Long hauls and uneven roads can rattle a trailer and its cargo. This 5-leaf slipper spring flexes just the right amount to resist shock and smooth out the ride. With a spring capacity of 5,000 lbs and an axle capacity of 10,000 lbs, it keeps the trailer level and steady so you’re not fighting bounce or sway on every bump.
A reliable suspension starts with proper geometry. This spring measures 30-1/2" from the center of the eye to the end of the radius-style slipper, giving the axle a precise mounting point that tracks straight. The front eye attaches securely to a hanger on the frame while the slipper end slides smoothly into the rear hanger or equalizer for consistent movement under load.
Each of the five 7/16" thick steel leaves works together to carry heavy loads without sagging. The included bronze bushing with a 3/4" inner diameter protects against wear at the pivot point, holding grease longer and cutting down on squeaks or play that can show up with nylon bushings.
This spring’s 2-1/2" width makes it a direct fit for standard hangers and hardware used in heavy-duty suspension setups. Whether you’re replacing worn parts or fabricating a new system, matching these measurements ensures proper axle alignment and dependable performance mile after mile.

Ellen: Hey everyone, I'm Ellen here at etrailer.com. We're going to be taking a quick look at the Five Leaf Slipper Spring with your radius end for your 10,000 pound axles. So this is a great addition to your trailer to make sure that you have that spring to take up any of that road shock and help to improve the overall ride. Also helps to reduce the amount of wear and tear on your trailer overall. It's a good idea to always replace the slipper springs or your leaf Springs in pairs. So you'll want to get an additional spring to this.
So you can replace both of those at the same time and for as many axles as you need to replace. So let's take a closer look at it and make sure that this is going to be the right fit for your particular application. So you can see it as a slipper type spring.So that's going to slip over the end of your hanger or your equalizer and provide that movement that you need as that axle travels. It does have the five leaf designs that helps to absorb a lot of that shock from the road and help to level things out and keeping things even on bumpy and uneven pavement. The other end here is going to be our radial end.
That's going to have our eye. It does have a bronze bushing already installed. So that's one less thing we have to do, but you do need to get a hanger kit or use pre mounted hangers to actually install this in place on your trailer. As far as the specs with this, again, it does have a spring capacity itself of 5,000 pounds. So it works with a 10,000 pound axle.
Whenever you have both of these, that'll get you to that 10,000 pounds.The length from the center of the eye to the end of the spring. So from the center here to the very end of the spring, it's going to be about 30 and a half inches, 30 inches and one half inch. Then the spring width is two and a half inches. The eye diameter with the bushing in place is three quarters of an inch. Without the bushing, it would be two inches.
The leaf thickness each one of these is seven 16ths of an inch. Again, we have five leaves it all, and if you need to see any additional measurements, we do have those listed out in a table on the product page at etrailer.com. That's pretty much it for our look at the Five Leaf Slipper Spring. I hope this has been helpful in deciding if this is going to be the right piece for you. We do have a lot of other accessories, including hangers and equalizers here at etrailer.com. So if you need to pick those up, check us out. Thanks for watching.
