Note: To ensure proper axle alignment and suspension performance, leaf springs should always be replaced in pairs.
Leaf springs are an integral part of your trailer suspension system. The leaf springs provide the attachment points for your trailer's axle, suspending it from the frame of your trailer. Each spring flexes to absorb road shock as you travel, allowing the axle to move somewhat independently of the rest of your trailer. This helps to reduce wear and tear on the trailer and also ensures a smooth ride.
Slipper leaf springs attach to hangers that are welded onto your trailer. The eye of this spring will attach to the front hanger with a suspension bolt. The slipper end of the spring will slide into the rear hanger. If you have a tandem- or triple-axle trailer, the slipper end will slide into the equalizer that connects multiple springs. The shape of the slipper end of a leaf spring may vary slightly due to differences among trailer manufacturers. Because of this, it's important to check your leaf spring's slipper end before purchasing a replacement spring.
To mount this spring, you will need hangers, a suspension bolt, and possibly a spring keeper bolt, depending on the design of the rear hanger. If you are simply replacing a spring, you may still have hangers welded onto your trailer, but it would be wise to replace the bolts as they can experience wear. It is also recommended that you replace the other leaf spring in your setup at the same time. Because springs can sag and elongate as they wear, this new spring may not exactly match the old one, and the alignment of your trailer could be affected.
If you are fabricating a trailer, you will need to purchase a hanger kit for installation. To determine the type of hanger kit that you need, you must know the specific type of leaf spring that you have, as well as your axle capacity. Depending on the hanger kits used with them, springs can be configured to work for single-, tandem- or triple-axle applications. Hangers and other suspension components can also be purchased separately if there isn't a complete kit that works for your setup.

Exact replacement for the original rusted out springs. New life for the old trailer.
by: Scott 07/31/2022
The turn around time on the springs was amazing, I wish I could say the same about the hardware. I should have ordered them at the same time, but I really wasn't sure about what I needed. All in all I'm satisfied and would order sgain.

See what our Experts say about this etrailer Trailer Leaf Springs
- How to Determine Correct Replacement Slipper SpringsIn order to find the correct replacement slipper spring you will need the length, width, and the capacity. The leaf count does not indicate capacity and is not important when determining a replacement. This information would also make a difference in the mounting hardware. For example, the 4-Leaf Slipper Spring w/ Open Eye End # e24SR is 27" long, 1-3/4" wide, and designed for 4,300 lb axles. Assuming a single axle, you could use the # APS3SE and # APUBR-1 (this is for a 2-3/8" diameter...
view full answer... - 27 Inch Slipper Spring For A 4,300 Pound Trailer Axle We do not have a direct 27 inch slipper spring but depending on how old your springs are they could have flattened out a bit. The 4-Leaf Slipper Spring w/ Open Eye End for 4,300-pound Trailer Axles # e24SR has a spring capacity of 2,150 pounds and has an axle capacity of 4,300 pounds. The length of the spring is 27 inches and has a spring with of 1-3/4 inches. It has 4 leaves. If you could let me know the weight capacity of your axle I will be able to see if this will work for you. I...
view full answer... - Replacement Bushing For 4-Leaf Slipper Spring e24SRThere is indeed a replacement bushing for the 4-Leaf Slipper Spring w/ Open Eye End for 4,300-lb Trailer Axles - 27" Long # e24SR; the correct part is the following: - Nylon Bushing # TRBU11566
view full answer... - Recommendation For Slipper Springs That Are 29 Inches Long And 1-3/4 Inches WideUnfortunately, I do not have an exact match in our available inventory. Often springs flatten and become longer as they get older. If this has happened with your springs then they are longer than when first installed. What I do have that is close and that might work is a 4-Leaf Slipper Spring w/Open Eye End that is 26-1/4 inches long, Item # e24SR. It is 1-3/4 inches wide and designed for 4,300-lbs axle. Because your total length is 29-1/2 inches and the bolt to spring measures 13...
view full answer... - Determining If Open Eyed Slipper Leaf Spring Is Needing ReplacedYour trailer uses an open eye leaf spring like # e24SR. Over time as the leaf spring softens the gap you are seeing will get bigger. As long as the leaf spring is not falling off the hanger when you raise the trailer weight off the axle they do not need replaced unless visibly damaged. Since the overall length of the spring changes as the spring wears I recommend measuring the length of your spring on the radius of the spring(see image). Since this measurement remains the same it ensures...

- Recommended Winch for a 1986 ski Nautique 2001 Boat and DHL Trailer For your 1986 ski Nautique 2001, I recommend the Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch item # DL15440. It looks like your boat weighs 2,400 lbs dry and is almost 19' long so this 2-speed 3,200 lbs winch would work perfect. I'm not sure if you're using carpeted bunks or roller bunks but the item # DL15440 has plenty of capacity to work with both. You'll also need the Hand Winch Strap with Safety Hook, 2" Wide x 20' Long - 4,000 lbs. item # DL24242. We do not have a complete rubber bumper assembly....
view full answer... - How Tight Should The Shackle Bolts And Nuts Be Tightened? Hello Paul, great question. The shackle bolts cannot be tightened too much. There is no torque rating for these bolts because tightening them too much can cause the suspension to bind up. The nuts are to be tightened until the knurled portion of the bolt pulls completely into the shackle strap and the bolt head is ran all the way down to the shackle strap and you have at least 2 threads extending past the face of the nut.
view full answer... - Do You Have The Replacement Open Eye Leaf Springs and Hardware For a 2001 Load Rite Boat TrailerThe only open eye 1-3/4" wide leaf springs we currently carry is the etrailer # e24SR & # e33SR. I have no way to verify the weight capacity for your current springs but as it is only a 2" square axle this spring is likely much heavier than you will need. We do have the U-Bolt Kit # CE23103 for your axle which includes 4 u-bolts, 2 plates and 8 washers and nuts. Then you will need 2 of the Hanger Bolts # TRFA73Z916DLNZ for the leaf springs.
view full answer... - ShoreLand'r Boat Trailer Slipper End Leaf Spring Rubbing On Trailer FrameOn a slipper spring with a flat end like you have it is normal for the end of the spring to rub on the frame/spring hanger. With the style mount you have it makes me think you original springs were Open Ended # e24SR. This would help to explain the sleeve you have on the bolt as well as the spring would have rolled on the sleeve. The original spring was likely damaged and since they probably were not able to find the correct size they just went with what they could make work.
view full answer... - Should Open Eye Slipper Spring Be Replaced When Flattened and Touching FrameHi Alan; you definitely want to replace those leaf springs. If they have flattened out that means they're worn out and ready to be replaced anyway. Rubbing on the frame like that could also cause other problems. New springs will keep it from pushing up into there since they will have their arch back, pulling the open end down where it should be. Our open eye slipper spring selection only consists of the 4-Leaf Slipper Spring w/ Open Eye End for 4,300-lb Trailer Axles - 26-1/4" Long #...
