How To Choose Correct Replacement Leaf Springs for a Trailer
Updated 03/16/2021 | Published 03/12/2021
Question:
I have a small single axle travel trailer. Spree Escape by RZ. 3500 lb GTVW. I am in the process of replacing the leaf springs, brake assemblies and wheel hubs along with all associated hardware, bushings, bearings etc. I want to upgrade the leaf springs and discuss the specific products I need. I have numerous photos and data I can e-mail to assist in the process. Thank you.

In order to choose the correct replacement leaf springs for a trailer you'll need a few bits of info such as spring type (double eye, slipper), length, and axle capacity. The 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring part # SP-210275 for example is a double eye spring, measures 27" long, and is rated for 3,500 lb axles. I have attached a full list of options below.
In regards to the braking assemblies and hubs/drums, the axle capacity and bolt pattern would be the two most important.
