Helpful Expert Reply:

The trailer suspension leaf springs that we carry, including # SP-178275 are sold individually. When replacing springs though you will always want to replace all of them at the same time.

This spring is rated for 750 pounds by itself. For a pair used on a single axle they are rated for 1,500 pounds. I have linked a video of this spring and a link to our help article on slipper spring suspension.

Hey there Zack, appreciate that info, and we do not offer an axle of that length, and they can be pretty tricky to find. Sometimes people will have to get their axles custom-fabricated at a local fabricator, but I do have an option to consider, which…

Answer 7

The only difference between the Flat and Radius end slipper springs is the shape of the end of the spring with the radius having an arch and the flat being flat as you can see in the included pictures of the Radius End #SP-179275 and Flat End #e29SR.…

It can be a flat end as long as the flat part is long enough that it can reach past the wet bolt just fine. For your application it looks like the 4-Leaf Slipper Spring w/ Radius End for 2,000-lb Trailer Axles #e69SR is the closest that we have as…

Answer 9

Trailer axles are designed to have the bow in them that you described. This allows the axle to flatten out when it is loaded and have the proper camber. If you have axles that are rated for considerably more than what the trailer will ever have…

I did some checking and the hub/drum we offer that will work for you is the part #8-430-5UC3. This uses the same bearings as the 8-415 and will be an exact fit aside from the fact this is a non-ABS setup and the 8-415 came in an ABS setup and non-ABS…
