Features to know about

Smooth, Balanced Ride on Rough Roads: 4-Leaf Double-Eye Design Absorbs Shock

Long hauls and uneven pavement can beat up a trailer fast. This 4-leaf double-eye spring flexes to take in road shock so the trailer rides smoother and stays level. Each leaf works together to absorb bumps and dips, cutting down on bounce and sway while keeping your load steady. With a spring capacity of 2,600 lbs and an axle capacity of 5,200 lbs, it’s built for trailers that need dependable suspension support mile after mile.

Built to Last: Sturdy Steel with 1-3/4" Width and 25-1/4" Eye-to-Eye Length

Durability starts with construction and geometry. This leaf spring is formed from strong steel and measures 25-1/4" from center eye to center eye when unloaded. It’s 1-3/4" wide and built with four leaves that share the load evenly, keeping flex consistent over time. The standard 9/16" eye diameter with nylon bushings makes it ready for common suspension hardware, so it bolts up cleanly and stays solid under heavy use.

Quiet, Low-Maintenance Movement: Nylon Bushings with 9/16" Eyes

Creaks and metal rubs don’t belong in a good suspension system. The included nylon bushings let the spring pivot smoothly on the hangers and shackle straps, reducing noise and wear. The eye design keeps movement controlled so your suspension cycles quietly and predictably, even as the trailer shifts across uneven ground.

Stable Suspension Setup: Works with Standard Hangers and Shackles

When this spring is paired with hangers and shackle straps (sold separately), it forms a reliable connection from the trailer frame to the axle. One end mounts directly to the hanger, while the other links to shackle straps that allow pivoting motion through bumps and turns. That flexibility helps prevent harsh jolts and keeps all wheels tracking evenly. For best alignment, replace springs in pairs so both sides carry weight evenly and maintain proper ride height.

Super fast service. Had the product in a couple of days.

Neomi found my part that was needed. Pricey for overnight, but fixed my problem and got us on our way.



by:

They replaced my factory 4400lb springs. While they measure exactly the same, they are nearly a pound heavier per pack...so they might actually be a stiffer spring.

Great customer service the part arrived in a timely manner and fit perfectly

Thanks for the kind words! We're so glad to hear the part arrived quickly, fit perfectly, and that you had a great experience with our customer service. We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review, and thanks for choosing etrailer!



by:

My order was shipped out the same day I placed it and I received it the very next day. The springs were packaged nicely and exactly what I ordered. Thank you for your help.



by:

I ordered a 4000lb set of springs first but they were to weak. Returned them in exchange for a set of 5200 lb springs. They worked. Would have given a 5 star rating if they had been USA made.



by:

Just the upgrade I have been waiting to do. The box that it was delivered in was torn pretty badly but everything inside was there and not damaged other than a few scuffs. Equalizer, shackles leaf springs and wet bolts were all easy to install. I guess I must mention that I had all the tools that make it easy though. It took me about 2 hours doing it by myself.



by:

these are supposed to be OE parts from Dexter, the MFG ones that come on the camper have brass bushing, the replacement one comes with nylon bushings.



by:

Replaced all 4 leaf springs on my 2014 Grand Design Reflection 3033RLS. Fit perfect and I’m rolling again.



by:

my 4-leaf spring fit & works beautifully



by:

Looks good., need to install, test and use for awhile to know more. Bought as a spare for emergency / while traveling abroad



by:

4 new leaf springs in my 2014 Grand Design Reflection 3033 RLS. Apparently, worn leaf springs contribute to premature tire wear. Hoping this is true. etrailer has always done me right.



by:

My 15 year old springs on my Keystone fifth wheel we’re flat. These new springs raised it back to original height. The camper is now level with the truck again.



by:

the ordering process was easy, the shipping was very quick and the installation was easy for the most part. I had to replace a broken spring on a tandem axle set up which had a equalizer which had rotated due to the trailing broken spring. I replaced the other side spring and it was a very easy. I have not used the 5th. wheel yet but don't see any problems. Thanks for the great service....

