High quality parts that arrived when I expected them, and were a perfect fit.

Just what I needed, great service with quick delivery.



by:

Replaced both leaf springs, hangers, and shocks on a Dexter 3500lb axle. Entire process took just over an hour.



by:

Good quality



by:

Seems like quality hardware. Wish the lock nuts were a little tighter.



by:

Great customer service, fast delivery.



by:

Stainless steel would be excellent



by:

I use the trailer almost every weekend and have had no issues so far.



by:

Much heavier duty than the originals. Definitely an improvement. Helpful to use a C clamp to hold pieces in place while tightening nuts but keeping prices centered in holes.



by:

Exactly what is needed, did not have to search for individual parts.



by:

Trailer Doesn't Have broken springs anymore. Fun stuff! Good product, fit properly, no complaints.



by:

Nice ...heavy duty....upgrade from my old stuff



by:

The customer service was outstanding. Thru the process of identifying what I needed to ordering and delivering the products I dealt with multiple Customer Service Representatives (CSR). Everyone of them were helpful and courteous. I really appreciated the follow up after my initial contact with CSR. Once the product was ordered I was kept up to date on the status of the order thru regular emails from an etrailer CSR. The parts arrived as they promised, and a CSR even followed up with me after that. Great service, keep it up!



by:

As with the spring I bought they took some persuasion to install. My trailer perhaps. The three star is for shipping. It was a week later than the “estimated date” .



by:

The parts worked well. Etrailer had exactly what I needed and a great search filter as well.



by:

Other than slow shipping time, all arrived and worked as intended. shipping box had a hole in the side and the leaf springs were not packed very well, hence the hole in the box.



by:

Replaced worn out springs and hardware. Everything went better than expected. Easy repair, thanks.



by:

I will be carrying this kit along with a spare leaf spring so as I can make a complete repair on the road if necessary.



by:

This was a prompt and efficient process. Although the shipping fee is high for a small purchase, the tracking process is amazing especially the update rate. Thanks.



by:

One year and going strong



by:

Delivery was prompt and part fit as sho uld.



by:

Real good quality.

  • How to Determine Correct Leaf Springs For 2018 Jayco Travel Trailer
    Hi Austin, I can help you determine the right replacement double-eye leaf springs for your 2018 Jayco trailer, though we don't have any way of knowing what specific ones you need. It's pretty easy though, as all you need to do is measure your current leaf springs from center-to-center of the spring eyes, and you also need to know the weight rating of your axle. Based on its weight, your 174BH is likely to have a 3,500 lb axle, though you'll want to double check just to be sure. Leaf springs...

  • Do You Sell a Dexter Shackle Kit with 2 Shackles, or a Kit with Shackles that are 2" Long?
    Hello David, We do not have a 2 shackle kit, and we do not have Dexter that Dexter Shackle sold individually. Honestly, the Dexter Single Axle Heavy Duty Suspension Kit - Double Eye Springs # K71-403-00 is more cost effective as a kit than trying to piece it together. Now that I re-read your question you might be looking for a 2" shackle, which we do not have. What kind of trailer are you working on, and what exactly are you trying to do?

  • Replacement Leaf Spring Recommendation for 2009 Venture VAB-3025 Boat Trailer
    According to my research you should need 25-1/8" long springs rated for a 3,500 lb axle which means you'll need the following parts: - 3.5K Leaf Spring # e54SR OR Upgrade to part # e68SR - U-Bolt Kit # CE23002 for Round Axle OR # CE23103 for Square Axle - Heavy Duty Suspension Kit # K71-403-00 You'll want to verify the length of your current leaf springs by lifting your axle off the ground by the frame and measuring from center eye to center eye.

  • Shackle Suspension Kit for Single Axle Trailer With 3,500 lb Axle
    We can get you the right shackle kit for your single axle trailer with a Dexter 3,500 lb axle, and you can choose from either a standard kit or an upgrade kit. Either will work, though the Upgrade Kit is going to be the best option due to the fact it includes thicker 1/2" shackles, wet bolts with grease zerks to make lubrication super simple, along with bronze bushings for the longest lifespan. Your options are as follows: - Dexter Heavy Duty Suspension Upgrade Kit for Single Axle Trailers...

  • Dimensions of Bolts and Shacles of Dexter Heavy Duty Suspension kit # K71-403-00
    The threaded portion of the bolts of the # K71-403-00 are 7/16 inch but the stepped up diameter is 9/16 inch. The shackle length is 3-1/8 inch from hole center to hole center. The bolt length is 2-7/8 inches. We can't help much with the axle camber as the trailer axles are bowed and designed to flatten out with weight on them.

