USA-made leaf spring provides an attachment point for your trailer's axle. Spring flexes to resist shock while ensuring a smooth ride. Includes bushings with 9/16" inner diameter.

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.
Great people to work with
Great service, fast shipping, excellent value
I highly recommend etrailer for their competitive prices, excellent service, and speedy delivery.
Eyes are out of round and the brass bushings deform when pressed in making the wet bolts hard to install through bushing. The bushings will probably wear out prematurely.
Purchased these 5 leaf springs to replace original set (4 leaf) on my 20 year old fifth wheel toy hauler. I went with 5 leaf because I tend to load it a bit heavy so I’m looking for support not to increase payload. Fit and finish are great plus I like the fact they are painted. Besides price I also chose these because they are apparently made in America (doesn’t say so on the springs) hence the 4stars. On my test drive after installing them I can feel stability has improved and trailer not so “hoppy”. I’ve made a few purchases from Etrailer and they never disappoint great value, fast shipping and communication!!
I purchased these because new bronze bushings were fitting very loose in my existing springs. When I removed the plastic bushings installed in the springs I found the same loose fit despite there only being about .010” difference in bushing OD. It appeared that the paint or other black substance was all that held the bushings in. Shim stock was used to take up gap with the bronze bushings.