  • What Is The Correct Replacement Leaf Spring For A 2015 CrossRoads Cruiser CF315RL 5th Wheel?
    Hello Gary. The # DX45CR spring may work for your camper, but we want to make sure this spring is identical to the old springs. The best way to measure the current springs is to jack up one side of the trailer and measure the springs when not under a load. If the springs are under a load they can flex and give you a bit of a false measurement. You just need to be sure the new springs are identical in length to the old springs. The number of leaves is not as important as the weight capacity...

  • Replacement Spring for 2020 Grand Design Reflection 300RBTS
    Hey Scott, we have a 4-leaf double eye spring that is rated for 5,200 lb axles with the part # DX45CR which is the very popular size of 25-1/4 inches. I would need to know for sure how long your current springs are to know for sure if this is correct fit though. Yours should measure a little longer than this but either way let me know the length you have.

  • Upgrading Axle Capacity on 5th Wheel With 3,500 lb Axles
    Hi David; a trailer wouldn't be designed where it exceeds the axle capacity without even being loaded. The axles will always be able to handle the GVWR of the trailer. You might not be factoring in the pin weight, which is weight that won't be sitting on the axles. The same is true for tongue weight on bumper pull trailers. You can still upgrade the axles if you want, but it won't actually increase the capacity of the trailer. Even if you swap out the axles, leaf springs, and hubs you...

  • Are 5,200 lb Leaf Springs Rated Too High To Replace 3,500 lb Leaf Springs
    Hey Alex! I would say that 5,200 lb leaf springs like the # DX45CR are a bit too much. Moving to these over the 3,500 lb is quite a jump, and you'll probably have a really stiff ride you don't want. Assuming you're looking for 25-1/4" leaf springs I would get the # e57SR instead. The 4,000 lb rating will give you stronger leaf springs without going overboard. If you prefer the Dexter version it would be # DX35CR. If you have any other questions feel free to reply below.

  • How to Choose the Correct Leaf Springs and U-Bolts for a 2015 Grand Design Reflection 303RLS
    Hi VJ, that’s a really good question, and I’m glad you’re taking the time to get this right before ordering because it makes a big difference in how everything fits and rides. The 2015 Grand Design Reflection 303RLS is equipped with tandem 5,200 lb axles. For that axle size, the most common leaf spring you’ll see is a 1-3/4 inch wide double eye spring that measures right around 25-1/4 inches long like part # DX45CR that you were looking at. U-bolts will be sized for a 3 inch diameter round...

  • Replacement Leaf Springs for 2014 Heartland Sundance 288RLS
    Hey Jerry, the Dexter leaf spring part # DX45CR that you referenced is exactly what you are looking for. This is the correct length at 25-1/4 inches and the correct axle rating at 5,200 lbs. Is this first time you've replaced leaf springs on a trailer?

  • Replacement Suspension for Triple Axle Trailer with 5,200 lb Trailer Axles
    Hey McKiever, lets start with leaf springs. Since your trailer has 5,200 lb axles the Dexter Spring part # DX45CR would be a great option that will hold up well and it is a popular size of 25-1/4 inches. Then for a heavy duty equalizer kit the part # K71-360-00 that you referenced would be a great option. This comes with hangers, wet bolts, shackles, bushings and nuts. So all we have left is a hanger kit. The # 115918 could be used for all positions and is a standard height that would...

  • What Leaf Spring Is Required For My Trailer?
    Hello Julio, thanks for reaching out. The appropriate spring for your trailer will depend on the weight capacity of each axle. Ideally the springs will match the axle capacity. Like for example the 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring # DX45CR is rated for 2,600 lbs individually and is intended for a 5,200 lb axle. There should be a tag on the axle that shows this info, and if you can tell me that, I can recommend a spring. I will also need to know the length of the current springs in order to make...

  • Is It Ok To Go With Higher Capacity Leaf Springs When Replacing Factory Ones
    Hey Artie, When it comes to leaf springs it's best to match the capacity of both springs to the capacity of the axle. You can go a bit higher in spring capacity to prevent sagging but there's a fine line where too much capacity can cause a bouncy, uncomfortable ride quality. It is also important to match the length from eye to eye when replacing springs to prevent any bind ups with your suspension. I'm seeing people say that the Dexter P-11 is rated for either 5,200lbs or 7,000lbs,...

