Leaf Spring Replacement for 21-1/2 Spring on 2001 StarCraft Camper

Published 09/23/2022

Question:

I need to replace a leaf spring on a 2001 StarCraft. Shop is telling me it is a 21 1/2 inch by 1 3/4 inch 4 leaf spring. It is eye on both ends. Looking to see if you have something equivalent?

Is the 21-1/2" measurement with the trailer still loaded or is that with the frame of the trailer jacked up so the spring is in a natural position? The 3-leaf spring # e84SR might work as it measures 20-3/8" center eye to center eye and it's rated for 2,000 lbs. If the weight rating and length works out for you then this being 3-leaf springs as opposed to 4-leaf springs will still work out since you're supposed to change out leaf springs in pairs (for each side of the axle).

Attached is a review video for you to check out. If your unloaded leaf spring length isn't within about 3/4" then you'll want to look for a different leaf spring that better matches your application.
