spring. My feeling was that if one spring had let go what other springs had leaf cracks as well? With this price, replacing all 4 was a no-brainer.
I haven't installed them yet because of the weather. When I do I will take pictures and add them to my review.
Easy install, perfect fit.
Fast delivery easy install. Made my rv level and smooth riding
Excellent selection, price and customer service
Was all there, packaged well great to find parts like this
This is my 3rd item ordered from etrailer, and I will be back when necessary! The customer service is great and the products have all worked very well. I was even offered earlier shipment for being a repeat customer! That was a nice surprise
The replacement trailer spring set was out of stock but Michelle watched for it with care and kept me informed. She let me know when it came in, shipped it quickly and made sure I had all the nuts and bolts needed to replace my broken springs. Have ordered from etrailer in the past and the quality and price can't be beat.
From ordering to installation and use , it's been a pleasure doing business with e trailer. They make sure I have the correct part even the part was quality.
They look like really solid leaf springs they got hear at a decent time. But I can't use them cause I ordered them to smale. I needed 33 1/2 not 23 1/8 and wrong size bolt eye mine was 1/2 and width was not 2 inch but I was just going to get spacers
I have had these for about a year on my dual axle travel trailer. Trailer weight is usually around 6000 lbs when towing it. I camp out in the middle of nowhere and go over some "roads" most wouldn't want to take. These springs have not had any problems so far.
This product was just what was needed to rejuvenate my old trailer. It rides (firmly) like new again. Easy to install with the trailer on its side.
Working like a champ!
Fits /matches exactly what I needed from an older Tandem axle Terry 5th wheel. Hard to find, but etrailer had it no problem.
Worked very well on a homemade trailer I had purchased that they used a "trailer house" axle and single spring set up that was not providing any spring action at all. I should of also ordered shackle bolts with the springs. Old ones were rusted terribly and were a bear to get off. Bought new shackle bolts locally to replace. Trailer rides much more smoothly now. Thank-you. Wish I would of taken before and after pictures but I forgot to do that. I highly recommend etrailer for your selection, reasonable pricing and fast shipping. Thank-you!
I was impressed with the fast service. They have a wide selection of parts that you can't find on other sites.
I just got them installed so I will tell you after I get back to Massachusetts. About 1200 miles from Nashville Tennessee.
I appreciate the super fast delivery! Thank you
The springs I replaced in the older 36ft fifth wheel camper we had arrived quickly and fit perfect at an excellent price. We camped the rest of the season and sold the camper to some people out of state and it pulled great with not a problem home for them as well. Will definitely be were I order my trailer parts from in the future.
One of the springs on an older 29ft travel trailer broke so I replaced all 4. It has been over a year now and they are holding up great. Happy camper!
Springs were purchased to convert a dollie to a sprung trailer. They were easy to install and looks like they'll do just fine. Delivery was right on time and all went together a-okay. Good people to do business with.
These springs have performed great. Perfect it and keep my tandem axle trailer towing straight and true. Trailer tires are wearing perfect.
I have peace of mind knowing spring issues are solved and I can tow with confidence.
Thanks for great products!
