• Replacement Slipper Springs for 1985 Harding Boat Trailer
  I do have options for you but exact replacements for old boat trailers are hard to come by. In the majority of cases, items will need to be altered for an exact fit which I assume is what is going to need to be done on your trailer as well. We don't have a slipper spring that is 1-3/4" wide x 28" long (center of eye to end of spring) with a 2,500, 3,000, or 3,500 lb capacity. However, leaf springs will fatten out over time which means the leaf spring that was originally installed on the...

  Thanks for the photo. The hook end you referenced is a slipper style leaf spring but without knowing the capacity of your axle or the width of the spring is it difficult to give you a replacement recommendation.

• Can Double Eye Springs be Replaced with Slipper Springs on a 1969 Shoreline Boat Trailer
  In most cases switching from double eye to slipper spring requires new hangers and mounting hardware. This would require you to cut the old spring hangers off the trailer and mount the new hangers in the correct location for the slipper springs. Due to the extra welding involved, I suggest you stay with your original suspension set-up. To select the correct springs you need the weight capacity of each axle. Then you need to measure the dimension from center of eye to center of eye on...

• Do Trailer Slipper Springs Normally Slip Out of their Rear Hangers
  It's hard to see in your picture but is the hanger open on the one side which allows the spring to slide out to the side? It shouldn't be open like that.

Slipper springs slipping out of their hangers is not common, even though saying that out loud and considering the name...it would seem like it would be!

• 1,000 lb Slipper Spring Recommendation for John Boat Trailer
  The lowest rated trailer leaf springs we offer are for 1,000 lb axles like the slipper spring part # SP-177275. This might be a little stiff for your boat but would still work great. This is a very common spring for smaller boat trailers like your so it would be a great solution. If you needed a hanger kit you'd then want the part # APS3SE and you'd be set.

• 1,500 lb Slipper Springs or 1,000 lb Slipper Springs for a Trailer
  The best way to pick out a slipper spring replacement for a trailer is to base it off of the weight capacity for the trailer and then the dimension of the spring getting replaced. Sounds like you are considering going with the # SP-178275 over the # SP-177275 for your trailer. Both of these springs share the same dimensions, but since your old springs seem to be too soft it would seem like the # SP-178275 would be a better choice.

The 3/8 inch difference in length from your current springs shouldn't be an issue based on the curve, so I don't forsee an issue. However, if you find out it does bind and cause issues, you would need to move the mount. Since you will be lowering the capacity of your trailer, make sure your boat...

• Replacement Trailer Slipper Spring for a WaveRunner Trailer
  Trailer springs tend to stretch out around 1/2 inch from the dimension they had when new. For your waverunner trailer the part # SP-177275 should work well as it has a 1k axle rating and is 23-1/8 inches long where yours is 24.
