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 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…

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…

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…

Answer 5

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…

Answer 6

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…

Answer 7

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?…

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 9

Hey Richard! How did you measure your current leaf springs to get the 25-1/2" eye to eye measurement? We recommend jacking one side of the trailer up to get the weight off of them before measuring because they stretch out quite a bit over years…

Hey Jeremy. I have all of the parts you'll need but I am going to need you to take a couple of measurements. There's no database that shows me what parts you have on your toy hauler. To replace your springs, I'll need you to jack up one…

Hey Jerry, thanks for reaching out! I'm not sure if I'd say it will be a significant upgrade, but the MORryde CRE3000 Rubber Equalizers #MR87ZR is definitely the next step up to the Lippert Equaflex when it comes to quality, so I recommend…

Hey Richard! I went out to the warehouse and measured the leaf stack on the 7-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 8,000-lb Trailer Axles - 24-7/8" Long item #EM28AJ. It measures 2-1/2" tall. If you have any additional questions feel free to throw…
