Features to know about

Smooth Ride Over Rough Roads: 3-Leaf Slipper Spring Handles 2,900-lb Axles

A rough ride beats up your trailer and everything inside it. This 3-Leaf Slipper Spring flexes to absorb road shock and keep things level when the pavement gets broken or uneven. Designed for 2,900-lb trailer axles, each spring has a 1,450-lb capacity and measures 30" from the center of the spring eye to the flat end when unloaded. The natural flex of the three leaves soaks up bumps and vibration, helping your trailer track steady and ride smooth.

Built to Last Under Load: Sturdy Steel with 3/8" Thick Leaves

Heavy loads and long miles demand strong suspension parts. Each leaf in this spring is built from durable steel with a 3/8" thickness, giving it the backbone to carry weight without sagging or twisting. The flat-end slipper design slides into the rear hanger or equalizer for a solid connection that holds up over time. It’s the kind of hardware that you can count on trip after trip.

Ready for Straightforward Setup: 9/16" Nylon-Bushed Eye Fits Standard Hangers

Installing new springs shouldn’t mean wrestling with parts that don’t line up. This spring includes a nylon bushing with a 9/16" inner diameter in the front eye, so it fits standard hangers and bolts without modification. The 1-3/4" width matches common slipper spring hardware, making it easy to mount the front eye to the hanger on the frame while the flat end slides cleanly into place at the rear.

Reliable Alignment Every Time: Replace Springs in Pairs for Balanced Performance

Suspension parts wear and stretch over time. Replacing both springs together keeps your axle alignment true and your trailer level. When paired up, these 30" long springs maintain equal height and tension side to side, ensuring even tire wear and smooth tracking down the road.

Product looks to be fine, but one spring was half out of the box it came in. The UPS driver was wondering if it was damaged, so he waited until I compared each spring. I'm building a homemade trailer and these should work well. I appreciate the quality of your products and old school consideration to your customers.

Worked perfect on my trailer great prod uct



by:

The leaf springs are excellent however the bushings I bought with a 1/2 ID and 7/8 inch OD would not fit in the round end of the leaf springs. I went ahead and used the 9/16 ID ones that came already installed. You might want to check this yourself at the factory.

Exactly what I needed. Chef’s kiss on the fit. Only company I’ve ever bought from that gives you tracking EVERY step of the way from pick to pack to ship. Won’t hesitate to buy again. I’d give six stars if it were an option.

The leaf springs on my 4500-lb, dual-axle trailer were heavily rusted and sagging. The 30", 3-leaf slipper spring/w flat end for 2,900-lb axle was an exact replacement. I replaced the shackle bolt and U-bolt mounting for each spring at the same time. And before mounting the leaf springs, I applied 3 coats of grey industrial spray paint to the leaf springs to reduce any further corrosion.

  • Replacement Slipper Leaf Spring for a 14' Aluminum Boat Trailer with 28" Slipper Spring
    Hey Jarrod, thanks for reaching out! I believe what you're looking for is the 30" Long 3-Leaf Slipper Spring w/ Flat End for 2,900-lb Trailer Axles # e49SR, although this may be a bit longer than what you currently have. If you take the weight off of your trailer and measure from the center eye to the place where the spring rests in the hanger I can see if we have something closer to the length that you have.

  • 4.80-12 Trailer Tires Wearing in Middle Could it be 30 Inch Slipper Springs
    Hi Gary, Yes, it is possible the bounce is causing the issue with your tires wearing out more in the middle. You may try lowering the psi in the tires to help stop the bouncing, or going with a lower-rated tire like the load range B Kenda # AM10060. This has a 785 lb per-tire capacity, and it is important to makes sure the tires have a capacity that meets or exceed the GVWR of your trailer. That can be tough with a homemade trailer, of course, so I recommend weighing it fully loaded to...

  • Is There a 3-Leaf Flat End Slipper Spring with a Galvanized Finish?
    Hey Roger, thanks for reaching out! We have the 3-Leaf Slipper Spring w/ Flat End for 2,900-lb Trailer Axles - 30" Long # e49SR that should work for your application. These aren't available with a galvanized finish, and the 30" measurement is from the center of the eyelet to the very end of the spring without a load on it. Does this look like it will work, and is the weight rating on par with what you're needing?

