Overall dimensions

Note: To ensure proper axle alignment and suspension performance, leaf springs should always be replaced in pairs.


Leaf springs are an integral part of your trailer suspension system. The leaf springs provide the attachment points for your trailer's axle, suspending it from the frame of your trailer. Each spring flexes to absorb road shock as you travel, allowing the axle to move somewhat independently of the rest of your trailer. This helps to reduce wear and tear on the trailer and also ensures a smooth ride.


Double-eye leaf springs attach to hangers that are welded onto your trailer. One end of this spring will attach directly to the hanger with a suspension bolt. The other end will attach to shackle straps that are suspended from a hanger. These straps allow the spring to move and pivot so that it can better compensate for uneven pavement. If you have a tandem- or triple-axle trailer, the shackle straps will be attached to the equalizer that connects multiple springs.


To mount this spring, you will need hangers, shackle straps, and suspension bolts. If you are simply replacing a spring, you may still have hangers welded onto your trailer. You should, however, replace your shackle straps because they are usually the first component to wear out. You may choose to replace old suspension bolts as well. It is recommended that you replace the other leaf spring in your setup at the same time. Because springs can sag and elongate as they wear, this new spring may not exactly match the old one, and the alignment of your trailer could be affected.


If you are fabricating a trailer, you will need to purchase a hanger kit for installation. To determine the type of hanger kit that you need, you must know the specific type of leaf spring that you have, as well as your axle capacity. Depending on the hanger kits used with them, springs can be configured to work for single-, tandem- or triple-axle applications. Hangers and other suspension components can also be purchased separately if there isn't a complete kit that works for your setup.

by:

I installed these springs without any problems. The original springs on my camper were 4-leaf. These are 3-leaf. I'm hoping that will not be a problem. Etrailer has always provided great customer service and well-built products.



by:

We like the product quality and appreciate that it is made in America!



by:

The spring is great the only issue is I ordered one instead of 2. I wish you guys sold a entire axle/spring/hardware kit



by:

Customer service was great! They helped me get the right size and delivery was right on time with what they told me. Product was easy to install and came with everything I needed.



by:

After a lot of searching I found this company that let me find out exactly the part number for the suspension springs of my Viking pop-up camper. Had a broken spring and tried some local springs but was never satisfied as the springs in a bump would lock-up. Now it trails normal instead of jumping excessive.

Very well. With these springs the trailer is less jumpy as it was with store bought springs. Makes a differwence in towing.



by:

Very quick service and just what I orde red.



by:

My 4x6 Homesteader Trailer was sagging and the tires when loaded were kissing the inside of the fenders.
I called Tim at etrailer.com and he was helpful in locating the correct 3 leaf 20” leaf springs with all hardware.
When removing the old springs I noticed one of the Eye brackets was tearing off the frame so first we had to take a piece of steal plate and weld the new piece in place, not to take any chances we welded the other side also.

The new hardware and Leafs all went into place just fine and now my trailer is sitting were it should be.



by:

The customer service was outstanding. Thru the process of identifying what I needed to ordering and delivering the products I dealt with multiple Customer Service Representatives (CSR). Everyone of them were helpful and courteous. I really appreciated the follow up after my initial contact with CSR. Once the product was ordered I was kept up to date on the status of the order thru regular emails from an etrailer CSR. The parts arrived as they promised, and a CSR even followed up with me after that. Great service, keep it up!



by:

All products were delivered promptly and were as expected. I already completed half of the trailer leaf spring replacements (one side) and will wrap-up tonight. All is going well, and I appreciate that the product descriptions on etrailer's website were very detailed (dimension, how to measure) such that I had confidence that I was ordering just what I needed. Great products and service.



by:

The new leaf springs fit perfect and made my old camp trailer set level again. It also tracks nicely again on the road.



by:

These springs arrived exactly as ordered and fit fine. Shipping took an extra 5 days due to problems with the carrier - but no fault of etrailer. My only suggestion would be to add the dimensions to the etrailer web page.



by:

I am always more than satisfied with buying any product from etrailer.com. Never have to worry about paying too much, delivery is always prompt and the information supplied on each product I buy is the best I have seen anywhere I've made a purchase online. No need to search other sites.



by:

Exactly what I needed, fit perfectly on my boat trailer. There is many different sizes so make sure you measure good so you can order the correct ones.



by:

Leaf spring dimensions exactly as stated. Good website to easily find what you need. Shipped day after order was placed and received good communications on delivery.



by:

Wonderful customer service assistance with the technical side of the suspension parts I required.



by:

This was an amazing interaction: the woman who helped me couldn’t have been nicer and got me to the correct parts, they arrived within 36 hrs., and everything fit!
Wow! Just about perfect. Thanks.



by:

Great service. Got here a day earlier than stated. Seemed like a little overkill on the box size but no complaints since shipping was free.



by:

Got just what we needed and got it fast!



by:

Ordering was easy. Delivery was precise. The part worked well for us and we’ll have to see about how long it will last.



by:

Great customer service. As a return customer, the service and ease of ordering and receiving my order was perfect.



by:

I would order again from them



by:

Faster than expected delivery and great fit.

Thank you fast delivery

See what our Experts say about this Dexter Trailer Leaf Springs

  • How Does Trailer Leaf Spring Get Measured to Pick Out Replacement
    When measuring a trailer leaf spring to pick out a replacement you'd need to measure from spring eye center to spring eye center with no weight on the spring. For example, the Dexter spring part # 072-017-00 would be correct replacement if the axle was a 2,000 lb axle and the measurement was right at 20-1/4 inches. You do need to factor in a bit of spring stretch since they tend to flatten over time. Around 1/4 inch is about correct.

