Hey Brett. You won't need a bushing on the open of a slipper spring, but the 4-Leaf Slipper Spring w/ Open Eye End for 4,300-lb Trailer Axles - 26-1/4" Long # EM98AJ does indeed come with the built-in nylon bushing on the eye end, so you're all set!

One thing to make sure is that you need this exact length, since they are very specific. This one measures 26-1/4" from center of one eye to center of the other eye, when unloaded. Also keep in mind, on a boat trailer it never hurts to spend a little more on parts that hold up to salt water / elements better such as with the etrailer Dacromet version of this: # e33SR which is more rust-resistant.

Anything else you need while rebuilding that Karavan trailer?
