• What Are the Torque Specs for Trailer Suspension Parts

• Leaf Spring Recommendation for Trailer with 5,200 lb Axles
  Your best option would be to go with the 5,300 lb leaf springs as ideally you match the capacity exactly but if you can't then you'd go for next capacity higher. This ensures you aren't limiting the weight capacity of the trailer by the suspension and you still get soft enough suspension that it does cushion the ride. So for that we have the # SP-222275 which has a 5,300 lb capacity and measures 24-7/8 inches in length from spring eye to spring eye.

• Replacement Leaf Springs for 2012 Keystone Sydney Edition 340FBH
  Since you pulled your old one out and found it to be 24-7/8 inches the correct replacement spring would be the part # SP-222275 which is 24-7/8 inches long and has a 5,300 lb axle capacity. Leaf springs tend to stretch slightly as they wear out since they flatten slightly which is why new springs will be slightly shorter than old ones.

• Upgrading Dexter Double-Eye Spring 072-020-00
  In order to replace the leaf springs on a trailer you'll need to choose ones that have the same unloaded length from eye to eye. If you go with a set slightly longer or shorter you'd then need to swap out the shackle straps as well to help compensate for the difference in length. The closest we have to 24" is the 6-Leaf Double-Eye Spring part # SP-222275 which will be an upgrade from the Dexter Double-Eye Spring 072-020-00. However, since it's slightly longer you'd want to use a slightly...

• Recommended Leaf Spring To Replace Broke Spring On Tandem Axle Trailer W/ 5000lb Axles

• Replacement 7-Leaf Double Eye Spring 25-1/8" Long
  In most cases, leaf springs will stretch out over time as they wear so when you look for a replacement it will be shorter than the existing. It's also important to note that the number of leaves isn't a great guide for capacity since these leaves can have different thicknesses. The best match we offer with what was provided is the 6-Leaf Double-Eye Spring part # SP-222275. I would verify the axle capacity does not exceed 5,200 lbs but aside from that you should be good to go.

• Will a 5-1/2 Long U-Bolt Work With 6 Leaf Springs On a 3,500 Lb Axle
  The 2-3/8" Round Trailer U-Bolts part # SP01-040 should work with a 6 leaf spring stack. If you add the diameter of the axle which is 2-3/8" with the thickness of the leaf spring stack which is 2-1/4" and the thickness of the tie-down plate which is 3/16" this should still leave you room for enough thread engagement on nuts. The 5-1/2" long u-bolt is the longest we offer for a 2-3/8" diameter axle.

• Will the 6-Leaf 24-7/8" Long Leaf Springs Be Able To Replace 25-1/4" Leaf Springs
  As leaf springs wear out over time, they will elongate. Therefore, the correct replacements will likely be shorter in overall length. If you measured 25-1/4" unloaded then a 24-7/8" long leaf spring would likely work well. Therefore, the part # SP-222275 you're looking at will be a direct drop-in replacement. You will be able to reuse your existing shackle straps and equalizers.

• Replacement Leaf Springs and Spring Hangers for 2010 EZ Loader Trailer
  I checked the specs for several model years of the EZ Loader trailer models like your TAL102B 20-23 5200 but no detail is provided for the leaf springs other than that they are rated for the trailer's 5200-lb axle. To know the actual length of your existing leaf springs you really need to pull one out of the trailer's suspension. When the spring is installed on the trailer it is much tougher to get its exact length. We have two spring options that could work for your 5.2K axle. Part...

• Replacement Leaf Springs for 1998 Coachmen Catalina 364 TBS
  Based on the weight capacity you mentioned seeing on the spec sheet the best option for a leaf spring would be the part # SP-222275 which is for a 5,300 lb axle but is a bit shorter at 24-7/8 inches which is more common on the higher capacity axles. So then for a U-bolt kit you'd want the part # CE23003 which fits the 3 inch round axles which are the size of 5,200 lb axles. It will probably make the most sense to go with a new hanger kit too since the leaf springs are a shorter and you'd...