  • Replacement Leaf Springs for Forest River Puma 356QLB
    Hey Matt! To find replacement leaf springs for your Forest River Puma 356QLB you will need to know the axle capacity (listed on the axle tag) and measure your leaf springs. I recommend getting the flat length since it is the most accurate, see the picture below. You can also get the spring eye to spring eye measurement. I attached a help article further down on this page which explains the different ways to measure. If you can add this information in the comments below I can take a look...

  • What Suspension Upgrades do I Need for My 2019 Powerlite Toy Hauler 29FBXL Tandem 5,100 Axles?
    Hello Jose, Looking to upgrade the suspension on your 2019 Powerlite Toy Hauler 29FBXL? That’s always a great idea. With your tandem axle setup, it’s important to match the weight rating of the leaf springs to that of your axles. Going with a spring that’s rated significantly higher than your axle capacity can result in a stiff ride and may even cause damage to your suspension over time. You’ll need to double-check your eye-to-eye measurement on the leaf springs with the trailer unloaded,...

  • What Suspension Upgrade Parts do I Need for My 2005 Challenger 5th wheel 29rpk?
    Hello Paul, Happy to get the right parts to upgrade your suspension on your 2005 Challenger 5th wheel 29rpk. I do not have a database that supplies me with what is put on what 5th wheel, so you are going to need to double check a couple of measurements.

  • Upgraded Suspension Parts for 5th Wheel Triple Axle 5200 Pound Axles on 2006 Eclipse Attitude 33aks
    Hello Ken. For upgrading your suspension on your 2006 Eclipse Attitude 33aks I recommend starting with the MORryde Suspension Upgrade Kit for Triple Axle Trailers - 3-1/8" Long Shackle Straps # MR26ZR. There isn't a data base that I can reference because there isn't an industry standard when they are putting the 5th wheels together, with that being said you are going to want to double check the measurements on your current shackle straps that they are 3 1/8" from center hole to center...

  • How to Find Replacement Leaf Spring for a 2019 Keystone Cougar 32BHS
    Hey Jim, thanks for reaching out! Your 2019 Keystone Cougar 32BHS has a GVWR of 11,500 lbs so you should have 5,200 lb axles on your trailer. Something like the 25-1/4" Long 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring # DX45CR could work but I'll need you to lift your trailer by the frame and measure the center eye to center eye distance on your current leaf springs to make sure we get the right size for your trailer. Unfortunately, I don't have a list of what parts came on your trailer, so I don't have...

  • Availability of Replacement Leaf Springs for Forest River Cherokee 304BH
    Hi Douglas; did you account for the leaf springs flattening out over time when you took your measurement? If they're pretty worn out and you didn't, the 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 5,200-lb Trailer Axles - 25-1/4" Long # DX45CR are probably the correct fit. If they're truly 26" the closest thing we have is the 6-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 6,000-lb Trailer Axles - 26" Long # e94SR. These are slightly overrated but not to a point it will impact ride quality. Since they are 6-leaf it will...

  • Looking for Replacement Leaf Spring for 2022 Grand Design 295RL
    Hey Steve, I am sure we have a leaf spring that would work for you but I would need you to get me the length of your current springs without a load on them so I can pick out what you'll need. For example, we have the Dexter leaf spring part # DX45CR which is for a 5,200 lb axle and is the very popular length of 25-1/4 inches. There's a good chance this is the size you are in need of but you would want to measure to be sure.

    Hey Kevin, if you take the load off of the trailer suspension by jacking it up by the frame you can then get a good measurement of the spring to use to pick out a replacement. Keep in mind it still will measure a little bit longer than what it did when new so go with something slightly shorter. A very popular length in a replacement would be the part # DX45CR. If you have something different let me know. To pick out the correct shock absorbing equalizer I would need to know the distance...

RV manufacturers just aren't that specific with their online literature. The best way to determine what you need will be to jack up one side of the trailer so you can measure the spring unloaded. Do that and grab the eye-to-eye measurement of the spring. While you are down there, also check the axle sticker...
