Looking For New Leaf Springs For 2023 Alto East To West 2400KTH  

Updated 06/24/2026 | Published 06/23/2026

Question:

Hello, I have a 2023 alta east to west 2400KTH and I think I need to replace the leaf springs. Are you able to help me the correct ones for my trailer or even upgrade to the next rating up. I would like to replace all 4 with their respective hardware if possible. I tried looking up sizing and spec and unable to find any info on this topic. Thanks for your time.

Hey Phillip, thanks for reaching out. We should definitely have a leaf spring for you, but leaf springs are not model specific to your camper, so there is no way to look up your trailer to know exactly what spring you'll need.

The best way to determine what you need will be to measure one of the current springs. It's best to jack up one side of the trailer so you can measure the spring without a load. Double-eye leaf springs are measured from center-eye to center-eye straight across.

While you are down there, take a look at your axle sticker and find out the weight capacity of each axle. The sticker should be right on the axle tube, usually on the driver's side. That way we can make sure the new springs are matched to the axle capacity, or even do a slight upgrade depending on what's available.

If you want to replace the shackle bolts and hardware, I'll need to know the length of the current shackle straps. Those are measured center-hole to center hole. Its critical for all these parts to be size matched.

Get me all that info when you get a chance and I'm happy to look into it and make sure you get the right thing.

I used the 24 7/8” springs if I remember correctly. They were supposed to be a direct replacement for my 7,000 Dexter axles. Install went well and everything matched up as it should. However, the springs that I received did not hold up. The bands came loose and the leaves of all four set of the springs became offset which is a complete failure. It was also obvious that the springs fatigued. The Dexter springs are pinned with a dowel placement. I fortunately had saved a set of my old Dexters and used them on my worst combination. The old springs with 10+ years on them were better off than the new 7,000lb springs. I have since replaced all four sets with 8,000lb springs and so far so good. If you’re trailer is no where close to your GVRW the 7,000lb springs may be ok. My 8,000lb speed are supposedly from a different manufacturer than the 7,000 springs I purchased. Time will tell if they hold up. I am very aware of my weights on my trailer and know that the springs were the problem not my weight. If you have the extra $ the Dexter will likely give you the best life and performance.

@Wilson Thanks for sharing that, Wilson. Sounds like you did a pretty thorough job tracking down the problem, and it's good to hear you still had the old Dexter springs around to compare against. Hopefully the 8,000 lb springs keep treating you better, and I appreciate you sharing the real-world results for the next guy looking at the same replacement.

I replace my 4 leaf springs And worked out great You will have to look at the tag on axle and than jack up one side and measure from center of shackle bolts on each end of one to get length

@Merlyn Yep! That's definitely the best way to get an accurate measurement on a leaf spring. Thanks for the tip!
