Trailer Leaf Springs

You can use leaf springs that are rated higher than the axle without any issues as long as they measure the correct measurement for your trailer. For example the 6-leaf double eye spring for 7,000 lb axles part #e64SR measures 24-7/8" eye to…

Hey Mike, thanks for reaching out. Yes, we should have the leaf springs and hardware you need, but those parts aren't make and model specific to your trailer, so I will need a bit more information from you. For the leaf springs, I'll need to…

Hey Nate, We do not have a 3/4" spindle nut or washer, the smallest option is the 7/8" spindle nut #165931and a 1" washer #SW1000. I cannot find anything smaller. Are you sure the threads on you're spindle are 3/4"? If they…

There is no exact way to determine the leaf spring length. The best way to determine the length for a replacement is by measuring the existing leaf springs. The hanger distance and shackle length can help you get a good idea, but you're looking…

Hi Travis; those look pretty flat so I don't think 26" would do it either. The 25-1/4" long #EM86RB you ordered will be a better fit. Completely flat these would have a similar measurement at just over 26" which is in line with…

Thank you for providing the specs for the suspension components that you already have. Correct hanger spacing really depends on the components being used such as springs, hangers and equalizers. Most of the hanger spacing dimensions that we have are…

Hey JT! Sorry to hear about your trouble with the leaf springs. Hopefully there wasn't a lot of damage and everyone stayed safe. From what I have found the 26E-3500 is the same as the Dexter 072-027-00. This is the 6-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for…

Hi Michael, you’re on the right track and your install and measurements sound solid, but the sag you’re seeing is because the springs you installed are undersized for your axle rating. Even though they matched up perfectly in length, the capacity is…

Hey Kevin thanks for your question. There is not much downside to going with the 5,000 lb springs instead of the 3,500 lb. A higher rated spring may make the ride a bit more "chunky" at times, since the spring would not flex as easily.…

Hi Todd, To go with trailer leaf springs that are slightly stiffer than the 4,400 lb rating of your axle you can go with 4,500 lb springs or 5,000 lb springs. The right one is going to depend on the length of your current springs though, as…

To correctly measure a leaf spring, you'll want to jack the trailer up on jack stands so the axle is hanging freely, then measure directly across from the center of one spring eye to the other, as shown in the provided diagram. The height of the…

Hi Greg; leaf springs aren't typically used to raise a trailer. However, if the #EM28AJ matches your current leaf spring measurements, and your current leaf springs are 3-leaf, and the leaf springs are sitting on top of the axle, that would push…
