Typical Spring Deflection for Trailer Leaf Springs When at Weight Capacity
Updated 01/02/2025 | Published 02/15/2015
Question:
How much deflection is allowed for at rated spring capacity. Or: rated capacity = how much capacity?

Helpful Expert Reply:
Typical spring deflection is up to 1-1/2 inches when at capacity.
So the # e46SR that you referenced should see right at 1-1/2 inches of deflection when it has 3,000 lbs on it. I attached a review video for this spring as well.
