Hands-On with the 4-Leaf Slipper Spring w/ Radius End for 2,000-lb Trailer Axles Video

To properly measure your leaf springs you'll want to lift the trailer by the frame to take the weight off of the suspension and then measure from the center of the eyelet straight across the spring to the end of the slipper (pictured below). From…

Appreciate the purchase of the Trailer Axle with Idler Hubs - 5 on 4-1/2 Bolt Pattern - 72" Long - 2,000 lbs #e32GR. This axle and hub combo does not come with a spindle washer, and one is not actually needed as the castle nut pushes directly…

Hello Ben. Anytime we see a trailers suspension go "wonky" like that it is almost always due to incorrectly sized suspension components. Since you say you replaced things recently, I suspect this is the issue. If the equalizer is pivoting…

If your trailer has a GVWR of 3,750lbs and your boat only weighs 1,460lbs you should be fine with the 3,500LB Leaf Springs #e54SR. I would recommend taking your boat and trailer to a nearby scale to have the trailer weighed to ensure you are under…

If the U-bolts are 9/16 inch diameter, the torque specs should be between 65 to 95 foot lbs. If the U-bolts are 3/8 inch diameter, the torque should be between 30 and 50 foot lbs.

Building a single axle trailer you will need the following items to install leaf springs. I have listed the part numbers for the PR626 Springs next to the items needed. 2 Springs - #e27SR 2 Front Hangers - #115917, 1-1/2 inch tall or #28-5, 3-1/4…

Hey Kevin thanks for your question. There is not much downside to going with the 5,000 lb springs instead of the 3,500 lb. A higher rated spring may make the ride a bit more "chunky" at times, since the spring would not flex as easily.…

Thank you for all of the information and photos - it really helps give me a good idea of what you have/need. The parts that you asked about are listed below but I will say you may need a new axle as well if the location where the current leaf springs…

As long as the weight capacity is inline with your trailer/axle rating and the measurements match your current springs, the number of leaves in a spring pack does not matter. The difference between a 3 and 4 leaf spring pack within the same weight…

Thank you for all the information; you seem to know the measurements you need, which are hub face to hub face and spring center to spring center. The closest axle we have to the measurements you gave is the Dexter #20545I-ST-72-15, which measures…

You can use leaf springs that are rated higher than the axle without any issues as long as they measure the correct measurement for your trailer. For example the 6-leaf double eye spring for 7,000 lb axles part #e64SR measures 24-7/8" eye to…

The Kenda 4.80/4.00-8 Bias Trailer tire with 8" Wheel Part #AM30040 is a good option. This will give you the proper size you are looking for when it comes to matching your other tires. I like that this assembly comes put together instead of…
