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.

Today, we're going to take a look at the five leaf slipper spring for ten thousand pound trailer axles. Now this is a strong, durable steel construction. It is designed to flex to absorb road shock providing nice smooth ride. Helps reduce wear and tear on your trailer, and it will ensure a level ride on bumpy and uneven surfaces. Mounts to the trailer frame with hangers or a hanger kit, which we do sell separately, and they're usually listed on this product page as a related product. If you'll notice, on the eye end it does include the bronze bushing. A few specs on this, the spring capacity is five thousand pounds, so when this is used with a spring on the other side of the axle, it will meet your axle capacity of ten thousand pounds.
Does have a number of five leaves, one, two, three, four, five. Now the spring length, which is measured from the center of the eye to then end of the spring. Put a ruler on that, center, to very end is thirty and a half inches in the length. Now the width, let me just move this so we can see it better. The width on the spring is right at two and a half inches wide.
The eye diameter, which is the inside measurement in there, is three quarters of an inch, and this part is for quantity of one spring. One last note I do want to mention is that to ensure proper axle alignment and suspension performance, these leaf springs should always be replaced in pairs. That should do it for the review on the five leave slipper spring for ten thousand pound trailer axles.

It fit perfectly.
the parts were easy to install. seemed to do a good job. they have lasted about a year and its about time to rebuild again. i would have thought they would last more than a year but then considering my trailer is loaded 6 days a week and my gross weight is just alittle over 46000. i will be ordering more parts again soon
Very knowledgeable staff they assisted me on figuring out the correct part I needed. Installation went flawlessly. Thanks again.
