If you're replacing a busted or rusted-out spring on your trailer - or if you've decided to upgrade to dacromet to avoid rusted-out springs down the line - the first thing you'll need to do is measure your existing leaf springs. Take a look at the measurements above. If these dimensions - and the weight rating - match what you currently have, you should be good to go.
Remember, though, your leaf springs can flatten a bit over time. And if you're measuring your spring while your trailer is fully loaded, the overall length that you get might be a bit more than what you need a brand new, unloaded spring to measure.
Rustproof Your Trailer Suspension with Dacromet
As you travel across highways and backroads, your trailer's leaf springs are going to corrode and flake over time. This is especially true if you have a boat trailer that's regularly submerged in water. Completely rusted-out springs on trailers are all too common, and these dacromet springs are a great solution to that problem.
Longer-lasting springs will save you money and are great for any trailer, but they are a must have for folks who live or play by the water. If you live on the coast, you're probably always rinsing the saltwater off of your trailer to try and keep rust at bay. If you're really worried, you might've even tried to repaint your springs or spray them down with rust inhibitors. But upgrading to these dacromet-coated leaf springs could cut down on or eliminate all of that maintenance, leaving you more time to spend out on the water.
Rust-resistant coatings are graded according to a salt spray rating. Basically, this rating shows the amount of time it takes for a material to show signs of corrosion when exposed to pure, continuous salt spray. We conducted our own salt spray test and found that this dacromet coating lasts up to 744 hours before it begins to deteriorate. Compare that to some other dacromet coatings out there that are rated at just 300 hours - or zinc coatings that don't last for even that long - and you can be sure these springs will last.
Slipper Spring Basics
Leaf springs, as you probably know, make up an important part of your trailer's suspension. Their main purpose is to absorb road shock as you travel, as well as allow your axle(s) to move independently of the rest of the trailer.
To mount this leaf spring, you'll need hangers welded onto your trailer frame - which you probably already have in place - as well as shackle straps and a suspension bolt. It's a good idea to replace your existing straps and bolt while you're under there working on things because they tend to wear out quickly. One thing that could help keep them from wearing out too fast would be upgrading to galvanized or zinc-plated hardware. Doing so will boost the corrosion resistance and, therefore, the longevity of your trailer.
We also always recommend replacing both of your springs at the same time because it's not unusual for leaf springs to sag and elongate over time. If you replace just the one, there's a good chance that it won't match your existing spring on the opposite side of your trailer, and that can mess up your alignment.

See what our Experts say about this etrailer Trailer Leaf Springs
- How Does the Single-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit #APS6SE Work with 1.75 Inch Slipper SpringsTo assemble a slipper spring suspension system, you'll need several components: the hangers and bolts (included in the kit APS6SE); slipper springs, such as the 1.75 inch # e33SR; spring seats such as # TRSS300; and a U-bolt mounting kit such as # # APUBR-8. The 1.75 inch springs attach the same as 2 inch springs would. The hangers attach the springs to your trailer frame. The U-bolt plates attach the springs to the axle. The spring seat welds onto your axle to provide additional support....
view full answer... - Will Slipper Spring for 4,300-lb Trailer Axles Work For Axle Rated For 2600-Lb AxleI did some research and for a 2-inch square axle the rating can be between 2,200 to 3,500 lbs. It sounds like the tag on your trailer axle falls within that range. The 4-Leaf Slipper Spring, part # e33SR you asked about is designed to work with trailer axles up to 4,300-lbs. This can result in a little stiffer ride but the dimensions are most important so if the mounting dimensions are a match for your trailer, # e33SR will work great for you.
view full answer... - Should a Nylon Bushing Be Used With the Open Eye End Of Slipper Spring # e33SRA Nylon Bushing # TRBU11561 is not required to be used on the open end of the 4-Leaf Slipper Spring # e33SR. Since the bushing is not going to be fully encased it stands that under the weight of the trailer it will fail and break apart more easily. I recommend spraying some LubeMaster Dry Silicone Spray # RM-747 on the open end bolt and contact areas of the spring. This will provide lubrication to the parts without attracting dirt.
view full answer... - What is Width of Slipper Spring part # e33SRThe width of the Slipper Spring part # e33SR that you referenced is for sure 1-3/4 inches.
view full answer... - Horse Trailer Slipper Spring Recommendation that is 1-3/4 inches WideWhat you described is a slipper spring. We carry a few different slipper springs that are 1-3/4 inches wide. I attached a link to a page that has all of them. You will want to know the axle capacity you would need and the overall length. With that info we can set you up with the right springs. For a 4,000 lb axle for example, you would want the part # e33SR which is 26-1/4 inches long.
view full answer... - New Brake Assemblies, Hub/Drums, Brake Lines, and Bearing Buddy for Trailer with 3,500 lb AxleFor as trashed as those brake assemblies are I am impressed with how spotless that spindle is! Based on the bearing numbers you mentioned you have a #84 spindle and the hub part # AKHD-545-35-G-K is correct. Since this its galvanized it's a really great option as it will fight corrosion. The flexible brake line kits like the part # 18SI-BLKIT is what I would go with. They are just as durable as anything else and a lot easier to install. The brake assemblies # AKFBBRK-35R-D and # AKFBBRK-35L-D...

