Can I Upgrade My Leaf Springs To A Higher Weight Capacity
Question:
Can i use the three leaf 4000 lb spring to replace my 4 leaf spring on my 3500 lb axles? Measurements appear to be the same. I continue to break the 4 leaf 1750 lb springs, always the main leaf where it starts to overlap the second leaf. About 2 2 inches from the eye. I welcome your suggestions. My current spring is 1-3/4 wide x 25-1/2 and eyes on both ends.

Yes, you can upgrade to The 3-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 4,000-lb Trailer Axles - 25-1/4 inch Long # e57SR. Going up in weight capacity on your leaf springs will not increase the capacity of your trailer.
Using springs that are rated higher than the load applied to them with result in a rougher ride. Be sure to replace both springs on the same axle at the same time.
The springs have a sturdy steel construction and the nylon bushings are included.
