• Replacement 1-3/4 Wide 25-1/2 Long Slipper Leaf Spring
  The closest thing we have to those dimensions is the 3-Leaf Slipper Spring w/ Radius End for 2,000-lb Trailer Axles # SP-179275. This measures 24-5/8" from the center of the eye to the end of the hook. Over time leaf springs can flatten out so typically a replacement leaf spring will be a little shorter than the current one. A 1" difference is a bit longer than normal, but if your leaf springs are pretty flat then I would venture to say this is what you're looking for. Just make sure the...

• Hanger Kit to Install Leaf Spring on Trailer that Has Slipper Springs
  You could pretty easily install the springs you have but you will need to use a single axle trailer hanger kit like part # APS4 as the bushing sizes and hangers you have now won't work with the spring you have part # SP-113275.

• Replacement 1-3/4-Inch-Wide Trailer Slipper Leaf Springs
  It sounds like your trailer uses slipper-type leaf springs like # SP-179275. This and other similar 1-3/4-inch-wide springs are shown on the linked page.

• Recommendation For Softening The Ride Of Small Trailer Carrying 2 or 3 Kayaks
  I may have a solution that will save you some money and work. I spoke with our tire expert and his suggestion was to lower the tire pressure a little until you are comfortable with the way the trailer handles and rides. We always recommend using the maximum tire pressure and to air the tires up when they are cold. This is to make sure the tires are capable of handling the maximum load they are rated for. In your case, since you said you are limiting the load you plan on carrying, you...

• Information Needed to Add Electric Brakes to Car Hauler
  Generally speaking, a tandem axle car hauler would be much more stable than a single axle. You'll want a hauler that has a weight rating greater than the heaviest vehicle you're expecting to haul. You can install brakes on most trailers if your existing axles have the brake mounting flange. To specify parts for you, I'd need to know the capacity of the axles, the bolt pattern of the wheels you're wanting to use and the reference numbers from your inner and outer wheel bearings. I'll...

• Recommended Slipper Springs for a 2011 Triton LTWC11 2,500 Pound Jet Ski Trailer
  To determine the correct slipper spring for your 2011 Triton jet ski trailer, you will need to know the width of the spring, the length of the spring, and the weight rating of the axle on your trailer. Based on your measurements you provided about your 2011 Triton LTWC11 2,500 pound jet ski trailer, I think your best option would be slipper springs by Redline # SP-039275.

• Needing Replacement Slipper Springs for Older Cox Boat Trailer
  None of the slipper springs we offer meet the dimensions you provided. You'll probably need to get a set of springs of the proper capacity and relocate the spring hanger and slipper. Given your axle diameter, you most likely have have a 2000 lb axle. For spring hangers, you'll want to use a front hanger that match the height of your existing spring hanger. I'll link you to our selection of slipper spring hangers. As far as the axles go, unfortunately none of the off-the-shelf axles...

• Difference Between Amount of Leafs in Slipper Spring Packs for Trailer Suspension
  Some people prefer spring packs with greater amounts of leaves as that in the unlikely event one of them break there are several others to back it up. But the thinner the leaves (to create a multi-leaf spring pack) the more likely one would be to break. The other thing to consider is that a thicker spring pack would raise the trailer up a bit if the spring was mount above the axle. For a 2,000 lb axle we only have one slipper spring available as part # SP-179275 which has 4 springs.

• Slipper Spring Recommendation for Trailer that Weighs 2,000 lb
  The most important factor when replacing leaf springs on a trailer is to match the capacity of the springs with the capacity of the trailer axle. So for a slipper spring with a 2,000 lb axle capacity what you'd want is the part # SP-179275. This is considerably shorter than what you mentioned having so you will need to move the hangers of your setup to accommodate this spring as it measure 25-5/8 inches overall and 22-11/16 inches from the bolt center to where it mounts.

