If Slipper Spring Disconnected When Jacking Up Trailer Will It Be Okay to Reinstall Spring
Question:
After taking a flat tire off I noticed that the front end of a 4 leaf slipper spring was no longer connected to the frame. after I get the tire fixed and back on I think it will sit back in the hub it broke off of. Do you think it is drivable? It is a 23 ft Jayco Eagle super lite trailer with two wheels on each side.

As long as none of the hangers are damaged you should be fine to reinstall the slipper spring on your trailer. You'd want to double check to make sure there is no damage to the suspension in anyway.
If you need new hangers I attached a link to this page that has all of the slipper spring hangers we carry for you to check out.
