2012 Prime Time Tracer 2800RLD Leaf Spring Replacement Recommendation
Updated 08/07/2025 | Published 07/12/2025
Question:
I have a 2012 Prime Time Tracer 2800RLD and all four leaf springs are flat. From eye center to eye center measures 27 1 3/4 wide, 4 leafs. I would like to know what the correct length of leaf spring would be. Can you help with this? Thanks, Jim

Hey Jim, if you jack the frame of the trailer up off the ground so that there's no weight on the suspension will the spring stop being flat so you can get a more accurate length dimension? If I can get that as well axle capacity that would be good place to start.
Otherwise get me the distance from the bolt hanger center to the bolt center of the equalizer that the springs attach to.

Hey Jim, did you get a chance to lift the trailer and measure the springs without the weight on them? I'm curious if you were able to find the right length for your leaf springs. Let me know how it went so I can better assist others with similar questions!
