Hey David, thanks for reaching out!

To replace the leaf spring that fits with your 5,200 lb Lippert axle you likely need the 26" Long 6-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 6,000-lb Trailer Axles # e94SR, but you'll need to measure from center-eye to center-eye on your current leaf springs when they don't have a load on them to ensure this length matches close to what you have. If you find you have a different length, please let me know what you have and I'll be happy to make a different recommendation!

Please note that you'll want to change leaf springs on either side of the axle at the same time for best suspension performance.

You can use leaf springs that are rated higher than the axle without any issues as long as they measure the correct measurement for your trailer. For example the 6-leaf double eye spring for 7,000 lb axles part #e64SR measures 24-7/8" eye to…

Hi Calvin! All of the pre-greased hubs/drums, like the Terran Industries Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 3.5K Axles - 10" Diameter - 5 on 4-1/2 #TX68VJ, come with bearings made overseas and are all basically the same quality. At least that I…

Answer 12

Hey Jason, it's pretty common for replacement leaf springs to be slightly shorter than what they replace as springs tend to stretch/flatten overtime as they wear out so while you are on the right track 3/4 of an inch is a bit too much of a…