  • Can I Replace the Leaf Spring on My Boat Trailer with a Flat End Leaf Spring?
    Hello John, Great question. If you have a double eye leaf spring on the trailer, then you will not be able to replace it with the 3-Leaf Slipper Spring w/ Flat End for 2,900-lb Trailer Axles - 30" Long # e49SR. What kind of leaf spring do you have on your set-up? What is the axle capacity? What is the measurement from eye to eye with the weight off the spring? It is normal to have a measurement that is longer than what you need as they do stretch over time. I attached some images to show...

  • Replacement Suspension For a Old Trailer With 32-1/4" Slipper Springs and 1-3/4" Axles
    The longest 1-3/4" wide slipper spring we carry is 30" from the center eye hole to end of the flat slipper end. We have springs for 1,800lb # e29SR, 2,900lb # e49SR and 3,700lb # e89SR axles. With your axle diameter being 1-3/4" in diameter it likely is only a 2,000lb axle. All the springs above have a 15" length from center of eye to center of spring pack along the curve. The center of spring to end of spring along the curve is only 17-3/4". If this will not fit your application you...

  • How To Properly Measure Slipper Springs For Your Trailer's Leaf Sping Suspension
    To properly measure your leaf springs you'll want to lift the trailer by the frame to take the weight off of the suspension and then measure from the center of the eyelet straight across the spring to the end of the slipper (pictured below). From there you'll also need to know the capacity of the axle so that you can get a matching capacity leaf springs. Whenever you change out a leaf spring you'll want to change out both sides of the axle. If you really do have a 30" length then we have...

  • Replacement for 32 Inch Long Slipper Spring
    I may have a solution, but unfortunately we do not have a 32" long 4-leaf slipper spring. In addition to length, you also need the width and capacity when choosing replacement slipper springs. The leaf count doesn't matter. Assuming you're looking for 1-3/4" wide slipper springs for a 2,900 lb axle you may still be able to use the # e49SR. The length is measured from the center of the eye to the end of the slipper. This measures 30" long, but if your existing leaf springs are flat they...

  • 1-3/4 Inch Slipper Spring That is 30 Inches Long and Over 2,500 lb Capacity
    We have a couple of slipper springs that may work for you, as they are 1-3/4 inches wide, measure a total of 30 inches, and have the capacity you need. Springs do elongate over time, but you may have to have your brackets re-positioned if the 30 inch length isn't enough (this is the longest available for 1-3/4 inch or 2 inch springs). You will want to get a spring that is as close to your axle capacity as possible without going under it's capacity. - 2,900 lb Axle: 3-Leaf Slipper Spring...

  • Where Should End of Slipper Spring Sit On Hanger on Single Axle Trailer
    Yes, the end of a slipper spring like the # e49SR will be very close to the hanger bolt in the unloaded position. There is no exact distance or placement, but it needs to allow for full suspension travel once installed. If the hanger is near the end of the slipper spring the flat end will move through the hanger once it is loaded and the spring compresses. I have attached a helpful article on slipper spring trailer suspension for your reference.

  • Upgrading Boat Trailer Suspension For Highlander 16' Trailer For 2,000LB Boat
    My first concern is determining the weight of your boat and trailer. It sounds like your trailer would have come with a 2,000lb axle as the Loadstar 4.80-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12" Galvanized Wheel # AM30670 has a maximum weight rating of 990lbs per tire. If your boat is over the 2,000lbs this would explain why your axle and springs are damaged. I can help you find the suspension components needed to increase your weight capacity but you should check with the trailer manufacturer to...

  • Replacement Slipper Spring for 1986 Coleman Sequoia
    The best option we have is the trailer leaf spring part # e49SR which is for a 2,900 lb trailer axle and has an overall length of 30 inches and is 1-3/4 inches wide. This might be a little longer than what you have now but since it has a straight end and not a curved end that shouldn't be an issue.

  • Is There Plastic Wear Pad Between 1-3/4 Inch Wide Slipper Spring e49SR & Frame
    Nope, there is not any type of plastic wear bad to go between the 1-3/4" wide 3-Leaf Slipper Spring w/ Flat End for 2,900-lb Trailer Axles - 30" Long # e49SR and trailer frame.

  • Looking for Slipper Spring that has 1,500 lb Weight Capacity Per Spring
    Hey Steven, the closest thing we have would be the part # e49SR which has a 1,450 lb capacity per spring and overall is 30 inches long. The width is 1-3/4 inches as well. Is the 26.5 inch you need the overall length or from the eye center to where the spring would rest on the hanger?
