Replacement Leaf Springs For A 2014 Trail Star Boat Trailer
Updated 05/15/2024 | Published 03/31/2024
Question:
I have a 2014 trail star boat trailer that is single axle with a 3500 pound axle rating. My boat seems bouncy when I’m going over rough areas. I wondered if it could be time to replace the springs. I’m driving from California to Florida 2200 miles and want to take care of this before I hit the road. Can you recommend a good pair of springs for me.? Thanks

Hey Robert,
A bouncy ride could indicate that your leaf springs are worn out and in need of replacement, but could also indicate that you're overinflating the tires. I would first check the tires to make sure the psi rating is the same as what's on the sidewall of the tires. To replace the leaf springs you'll want to unload and lift the trailer on one side to take the pressure off of the leaf spring. You can then measure from the center of one eyelet to the other. Once we have this measurement we can pick out the correct replacements.
