Specs:
Leaf springs, as you probably know, make up an important part of your trailer's suspension. Their main purpose is to absorb road shock as you travel, as well as allow your axle(s) to move independently of the rest of the trailer.
To mount this leaf spring, you'll need hangers welded onto your trailer frame - which you probably already have in place - as well as shackle straps and a suspension bolt. It's a good idea to replace your existing straps and bolt while you're under there working on things because they tend to wear out quickly. One thing that could help keep them from wearing out too fast would be upgrading to galvanized or zinc-plated hardware. Doing so will boost the corrosion resistance and, therefore, the longevity of your trailer.
We also always recommend replacing both of your springs at the same time because it's not unusual for leaf springs to sag and elongate over time. If you replace just the one, there's a good chance that it won't match your existing spring on the opposite side of your trailer, and that can mess up your alignment.

Hi everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a real quick look at this 4 Leaf Double Eye Spring for your 2000 pound trailer axle. Now this double eye leaf spring acts as part of your trailer suspension system by giving you an attachment point for a 2000 pound axle. It is made of sturdy steel and is designed to flex to absorb road shock and give you a smooth ride. It's gonna help reduce wear and tear on your trailer. This is going to ensure a level ride on bumpy and uneven surfaces.
Now, double eye leaf springs attached to hangers that are welded onto your trailer. One end of the spring will attach directly to the hangar with the suspension bolt, and the other end will attach to shackle straps that are suspended from a hanger. And those straps are going to allow the spring to move and pivot so that it can better compensate for uneven pavement. Now if you have a tandem or a triple axle trailer, the shackle straps will be attached to the equalizer that connects multiple springs. If you are in need of hangers, suspension bolts, or equalizers, you can find all of that here at etrailer.com.
In the eyes on each end here are pre-installed nylon bushings. The eye diameter with the bushing is 9/16", without the bushing, it's 11/16". So again, this is a four leaf spring with a leaf thickness of a quarter of an inch, and it has a spring capacity by itself of 1000 pounds. So when you combine it with another spring, that's where you're gonna get your 2000 pound capacity for that trailer axle. The length from center to spring to center of eye, is gonna be right at 26 inches.
The spring width is 1-3/4". Now additional dimensions with the diagram are available on this product page if there's some other measurements that you're looking for. And of course, to ensure proper axle alignment and suspension performance, leaf spring should always be replaced in pairs. If you do decide to pick this and maybe more than just this one up, we would love to hear back from you regarding your experience with getting this installed and using it on your trailer. And you can share your experiences with us by either leaving our comment on this product page or write a review on this product page.
And with the review, you can also share your photos as well, showing us this in action on your trailer. Well, that's gonna wrap up our look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy, thank you for joining me.
