Video Transcript for Comprehensive Review: Spring-Eye Bolt with Locknut for Slipper Springs

Jeff: Hello, everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're going to take a look at the 9/16th diameter, 3 1/2 inch long spring eye bolt with the lock nut for slipper springs. Now this 9/16th diameter spring retainer bolt is used to secure the slipper spring to the front hanger of your slipper spring trailer suspension. The 3 1/2 inch long bolt is common on trailers that have a 6,000 pound or 7,000 pound axle and uses 2 inch wide leaf springs.Now, the bolt itself is a grade five bolt. The way we can tell that is, if you look at the head, you'll see three lines on it.

That'll indicate that that meets the grade five designation. The length on this is 3 1/2 inches, and that's measured from under the head to the end of the bolt, so there's your 3 1/2 inch length. Diameter of this bolt is 9/16th of an inch. The thread size on the end here that the lug nut or the block nut attaches to is 9/16th by 18 threads per inch. Now the bolt head size is a 13/16th of an inch, and let's show you here's a 13/16 socket.

Oops, wrong one. Here's the 13/16 size socket. You can see it fits securely on there.And the lug nut size uses the 7/8th inch size socket, and that's the first one here I pulled. And you can see that fits exactly on there. And this included lock nut is what will secure this bolt to the spring eye.

But that should do it for the review on the 9/16th diameter, 3 1/2 inch long spring eye bolt with the lock nut for slipper springs.

I just received and installed the spring hardware I ordered from etrailer and I must say I am well pleased. Shipment was prompt and the parts were exactly what I needed and at a great value. I was pleasantly surprised that my order was processed and shipped so quick being a small order. I will definitely use etailer again.
Happy towing!

Great Experience!

When I noticed
that the leaf springs on my 44 year old boat
trailer had cracked I thought I would never find replacements.
I fully expected to have to have something custom built.

I was amazed when I found the fantastic diagrams/descriptions
dimensions for replacement springs on etrailer.com

The phone support person was wonderfully helpful in confirming
if items were in stock and ready to ship. The replacement springs
arrived on time and everything bolted up perfectly!

Thanks for such a great site!



by:

NO issues. Trailer working as intended.



by:

I have bought many different products from Etrailer and the staff have been more than helpful and I would recommend this company.

It’s been a year already! How time flies. Every things still working great thanks again.



by:

I will be disassembling and do a further visual coming up. But what I did see while on the trip is that it definitely looks as the rollers (gold colored like a grade 5 - 8 bolt, I'm assuming they are hardened) that are in the system to roll on the slipper springs are showing wear.



by:

Just what needed for my trailer. My old leaf springs were so rusted that I was one pot hole away from being broken down on the side of the road. These new ones are perfect.



by:

I have purchased a number of items from etrailer.com such ans leaf springs, axle and hub assembly, and other items as well, I recently finished the trailer and it is now on a cross country trip. The trailer has just finished a 3,000 mile leg of this trip and I am told it was so smooth that it could not be felt by the towing vehicle.

Every product I have ordered from etrailer.com has been top quality and has worked extremely well. I would come back again for any of my future trailer needs.

  • Recommended Slipper Spring for Custom Kayak Trailer
    Thanks for the photos with measurements. The 2-Leaf Slipper Spring w/ Radius End for 1,000-lb Trailer Axles - 24-5/8" Long # SP-177275 are rated for 500lbs each for use with a 1000K axle. This will work with the inside to inside measurement you are seeking. You will simply need the 9/16 inch bolt # 166079. If there is any extra space in the hanger it won't be an issue with the bolt and bushing.

  • Comparing Lippert Never-Fail Bushings to the Bronze Bushings and Wet Bolt Option for Tandem Axles
    The bronze bushings and wet bolts are a great option but they still do require maintenance especially under the conditions you referenced. There really isn't any new information in comparing it is basically the difference between maintenance required and zero maintenance. The Never-Fail bushings # LC279685 are maintenance free and self-lubricating so they will be a better fit for you. This kit comes with the bushings for 4 springs and two equalizers for a complete tandem axle trailer....

