Average Customer Rating: 4.9 out of 5 stars (72 Customer Reviews)

Seems like quality hardware. Wish the lock nuts were a little tighter.
by: Dan05/23/2024
I use the trailer almost every weekend and have had no issues so far.
by: JT07/09/2023
Much heavier duty than the originals. Definitely an improvement. Helpful to use a C clamp to hold pieces in place while tightening nuts but keeping prices centered in holes.
by: Kevin 04/02/2024
Exactly what is needed, did not have to search for individual parts.
by: Chad06/15/2022
Replaced both leaf springs, hangers, and shocks on a Dexter 3500lb axle. Entire process took just over an hour.
by: Daniel08/18/2023
Trailer Doesn't Have broken springs anymore. Fun stuff! Good product, fit properly, no complaints.
by: Johnny 12/14/2023
Nice ...heavy duty....upgrade from my old stuff
by: James06/04/2023
As with the spring I bought they took some persuasion to install. My trailer perhaps. The three star is for shipping. It was a week later than the “estimated date” .

One year and going strong

Delivery was prompt and part fit as sho uld.
by: Thomas11/02/2019
The customer service was outstanding. Thru the process of identifying what I needed to ordering and delivering the products I dealt with multiple Customer Service Representatives (CSR). Everyone of them were helpful and courteous. I really appreciated the follow up after my initial contact with CSR. Once the product was ordered I was kept up to date on the status of the order thru regular emails from an etrailer CSR. The parts arrived as they promised, and a CSR even followed up with me after that. Great service, keep it up!
by: Ben 07/27/2022
The parts worked well. Etrailer had exactly what I needed and a great search filter as well.
by: Robert 10/26/2021
Other than slow shipping time, all arrived and worked as intended. shipping box had a hole in the side and the leaf springs were not packed very well, hence the hole in the box.
by: Ray 09/15/2022
Replaced worn out springs and hardware. Everything went better than expected. Easy repair, thanks.
by: Roger 06/18/2021
I will be carrying this kit along with a spare leaf spring so as I can make a complete repair on the road if necessary.
by: Paul 08/10/2020
This was a prompt and efficient process. Although the shipping fee is high for a small purchase, the tracking process is amazing especially the update rate. Thanks.
by: Ty04/24/2023
Kit came as expected and fit well.

- How to Determine Correct Leaf Springs For 2018 Jayco Travel TrailerHi Austin, I can help you determine the right replacement double-eye leaf springs for your 2018 Jayco trailer, though we don't have any way of knowing what specific ones you need. It's pretty easy though, as all you need to do is measure your current leaf springs from center-to-center of the spring eyes, and you also need to know the weight rating of your axle. Based on its weight, your 174BH is likely to have a 3,500 lb axle, though you'll want to double check just to be sure. Leaf springs...

