Long hauls and rough roads can wear down a trailer’s suspension fast. This Dexter 7-leaf slipper spring with a hook end flexes to soak up bumps and jolts, keeping your trailer steady and level. Each of the seven leaves works together to absorb road shock and reduce bounce, cutting down on wear and tear while giving you a smoother ride. With a spring capacity of 4,000 lbs and an axle capacity of 8,000 lbs, it’s built to handle heavy loads without sagging.
A weak spring can cause uneven towing and extra stress on the frame. This one is made from sturdy steel, 2" wide with a 3/8" leaf thickness, so it holds up under constant use. The 1-5/16" eye gives you a secure mounting point for the front hanger, and the hook-style slipper end slides smoothly into the rear hanger or equalizer for solid support. It’s a tough, no-nonsense setup that stands up to mileage and heavy cargo.
Getting the right alignment matters for even tire wear and steady tracking. This spring measures 26-5/8" overall (26-7/8" from center of eye to end when unloaded), matching the geometry needed for 8,000-lb axle setups. The precision length and shape help keep your suspension in line so your trailer runs level and true over uneven ground.
Whether you’re replacing worn parts or building from scratch, this spring fits easily into common setups. It pairs with the 5/8" diameter bushing #DX77XR and the Dexter hanger kit #HAP-105-00 for a proper fit. Use existing welded hangers if you’re swapping old springs, or add a hanger kit for new builds. For best results, always replace both springs on the same axle to keep balance and alignment consistent.
To ensure proper axle alignment and suspension performance, leaf springs should always be replaced in pairs.

I reached out to the manufacturer and I had the bushing added to the site. It is part # DX77XR and can also be found in related parts.