  • 11 Inch Long Equalizer For 2 Inch Slipper Springs & 7/8 Inch Wet Bolt
    Hi Ryan, Really appreciate that detailed info, and we can get you the equalizer you're looking for, as well as the bolt. The parts you're looking for are the following: - Equalizer for 2" Wide Slipper Springs - 11" Long - 7/8" Center Hole # TREQ1304 - Wet Equalizer Bolt with Castle Nut and Grease Zerk - 4-11/16" Long - 7/8" Diameter # TRFA71063 Just note the equalizer and bolt come individually so because you need both sides you'll want to make sure you get a quantity of 2 of each.

  • Replacement Slipper Leaf Spring for Triton PWC Trailer
    The best slipper spring option for your Triton PWC trailer is going to be the Slipper Spring part # SP-039275 as it's for up to a 2,900 lb axle, is a 3-leaf setup, and is 1-3/4 inches wide. It does have a flat end though and not a radiused end but that shouldn't be an issue.

    There isn't a complete kit, but I can go ahead and list out everything you need for a 12 inch long equalizer for 2 inch slipper springs, along with the mounting hardware and U-bolts for your 8,000 lb axles. Here is what you need for your tandem axle trailer: - 2 of the Equalizer for 2" Wide Slipper Springs # TREQ4541 - 8 of the Spring-Eye Bolt with Locknut for Slipper Springs - 3-1/2" Long # 166079 - 2 of the Equalizer Bolt with Cotter Pin and Castle Nut - 7/8" Diameter # 166078 - 2...

  • Is There Difference in Quality Between 1,500 lb 3-Leaf Slipper Spring e99SR & SP-178275
    There really is not any type of quality difference between the two slipper springs: - 3-Leaf Slipper Spring w/ Radius End for 1,500-lb Trailer Axles - 24-5/8" Long # e99SR & # SP-178275 They both have the same measurements, steel construction, and nylon bushing in the spring eye. I'd honestly go with the least expensive option to save yourself some money. Also, I do recommend new bolts when mounting springs, the Spring-Eye Bolt with Locknut for Slipper Springs - 3-1/2" Long # 166079.

  • Recommended 30 Inch Slipper Springs and 2 Inch Square Axle Mounting Kit
    For your 2,000 lb square axle, I recommend the 3-Leaf Slipper Spring w/ Flat End for 2,900-lb Trailer Axles - 30" Long # SP-039275 which is a little stronger than your axle but won't increase your capacity of 2,000 lbs. This is a 30 inch long slipper spring with a 1.75 inch width as you stated. I recommend using the Spring-Eye Bolt with Locknut for Slipper Springs - 3-1/2" Long # 166079 with each spring. For your square axle mounting, I recommend the CE Smith U-Bolt Kit for Mounting...

  • What Size Bolt Is Needed for the 4-Leaf Slipper Spring 3,700 Lb with Flat End
    The 4-Leaf Slipper Spring w/ Flat End part # SP-040275 is designed for 9/16" bolts only, the Spring-Eye Bolt with Locknut for Slipper Springs part # 166079. There isn't any way to use a 3/4" bolt with this leaf spring nor do we have an option that will in this size.

  • Will Reducing The Number Of Leaves On A Spring Effect Ride Height/Fender Clearance?
    Yes, reducing the number of leaves on your leaf springs will lower your ride height and reduce your fender clearance. Lets say for example that the current spring has 9 leaves, and each leaf is 1/4" thick. So the whole spring is 2.25" thick in the middle. Say we replace that with a 5 leaf spring with 1/4" thick leaves. This spring would be only 1.25" thick and we would have lowered the deck of the trailer by 1". If you are looking to replace your springs, we should have options for you....

  • How to Determine Correct Slipper Spring Replacement for 1,500 lb Axle
    What happens to slipper springs is that over time they elongate and flatten out, particularly if your springs are considerably older. The most important measurement you mentioned was the 26 inches from the center of the spring eye to the end of the spring. Based on that the closest slipper spring we have that could work is the 3-Leaf Slipper Spring w/ Radius End for 1,500-lb Trailer Axles - 24-5/8" Long # SP-178275, which would work if you had a tandem-axle trailer. There are no slipper...

