We have the 4-Leaf Spring C-Hook Spring, # e33SR, that measures 26-1/2 inches from center of the bolt eye to the edge of the C-hook. See attached picture diagram.

Unfortunately, we do not have a spring with only 3 leafs in this style leaf spring.

Answer 4

It sounds like the 4-Leaf Slipper Spring w/ Open Eye End #e33SR could be what you are looking for. Over time leaf springs can stretch so this one being 1/4" shorter than your current leaf spring is most likely correct. This leaf spring is rated…

In order to find the correct replacement slipper spring you will need the length, width, and the capacity. The leaf count does not indicate capacity and is not important when determining a replacement. This information would also make a difference in…

Answer 6

A Nylon Bushing #TRBU11561 is not required to be used on the open end of the 4-Leaf Slipper Spring #e33SR. Since the bushing is not going to be fully encased it stands that under the weight of the trailer it will fail and break apart more easily. I…

Answer 7

The 4-Leaf Slipper Spring #e33SR does not require a bushing on the rear bolt that retains the open end of the slipper spring. You are correct in the way that you have installed this on your 1996 Escort trailer.

Answer 10

I can help you determine how to figure out the right replacement slipper springs, though I'm not 100% certain what you mean by "where can I find how much space or clearance is required." I think you are asking if there is a standard…

Answer 11

As they wear, leaf springs tend to flatten out. The first step is to get the correct length of the existing springs. In order to do that, you'll need to put the trailer up on jack stands and measure them (center eye to center of the slipper) with…

Answer 12

For a 26-1/4 inch long slipper spring that is 1-3/4 inches wide we have a spring that is going to be way overkill with capacity as the part #e33SR. This has a 4,300 lb capacity. The best option would be the part #SP-177275 with you moving your…
