Hey Darrel, we actually have exactly what you are looking for with the part # TRU52FR which is for a 7k axle and is 25-1/4 inch from eye to eye. This is also a 6 leaf spring as well. The spring you referenced would be too short.

@Darrell Gotcha, to use the spring you mentioned you'd need to have your hangers moved in closer.

Answer 1

Hi Travis; those look pretty flat so I don't think 26" would do it either. The 25-1/4" long #EM86RB you ordered will be a better fit. Completely flat these would have a similar measurement at just over 26" which is in line with…

Hi Greg; leaf springs aren't typically used to raise a trailer. However, if the #EM28AJ matches your current leaf spring measurements, and your current leaf springs are 3-leaf, and the leaf springs are sitting on top of the axle, that would push…

Hey Joe, thanks for the information! To replace your Dexter 072-079-01 leaf springs, I recommend the 7-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 8,000-lb Trailer Axles item #EM28AJ. This is a 4,000 lbs leaf spring designed for 8,000 lbs axles. It's got 7-leafs…

Yes, The Dexter #DX74XR will work as a direct replacement for the Dexter 072-100-01 you were looking at. These are the same length, capacity, spring count, and both use bronze bushings. It looks like the Dexter 072-100-00 uses a weird rubber bushing…

Hello Steve, thanks for reaching out. In my honest opinion, leaf springs are leaf springs. There is not going to be a noticeable difference in quality or longevity between the different brands. As long as the length of the spring is correct and the…

Hey Thomas, well I know exactly what you are talking about and the correct replacement spring you would want is the EMCO part #TRU52FR which is 25-1/4 inches long and is for a 7k rated axle. Did you break yours or did they wear out?

Answer 8

First off by moving to heavier leaf springs you will cause the trailer to want to bounce more which could cause another set of issues. To ensure the length of the springs are correct I can use the information off the axle tag located on the center of…

It looks like you have the Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box #GY58GR mounted in the highest position. You should be able to raise the pin box in the mounting arms to help lower the front of your trailer on your truck. If you…

Hello Mike, Great question! You can tell your toy hauler trailer's leaf springs are worn out by looking for several visual and performance-related signs. Visually, worn springs may appear flat or even bowed downward, rather than having their…

Answer 11

Is your axle an 8k axle or is it a 4k? If it is an 8k axle then you would want a spring like the part #e89FV but you would have to move in your current hangers. Did you measure your springs with the trailer's weight on the suspension or without?…

Answer 12

Hey Michael, the leaf spring part #e66SR that you referenced would not work for you as it was designed for a much lighter 2,500 lb axle. So instead you'd want a leaf spring that was designed for 7k axles like the part #TRU52FR which is similar in…