  • What Replacement Hardware do I Need to Use with My Slipper Springs # # SP-161275?
    For the axle U-bolts, we have two different options: - 3" Round Trailer U-Bolts 9/16" Diameter # SP01-080 - 3" Round Trailer U-Bolts - 1/2" diameter # SP01-060 Since these bolts are so close in diameter, I recommend measuring the specific diameter of the bolts you have. For the spring-eye bolt, the correct bolt is the Spring-Eye Bolt with Locknut for Slipper Springs - 3-1/2" Long # 166079 As for your broken 3/8 inch bolt, we have Leaf Spring Center Tie Bolt with Nut, 3/8" x 3" # 38-3TB....

  • What Type of Bushing Comes with 4-Leaf Slipper Spring w/ Radius End for 2,000-lb Trailer Axles
    The bushing that comes with the 4-Leaf Slipper Spring # SP-179275 is a nylon bushing like part # TRBU11566 so you need a standard non-grease bolt like part # 166079 for the installation. The nylon bushings are pressed in there by themselves without any specific type of sleeve.

  • Bolt Recommendations for a Equalizer for 2 inch Slipper Springs
    For the Equalizer for 2 inch Wide Slipper Springs # TREQ1344 you will want to use a Wet Equalizer Bolt with Castle Nut and Grease Zerk # TRFA71063 for the center bolt hole. This bolt has a grease (zerk) fitting. For the side bolt hole that the spring will mount to you will want to use a Spring-Eye Bolt with Locknut # 166079. For a keeper bolt you would want a Leaf Spring Center Tie Bolt with Nut # 38-4TB. I attached an FAQ article on slipper spring suspension setups for you to check out also.

  • What Are the Dimensions of the Spring-Eye Bolt with Locknut for Slipper Springs

  • Correct Bushing and Bolt for 4-Leaf Slipper Spring # e33SR
    The 4-Leaf Slipper Spring # e33SR that you referenced actually comes included with the nylon bushing but if a replacement is needed then the 9/16 inch # TRBU11561 that you mentioned would be the correct size and will work perfectly. The correct bolt for this setup is the Redline Spring-Eye Bolt # 166079 that features a 9/16 inch diameter and 3-1/2 inch length.

  • Where is the Length of the Bolt part # 166079 Measured

  • Bolts Needed To Install Slipper Springs
    For the spring eye you would use the Spring-Eye Bolt with Locknut for Slipper Springs - 3-1/2" Long # 166079, but slipper springs don't have the second spring eye, so a bolt is not used on the back end. You can also use a wet bolt like # 126B2, for less friction. The Shackle Bolt with Locknut for Double-Eye Springs - 3" Long # 166081 are for use with the spring and shackle straps used with a shackle straps on a tandem setup with an equalizer but it could be used for the springs and the...

    It looks like you've got a pretty good grasp on all of this and thank you for the detailed information; it looks like most of the parts you've mentioned will work for you. For the leaf springs, the 26" long # e27SR will be the best option for you since springs stretch out over time and they're right around the capacity of what the axles likely is. The next closest size would be the 25-1/8" # e54SR, but I would be hard pressed to believe that your old ones have stretched out over a full...

  • Recommendation to Replace 3-1/4" Wet Bolts for Trailer Suspension
    The closest thing that we have to replace your 3-1/4" wet bolts is the Spring-Eye Bolt with Locknut for Slipper Springs # 166079 which measures 3-1/2" long and has a 9/16" diameter. This is a regular bolt without the grease fitting so you'll want to remove the bolts and grease them manually as opposed to pumping grease into them through the fitting. The only bolt we have that measures 3-1/4" is part # 7-7-6-11 but it only has a 5/16" diameter so it is really only meant for the open end...

  • Hanger Bolt Recommendation for a 3-Leaf Slipper Spring # WIE3
    You need to use a 9/16 inch bolt for the front eye of the 3-Leaf Slipper Spring that your referenced part # SP-178275. For that I would recommend the Spring Eye Bolt with Lock Nut part # 166079. The correct rear hanger is part # 115706S if it's a single axle trailer. Since the spring does not have an eye on the back of it you do not need to match a 9/16 inch bolt to anything.