• Slipper Spring Recommendation for a Kayak Trailer
  All things being equal there really isnt an advantage to going with one over the other, its just that when you get to the heavier capacities you only see the slipper style. I would recommend either for you, but more importantly you want to pick the spring set that best matches the capacity of what you plan on towing. In that case I would recommend the 2-Leaf Slipper Spring for 1,000-lb Trailer Axles # SP-177275 since it has the closest capacity at 1,000 lbs per axle. Since your trailer...

• Replacing Slipper Springs on Magic Tilt B16W Boat Trailer
  The best way to determine the length of the slipper spring you will need for your trailer is to measure the spacing, center to center, of the spring hangers.

If your spacing is different, feel free to let me know and I will see if we have a spring that will work for you.

• How to Choose Correct Replacement Leaf Springs for Boat Trailer
  How did you measure the length of your existing leaf springs? As they wear out, leaf springs will flatten out, making them longer than when new. The best way to get an accurate measurement for a replacement spring is to jack up the trailer so that the axles are hanging free, then measure for length. The # SP-179275 slipper spring you looked at is for a 2000 lb axle, and measures 24-5/8 inches in length which is in the neighborhood of where your springs were length-wise when they were...

• Replacing Slipper Springs with Double-Eye Springs
  If you are looking to replace your flat-end style slipper springs with a radius-type, you can use the same hangers you have only if they will accept the same size bolt as the radius-type springs. Otherwise you will need to get a new set of hangers and install them in place of the old ones. Also, you will want to replace the bolt as it is likely worn from the slipper spring. If you have a 2,000 lbs axle, you can use the 4-Leaf Slipper Spring with Radius End # SP-179275. This has an eye...

• Slipper Spring Replacement Solution for Boat Trailer with 20 inch Springs
  The only solution you have would be to move the hangers of your suspension to allow longer springs to fit since we do not have 20 inch long slipper springs. This will require a welder. If the trailer calls for a 2,000 lb axle rated spring the part # SP-179275 would work well. Or if you have a 1,000 lb axle the part # SP-177275 would be what you need.

• Replacement Leaf Spring for 1987 Shoreline Boat Trailer 3000 lb
  The most important thing to match when replacing trailer leaf springs is the weight capacity. Which for a trailer that weighs 3,000 lbs I'd recommend going with 3,700 lb axle springs like # SP-040275 which are 30 inches long. This means you'll need to move out your old hangers wider which we have replacements with # 115706S.

• 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...

• Will Slipper Springs be Installed Above or Below New Dexter Axle
  If you are installing the Dexter Idler Trailer Axle w/ Hubs # 20545I-EZ-60-10 with the U-Bolt Kit # APUBR-10 on your Harbor Freight trailer you will install the slipper springs, either # SP-039275 or # SP-179275, below the axle like in the linked installation video. This axle will work as a replacement, though I do recommend verifying your current axle has the same 48" spring-center-to-spring-center length and 60" hub-face-to-hub-face length.

• Replacement Leaf Springs for a 1,500 Pound Boat Trailer
  The GVWR is the gross vehicle weight rating which is the most that the trailer can weight when loaded and ready to tow. Since that figure is 1,560 pounds it is likely that the axle on the trailer is a 2,000 pound axle. That would mean you need to look at leaf springs rated for 1,000 pounds each. There are 2 types of trailer leaf springs that we carry: double-eye and slipper. Double-eye springs have an eyelet on each end whereas slipper springs have one just on one end and sort of a hook...

• Are there Bolt-On Hangers for Trailer Leaf Spring Suspension
  We do have a couple of bolt-on spring hangers # CE14017G and # CE14016G but they are designed for slipper springs and not double-eye springs like # SP-124275. Its not likely that professional welder would charge that much. You might be able to find one locally via an iron workers union near you. For u-bolts for your 1-1/2 inch square axle you can use # SP01-120 for 2 u-bolts and 4 nuts. For a u-bolt plate you can use # 115983. For a hanger kit you could use # APS1. Now what you could...