view full answer... - Replacement Leaf Spring Recommendation for 2009 Venture VAB-3025 Boat TrailerAccording to my research you should need 25-1/8" long springs rated for a 3,500 lb axle which means you'll need the following parts: - 3.5K Leaf Spring # e54SR OR Upgrade to part # e68SR - U-Bolt Kit # CE23002 for Round Axle OR # CE23103 for Square Axle - Heavy Duty Suspension Kit # K71-403-00 You'll want to verify the length of your current leaf springs by lifting your axle off the ground by the frame and measuring from center eye to center eye. If you measure something different...
view full answer... - Parts Needed To Replace Slipper Spring With Double Eye Leaf Springs On a 2002 Coleman Mesa 3651As we will not have a slipper spring that fits your 2002 Coleman Mesa 3651 I recommend upgrading to a double eye leaf spring system. You will only need to change your Rear Hanger # 93003-3X on each side to be able to install 2 of the 4-Leaf Double-Eye Springs # e54SR. The Dexter Single Axle Heavy Duty Suspension Kit # K71-403-00 will give you the necessary new hardware to mount the springs to the frame. I recommend upgrading to the Wet Bolt Kit # K71-358-00 to cut down on noise and provide...
view full answer... - Shackle Suspension Kit for Single Axle Trailer With 3,500 lb AxleWe can get you the right shackle kit for your single axle trailer with a Dexter 3,500 lb axle, and you can choose from either a standard kit or an upgrade kit. Either will work, though the Upgrade Kit is going to be the best option due to the fact it includes thicker 1/2" shackles, wet bolts with grease zerks to make lubrication super simple, along with bronze bushings for the longest lifespan. Your options are as follows: - Dexter Heavy Duty Suspension Upgrade Kit for Single Axle Trailers...
view full answer... - Does the Dexter Single Axle Heavy Duty Suspension Kit Come with BushingsThe Dexter Single Axle Heavy Duty Suspension Kit part # K71-403-00 does not come with bushings. These will be required but they should already be installed in the leaf springs and equalizers. If yours need replaced you can use the Suspension Bushing part # 721590.
view full answer... - Is There Torque Specs For the Nuts On The Dexter Single Axle Heavy Duty Suspension Kit K71-403-00The Dexter Single Axle Heavy Duty Suspension Kit # K71-403-00 technically will not have a torque specification. However, I have been asked this before and was informed by Dexter that what you need to do is tighten them down to the point of either pinching the leaf spring or all the way to the shoulder of the bolts. If you start pinching the head of the leaf spring before hitting the shoulder, you will need to back the nut off a little to let the spring move, but not so loose that it can...
view full answer... - Will the Dexter Single Axle Heavy Duty Suspension Kit Work on a Tandem Axle TrailerYes, the Dexter Single Axle Heavy Duty Suspension Kit part # K71-403-00 will work on tandem axle trailer you'll just need to purchase multiple kits. This is a standard kit that will work great for most trailers but if you're looking for an upgrade, I recommend the Dexter Heavy Duty Suspension Upgrade Kit part # K71-358-00 since it has bronze bushings which increase longevity, thicker shackles for added strength, and grease fittings for easy maintenance.
view full answer... - How Thick Are the Shackle Links of Dexter Equalizer Kit # K71-403-00The shackle links of the # K71-403-00 are 3/8 inch thick.
view full answer... - Dimensions of Bolts and Shacles of Dexter Heavy Duty Suspension kit # K71-403-00The threaded portion of the bolts of the # K71-403-00 are 7/16 inch but the stepped up diameter is 9/16 inch. The shackle length is 3-1/8 inch from hole center to hole center. The bolt length is 2-7/8 inches. We can't help much with the axle camber as the trailer axles are bowed and designed to flatten out with weight on them.
view full answer... - Does Dexter Single Axle Heavy Duty Suspension Kit # K71-403-00 Have Zinc PlatingAll of the components of the Dexter Single Axle Heavy Duty Suspension Kit # K71-403-00 are zinc plated which is great for marine applications.
view full answer... - Bolt Diameter of Dexter Single Axle Heavy Duty Suspension KitThe bolts in the Dexter Single Axle Heavy Duty Suspension Kit # K71-403-00 are 9/16" diameter like you need. This kit is designed for and will work with your 1-3/4" wide, double eye leaf springs. I have added a link to a video review for you to check out as well of the Dexter Single Axle Heavy Duty Suspension Kit # K71-403-00.
view full answer... - Shackle Kit Without Wet Bots For a Tandem Axle RV CamperYou will need 2 of the Heavy Duty Suspension Kits # K71-403-00 for your tandem axle RV. If you also need to replace the equalizer bolts you will need 2 Bolts # 007-126-01 and Nuts # 006-092-01. We do have Nylon Bushings # TRBU11566 if your current bushings are worn through. If you need help finding a replacement equalizer please send me an image with dimensions so I can be sure to get you the correct shape and size.
view full answer... - How to Lift a Single Axle Trailer w/ an Axle Flip KitThe Dexter Single Axle Heavy Duty Suspension Kit - Double Eye Springs item # K71-403-00 you referenced does not add lift to your trailer. The best way to lift your trailer is to use the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit item # K71-385-00 for 3 inch diameter axles or the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit item # K71-384-00 for 2-3/8" diameter axles. These over and under conversion kits move your axle below your trailer's leaf springs and give you a lift equivalent...
view full answer... - Replacement Suspension For A 2010 Karavan WC-2450-84 TrailerI can certainly point you in the right direction. From what I can see on the Karavan website, your 2010 Karavan WC-2450-84 Trailer has a GVWR of about 3000 lbs and is about 100" wide. It is of course preferred to have you as the owner confirm these specs prior to ordering. That being said, for a replacement axle we would be looking at a 3,500 lb axle like the # 7359765 which measures 95" long from hub face to hub face. If you can confirm the hub face length of the current axle, we will...
view full answer... - Could Going to Double Eye Springs From Slipper Springs Improve Ride Quality of Small TrailerGoing with a double eye spring setup in place of your slipper setup that already has shocks wouldn't give you enough of a difference to make the upgrade worth it. Unfortunately the problem is just due to the short distance between the coupler and the axle. You might check to make sure your leaf springs are the correct rating for the weight of the trailer though as that's only thing I can think of that could be off and causing it to be bouncier.

- Replacement U-Bolts and Mounting Hardware For 3,500LB Leaf Springs On TrailerIf you are dealing with a single axle and the 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring # e97SR I recommend either the standard Kit # K71-403-00 or Wet Bolt Kit # K71-358-00 which will give you new bolts, nuts and shackle straps. The U-Bolt Kit # CE23002 is a great upgrade to the uncoated u-bolt you currently have. If you have a tandem axle trailer you would use 2 of the U-Bolt Kits # CE23002 and one of the wet bolt kits from the list below depending on the length of your current shackle straps and if...
