Leaf Spring Recommendation 2010 Heartland Edge
Updated 10/09/2025 | Published 10/08/2025
Question:
So I have a 2010 Heartland Edge rv trailer and I found a broken leaf spring on my rear wheel of my tandem axle. The longest leaf broke in half about an inch from the eye bolt on the end toward the rear of the trailer. I am having issues getting a measurement that I can find a replacement for.. so when I measure the length from the mid bolt to the remaining eye bolt with a flexible tape I get 13". If i measure without following the curve it measures 12" to the middle of the eye bolt. My leafs measure 1 3/4 " wide. Which would mean a total length of 26" Howver they are 3 leaf springs and my trailer has a GVWR of 4300 lbs, so I'm looking for either a 2K or 2.5k axle weight leaf springs. I would really like to upgrade to a 4 leaf spring since I live in this trailer so it's heavier than normal weekenders and I do alot off road driving so I need a heavier suspension. Can you help me to wade through all of the options available to find something that will work? Thank you, Sheryl

Hey Sheryl, the best option would be the part # e27SR which is a 6-leaf spring that is 26 inches long and has a 4,500 lb axle capacity. I think this covers everything you are looking for!

Thank you for answering my question. I re measured my leaf spring this morning . When measuring the spring while it's laying on its side the length between the center of eye hole and center of middle bolt is 12.5" and straight line between the same points is 12". So it looks like I need something 25" length. I am also concerned about putting on a 6 leaf vs. 3 leaf in terms of the depth of the spring itself. My axles are only 2.5k so I really don't need something that big. And am concerned about the space required under the trailer. Do you have a leaf spring more in that range?
