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 look together at the 6 Leaf Double Eye Spring for your 6,000 pound trailer axle. Now this double eye leaf spring acts as part of your trailer suspension system by providing an attachment point for a 6,000 pound axle. It is made from sturdy steel construction and it's designed to flex to absorb road shock and provide a smooth ride. It's gonna reduce wear and tear on your trailer, and this is going to ensure a level ride even on bumpy and uneven surfaces.
Now, double eye leaf springs attached to hangers that are welded onto your trailer. One end of this spring will attach directly to the hangar with the suspension bolt. The other end will attach to shackle straps that are suspended from a hangar. These straps allow the spring to move and pivot so it can better compensate for uneven pavement. If you have a tandem or triple axle trailer, the shackle straps will be attached to the equalizer that connects multiple springs.
If you need hangers, suspension bolts or equalizers, you can find them here at etrailer.com. Now in the eyes of each end are pre-installed nylon bushings. The eye diameter with the bushing, that's 9/16 of an inch. Without the bushing, it's 11/16 of an inch. And again, this is a 1 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 leaf spring.
And the leaf thickness is 3/8 of an inch, and the spring capacity is 3000 pounds. And again, this is designed for a 6,000 pound trailer axle. Let me see if I can line my tape measure up here. And I am measuring center of eye to center of eye. So as you can see, we are sitting right at 26 inches, center to center.
And the spring width, which you probably can't see here, is one and three quarters inches. And to ensure proper axle alignment and suspension performance, leaf springs should always be replaced in pairs. Well, that's gonna wrap up our real quick look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.
