Does it Matter Which Way a Double-Eye Trailer Leaf Spring Faces
Question:
Are leaf springs directional. I am changing from single leaf to 4 leaf springs. There is a strap on one end of the leaf springs about the 2nd leaf and I see that also the manufacture has painted that eye on that end also. I am putting these on a tandam trailer.Which way should they hang.

Expert Reply:
If they are double-eye leaf springs, it should not matter which way they are facing. But if they are slipper springs, the eye end is at the front and the slipper is at the back. The springs that we carry are not marked as to which end is front and I have seen them either way on a trailer. I have included some links to suspension FAQs for you.