  • How to Choose Correct Leaf Spring Length for 1958 Spartan Trailer
    When choosing a replacement leaf spring for your trailer suspension you will want to choose a leaf spring that is compatible with your hangers (double-eye or slipper spring) and that has the proper axle weight capacity rating. Because leaf springs tend to flatten out as they get older and more worn out (making them longer), you're going to find that your measurements aren't the exact length of springs you'll use; it's most important to get close to the length while using the correct axle...

  • Availability of 2 inch Wide Trailer Leaf Springs
    The 2 inch wide leaf springs aren't nearly as common as the 1-3/4 inch wide springs which are basically the industry standard now. We do have one 2 inch wide spring though with the part # 072-017-00 which is for a 2,000 lb axle and is 20-1/4 inches wide. If you need a different length/capacity let me know. It might be the simplest to just go with 1-3/4 inch wide spring which would require new hangers.

  • Replacement Leaf Springs for 3500 Pound Axle
    For a double-eye leaf spring supporting at least a 3500 pound axle, the closest leaf springs I have to what you have requested is the, # e59SR spring, 23-1/8" - 3500 pound, # e54SR spring, 25-1/8", 3500 pound, Dexter # 072-017-00 spring, 21" - 2000 pound. One option may be to cut the hangars from the current location and move them to fit an available spring size. If that is the case, you could use the Leaf Spring # e59SR spring measuring 23-1/8" eye center to eye center. (A longer...

  • Replacement Leaf Spring for 2018 Grand Design 2400BH
    Since your 2018 Grand Design 2400BH has 3,500 lb axles and your worn out flat spring measures 27 inches what you'd want for a replacement leaf spring would be the part # e54SR which is for 3,500 lb axles and has a 25-1/8 inch length.

  • How to Determine Correct Replacement Axle and Leaf Springs
    We can give it a shot! First, for the correct replacement axle for your trailer you will need to know the dimensions of your current axle's hub face to hub face and spring center to spring center; the other thing you need to know is the weight capacity of the axle you need, which should match or exceed the GVWR of your trailer. For example, the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam # T20BTR-6048 has a 2,000 lb capacity and measures 60 inches from hub face to hub face and 48 inches from spring center...

  • What Info Is Needed to Pick Out Replacement Leaf Springs for Trailer

    Thank you for providing that information. In addition to the length you will also want to know the capacity of your axle so you can choose the correct leaf spring replacement. Assuming this is an older leaf spring, you will also need to account for it sagging over time which will elongate the spring. For a replacement we have 2 possible options for you. The first is the 3-Leaf Double-Eye Spring # SP-072275. This is designed for 3,300 lb axles and measures 18-5/16" long. A leaf spring...

  • Replacement Leaf Spring to Replace Spring that Measures 21-3/8 inch
    We have a 21 inch long Dexter trailer leaf spring with part # 072-017-00 which would work great for you assuming the axle capacity matches what this was designed for. This leaf spring is for 2,000 lb trailer axles. As leaf springs break in/wear out they tend to stretch so yours being 21-3/8 inch would match great with this new spring that is 21 inches.

  • Are Dexter Axle Leaf Springs Made in the USA
    According to Dexter Axle their leaf springs are made in the US so I've linked our selection of those for you to filter through. If you can let me know the length of leaf spring you're needing to replace I'd be more than happy to see if we have one that fits your application! For example, the Dexter Axle Double Eye Leaf Spring # 072-017-00 measures 20-1/4" center-eye to center-eye when no tension is placed on it.

  • Ideas for Smoothing Out Suspension of Nash 16t Travel Trailer
    As long as you for sure will never exceed 4,000 lbs of total trailer weight you could drop down to a lower capacity leaf spring for a 2,000 lb axle. For that we have the part # 072-017-00 which is 21 inches long or part # e84SR for 20-3/8 inches. Or another option you could go with is adding a shock kit to the axles like with the part # LC281255. This will do a great job smoothing out the ride quality as it would slow down the movement of the suspension. This fits 2-3/8 inch diameter...

  • Replacement Leaf Springs For A Dexter 2,200 lb Axle
    The Dexter Double Eye Leaf Spring # 072-017-00 you mentioned is intended to be used with a 2,000 lb axle. It can be a suitable replacement for your 2,200 lb axle, as long as the gross trailer weight does not exceed 2,000 lbs. You will also want to make sure the replacement spring is identical in length to the current spring. There is no way for us to know the length of the current springs based on an axle number or VIN. The best thing to do is to jack up the trailer and measure the eye-to-eye...

The 3-Leaf Double-Eye Spring # e59SR will measure 23-1/8 inches from eye to eye, and the 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring # SP-210275 will measure 27 inches from eye to eye. Both of these option are rated for a 3,500 pound axle and will definitely...

  • Recommended Leaf Springs and Hangers To Replace 2 x 21 Springs On Trailer
    I have a complete replacement hanger and spring option for you, but unfortunately we do not offer any slipper leaf springs that are 2" wide x 21" long like that is on your trailer. In addition the spring manufacturers I checked with do not make such a spring. Your best bet is going with the Single-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for Double-Eye Springs - 3-1/4" Front, 1-1/4" Rear # APS4 with two leaf springs # e57SR. You will need to remove your current hangers and have these hangers welded on...
