• 2,500 lb Axle Trailer Leaf Spring Recommendation
  As long as you stay under the capacity for the springs you are fine. They are designed to be safe and reliable up to their capacity so going with heavier duty springs doesn't really gain anything. It just might give you a harsher ride quality. We have 2,500 lb axle springs as part # SP-219275 which would work well for you. These are 25-1/8 inches long.

• Replacement Leaf Springs for Trailer with 2,500 lb Axles
  The most ideal leaf spring we have for you is the part # SP-219275 which is rated for a 2,500 lb axle. It's a little short for your application though at 25-1/8 inches. Ideally you'd have a spring just a little longer than 25-1/2 inches since that's distance between your hanger bolts. So what this means is that you'd need a new hanger kit too like with the part # APS4.

• Options for Replacing Double Eye Springs on 60 Year Old Boat Trailer
  In this case I would choose a new set of double eye springs and then weld new spring hangers accordingly. I have attached a link to our double eye springs for you. For example, you could go with the 3-Leaf Double-Eye Spring, # SP-219275, which has a 1,250 lb spring capacity (2,500 lb axle capacity). Since your boat trailer is 60 years old it is very unlikely that you are going to find parts that will work without any modifications and if you were to choose to switch to slipper springs,...

• Can a 4-Leaf Trailer Leaf Spring be Used in Place of a 3-Leaf Spring
  Yes, you can use 4-leaf springs in place of 3 leaf springs. The extra height of an additional leaf is minimal and won't really affect anything on the trailer. Provided that the springs used are replaced in pairs and not just one side of the trailer and they are the right length and capacity for the trailer you will be good to go.

• Double-Eye Leaf Spring for a Trailer Rated for 1 Metric Ton 2,200 Pounds
  Since a metric ton is approximately 2,200 pounds you will need to go with leaf springs that are rated for at least 1,100 pounds. I recommend spring # SP-219275 which is rated for 1,250 pounds. With one of these springs on each side of the trailer the capacity will be 2,500 pounds. I have included a link to a video review of this spring for you and a link to our help article on double-eye suspension.

• Would Switching to a Leaf Spring with a Lower Weight Capacity Improve Ride of Boat Trailer
  Swapping out your 3500 lb leaf springs for the 2500 lb springs would improve your ride, IF (and only if) the weight of the boat, trailer, motor, gasoline, cooler, tackle boxes, more coolers, fishing poles and other gear stowed on it will not exceed the 2500 lb capacity of the springs. If the capacity is exceeded, you will actually experience a rougher ride as the trailer will bottom out. What is your axle rated for?

• How to Pick Out Leaf Springs for a Venture Model VBT Trailer that has 26 inch Long Springs
  Dimensionally we have several double eye leaf springs that will work, but you will need to know the axle capacity of your trailer so that you pick out the correct rated spring. If you have 2,500 axles you would want part # SP-219275, 3,500 axles part # SP-220275, 4,800 lb axles part# SP-212275, 6,000 lb axles part # SP-111275.

• Can 2,000 lb Trailer Leaf Springs be Replaced with 2,500 lb Leaf Springs
  You certainly can go with a 2,500 lb rated axle leaf spring on a trailer that currently have 2,000 lb capacities. It would just give you a slightly stiffer suspension setup. You should note that doing this does not give you any additional weight capacity for your trailer. The weight capacity for a trailer is determined by several things like the axle capacity, brake capacity, coupler capacity etc. The part # SP219275 that you referenced would be a great 2,500 lb leaf spring. It measure...

• What is the Correct Distance Between the Spring Hangers When Using a SP-219275 Leaf Spring
  The distance of 25-3/4 inches would be the correct distance to have between the spring hangers. You have to consider that as the the leaf spring compresses from the weight of the trailer it will flatten out and the overall length of the spring will increase so that the shackle will face the right direction.

• How Can I Determine The Weight Capacity Of the Leaf Springs on a 1996 Mobile Scout RFK-30 5th Wheel
  To determine the capacity leaf springs you have on your 1996 Mobile Scout RFK-30 fifth-wheel trailer you should look on the frame of your trailer for a plate that will have the VIN number, there should also be a listing for the axle ratings too. You can also tell the weight capacity of the axle by measuring the diameter of the axle. A 3,500-lb. axle will have a diameter of 2-3/8 inches and a 6,000-lb. to 7,200-lb. axle will have a diameter of 3 inches. I am sending a link to an FAQ page...

• Can Trailer Leaf Springs Lose Their Weight Capacity Over Time
  Springs can wear out over time and lose ability to support the same amount of weight they once were capable of. It sounds like you are in need of a new set of springs on your trailer. You will need to determine what weight capacity springs you will need. The same plate that told you what tire size was recommended for the trailer should also have the axle capacity. The amount of springs doesn't necessarily indicate the capacity of the spring. If you need a 2,500 lb axle spring you would...

• Can Pop Up Trailer Have Slipper Springs Replaced with Double Eye Springs
  Yes, you can go from a slipper spring suspension setup on a trailer to a double eye setup. It would be a matter of picking out the correct rated springs and then replacing the hangers and you'd be set. Since you said it's a pop up camper most likely a 2,500 lb spring like part # SP-219275 would work well for you. If you need a different spring rating let me know and I'll see what would work best. Then for a hanger kit the part # APS1 would be a great option as well.

• Leaf Spring Recommendation for Boat Trailer with 4,425 lb Capacity and 26 inch Long Springs
  You are on the right track for picking out springs. You would want to split the total trailer capacity in two and then go with that number when picking out springs. Our springs are rated per axle though. The closest to that would be the part # SP-219275 which is a 2,500 lb axle spring that measures 25-1/8 inches in length. Springs tend to stretch over time so yours being older and 26 inches would match well with this.

  The drop that you will experience with the 3-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 2,500-lb Axles, # SP-219275, from a trailer at zero load to full load is going to be 1-1/2 inches.

You will also want to get the correct hanger kit for the leaf springs...

• Replacement 25-1/4 Inch Leaf Springs for Horse Trailer with Two 3,500 Pound Axles
  I still recommend matching the leaf spring rate weighting to that of the axles on your horse trailer, meaning you should install four 1,750 pound springs as replacements. For your trailer I recommend the 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring (the extra leaf is not a concern) part # SP-212275 for 3,500 pound axles. These double-eye springs measure 25-1/8 inches from eye to eye which is likely what your current set measured before being stretched out a bit over time. I have attached a couple short...

• Replacement Leaf Spring Recommendation for a 2008 Interstate Enclosed Trailer
  Yes, I would strongly recommend you replace all four at the same time. We always recommend they all get replaced at the same time to be safe. Since your trailer capacity is 7,000 lbs and your worn out springs are 26 inches long the correct replacement spring for you would be the Redline Spring part # SP-220275. Four of these will have 7,000 lbs of capacity and they are 25-1/4 inches long so they will match up perfectly for you. Springs tend to flatten out over time and get longer, so...

• Replacement Leaf Spring Recommendation for Trailer with 25-1/8 inch Springs and 2k Capacity
  Most likely the measurement is 25-1/8 inch as that is a common size. But in most cases we recommend measuring the spring with it off the trailer and typically there is a bit of stretch to old springs by around 1/2 inch or so. The spring you would want is the part # SP-219275 as it matches the capacity needed closely and it has a length of 25-1/8 inches like you have. When picking out leaf springs priority one is picking out the correct capacity and then finding a spring that is close...

• Trailer Leaf Spring Recommendations for a Boat Trailer with 1,900 Pound Boat
  The 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...