  • Is There Torque Specs For the Nuts On The Dexter Single Axle Heavy Duty Suspension Kit K71-403-00
    The Dexter Single Axle Heavy Duty Suspension Kit # K71-403-00 technically will not have a torque specification. However, I have been asked this before and was informed by Dexter that what you need to do is tighten them down to the point of either pinching the leaf spring or all the way to the shoulder of the bolts. If you start pinching the head of the leaf spring before hitting the shoulder, you will need to back the nut off a little to let the spring move, but not so loose that it can...

  • Does the Dexter Single Axle Heavy Duty Suspension Kit Come with Bushings
    The Dexter Single Axle Heavy Duty Suspension Kit part # K71-403-00 does not come with bushings. These will be required but they should already be installed in the leaf springs and equalizers. If yours need replaced you can use the Suspension Bushing part # 721590.

  • Shackle Kit Without Wet Bots For a Tandem Axle RV Camper
    You will need 2 of the Heavy Duty Suspension Kits # K71-403-00 for your tandem axle RV. If you also need to replace the equalizer bolts you will need 2 Bolts # 007-126-01 and Nuts # 006-092-01. We do have Nylon Bushings # TRBU11566 if your current bushings are worn through. If you need help finding a replacement equalizer please send me an image with dimensions so I can be sure to get you the correct shape and size.

  • Will the Dexter Single Axle Heavy Duty Suspension Kit Work on a Tandem Axle Trailer
    Yes, the Dexter Single Axle Heavy Duty Suspension Kit part # K71-403-00 will work on tandem axle trailer you'll just need to purchase multiple kits. This is a standard kit that will work great for most trailers but if you're looking for an upgrade, I recommend the Dexter Heavy Duty Suspension Upgrade Kit part # K71-358-00 since it has bronze bushings which increase longevity, thicker shackles for added strength, and grease fittings for easy maintenance.

  • How to Lift a Single Axle Trailer w/ an Axle Flip Kit
    The Dexter Single Axle Heavy Duty Suspension Kit - Double Eye Springs item # K71-403-00 you referenced does not add lift to your trailer. The best way to lift your trailer is to use the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit item # K71-385-00 for 3 inch diameter axles or the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit item # K71-384-00 for 2-3/8" diameter axles. These over and under conversion kits move your axle below your trailer's leaf springs and give you a lift equivalent...

  • Could Going to Double Eye Springs From Slipper Springs Improve Ride Quality of Small Trailer
    Going with a double eye spring setup in place of your slipper setup that already has shocks wouldn't give you enough of a difference to make the upgrade worth it. Unfortunately the problem is just due to the short distance between the coupler and the axle. You might check to make sure your leaf springs are the correct rating for the weight of the trailer though as that's only thing I can think of that could be off and causing it to be bouncier.

  • Replacement Suspension For A 2010 Karavan WC-2450-84 Trailer
    I can certainly point you in the right direction. From what I can see on the Karavan website, your 2010 Karavan WC-2450-84 Trailer has a GVWR of about 3000 lbs and is about 100" wide. It is of course preferred to have you as the owner confirm these specs prior to ordering. That being said, for a replacement axle we would be looking at a 3,500 lb axle like the # 7359765 which measures 95" long from hub face to hub face. If you can confirm the hub face length of the current axle, we will...

  • Parts Needed To Replace Slipper Spring With Double Eye Leaf Springs On a 2002 Coleman Mesa 3651
    As we will not have a slipper spring that fits your 2002 Coleman Mesa 3651 I recommend upgrading to a double eye leaf spring system. You will only need to change your Rear Hanger # 93003-3X on each side to be able to install 2 of the 4-Leaf Double-Eye Springs # e54SR. The Dexter Single Axle Heavy Duty Suspension Kit # K71-403-00 will give you the necessary new hardware to mount the springs to the frame.

  • Replacement U-Bolts and Mounting Hardware For 3,500LB Leaf Springs On Trailer
    If you are dealing with a single axle and the 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring # e97SR I recommend either the standard Kit # K71-403-00 or Wet Bolt Kit # K71-358-00 which will give you new bolts, nuts and shackle straps. The U-Bolt Kit # CE23002 is a great upgrade to the uncoated u-bolt you currently have. If you have a tandem axle trailer you would use 2 of the U-Bolt Kits # CE23002 and one of the wet bolt kits from the list below depending on the length of your current shackle straps and if...

  • Do you Have a Wet Bolt Kit for Single Axle Trailer with 2 5/8" Shackle Straps?
    Hello Danny, For the single axle trailer, we do not have a wet bolt kit that has 2 5/8" Shackles. Is that your overall length, or center eye to center eye? The closest kit we we would have for the single axle would not have wet bolts, but it would have the upgraded shackles. The Dexter Single Axle Heavy Duty Suspension Kit - Double Eye Springs # K71-403-00 which would be 3 1/2" from center eye to center eye. What kind of trailer is this going on?