- Can Slipper Spring Replace Existing Double Eye Leaf SpringYou could replace a double-eye leaf spring with a slipper spring like the # e33SR spring you'd looked at, but it's recommended that you remove the existing rear hanger (assuming it's a single axle trailer) with a rear hanger like # 115706S as your existing rear hanger isn't designed for use with slipper springs. You'll also want to choose a spring with sufficient capacity to handle the weight of the boat and trailer. You can choose a higher rated spring than your existing one, but be aware...
view full answer... - How to Determine Correct Replacement Slipper SpringsI can help you determine how to figure out the right replacement slipper springs, though I'm not 100% certain what you mean by "where can I find how much space or clearance is required." I think you are asking if there is a standard amount a slipper spring will elongate over time, and the answer is unfortunately no, as it all depends on the amount of weight on the spring, the amount of time it was used, the quality of the spring, etc. I would take into account an inch or so of your slipper...

- Recommendation for Leaf Springs on a Boat TrailerGood news, I can help you pick out the leaf springs needed to replace your current ones. It sounds like you might need leaf springs like this # e33SR. They have a slightly lower capacity than you specified, but they match the length and leaves of your current springs. I would verify the axle capacity of your trailer to make sure the 2,050 lbs. weight rating will work for you. I have linked a Help Article for your convenience. If this spring does not meet your needs please send me a...
view full answer... - Installation of Slipper Spring with Open Eye EndSlipper Springs like # e33SR do not use a bolt and bushing for the open eye end of the spring. It connects directly to the hanger using a slipper spring hanger kit.
view full answer... - Replacement Slipper Leaf Spring Recommendation for 1985 Load Rite TrailerFor a slipper spring that is 1-3/4 inches wide the highest capacity option we have is the # e33SR. This is a 4,300 lb axle spring that measures 26-1/4 inches from eye to end of spring. I attached a picture that has all of the dimensions of the spring listed for you to check out and compare to your current spring.

- Is It Normal For Open Eye Spring To Hit Frame Of Trailer When Loaded?Thanks for the picture! The spring shouldn't hit the frame like yours does in the picture, so the correct solution would be to either add a longer front hanger or using a shorter spring. The correct replacement hanger will be dependent on the width of your spring. If you have a 1-3/4" wide spring the longest hanger we offer is the CE Smith Front Hanger Bracket for Trailer Slipper Springs # CE14016G which is 2-1/4" tall. If you can tell me the width of your current spring and the height...

- Recommended Replacement 26-1/4" Slipper SpringThanks for the picture! I have something close to your 26" slipper springs. It is possible to switch to a two eye leaf spring or even go down to a four leaf spring with a higher capacity. If you wanted to switch it up to a two eye leaf spring I would need to know the distance from the center of the two bolts. You can email me back that measurement if you decide to make the change. The 26-1/4" Long 4-Leaf Slipper Spring w/ Open Eye End item # e33SR with a protective coating is the closest...

- Replacing Boat Trailer 3-Leaf Slipper Springs to Correct for Reduced Wheel/Fender ClearanceAxle capacity is usually found on a plate or sticker affixed to the axle itself. 3-leaf slipper springs in the 1-3/4-inch width you referenced can be seen on the included link. Since well-worn springs like yours tend to become elongated I suspect your existing springs when new were this length and that your axle is rated for 1500-lbs. In some instances it may be possible to find higher-rated springs that will fit on your trailer but substituting these will not necessarily increase the...
view full answer... - Can a Single Axle Boat Trailer Be Switched From a Slipper Spring Suspension to Double EyeTo switch to a Double Eye Spring # e48SR you would need to also change out your Rear Hanger # 30-20 since you will be adding Shackles # K71-358-00. This is required since the rear hanger has to be 1-3/4" wide on the outer versus at least 1-3/4" wide on the inner like you get with a Slipper Spring Hanger # CES83FR for a Slipper Spring # e33SR.
view full answer... - Should Trailer Leaf Springs Have Shackles on Front and BackHey Richard, so yeah having shackles on the front and back of the leaf spring would be incorrect by normal standards and I think would potentially be dangerous as it would allow the axle to move forward and back independent of the trailer and would pretty easily cause sway. Since most likely the hangers are the same height and are at an odd spacing I would go ahead and replace the hangers and shackles with a kit like the part # APS4. I don't know your axle capacity though so to pick out...
view full answer... - Availability of 4,300 lb Axle Slipper Spring for TrailerWhen picking out a leaf spring you really want to base it on the capacity of the axle and the length more so than the amount of leafs in the spring pack. If you can get me the axle capacity of your trailer and how long you need I can get you the best recommendation. If you have a 4,300 lb axle and need a 26 inch long spring though the part # e33SR is your best option overall and would work great.
view full answer... - How To Convert Trailer With Slipper Springs To Double Eye SpringsI have a replacement option for you, but the only slipper spring we offer that is 1-3/4" wide and is 26-1/4" long is the 4-Leaf Slipper Spring w/ Open Eye End for 4,300-lb Trailer Axles - 26-1/4" Long # e33SR. Since you mentioned that you don't think the trailer has a very high axle rating this would not be a good option as if it is over rated it would cause a very harsh ride. To change over to double eye springs you would need to find the axle rating, and since you mentioned that you...
view full answer... - How to Get Clearance for Slipper Spring Compressing on Top of Wheel WellTo answer your first question a double-eye spring would not compress less than your current 4-Leaf Slipper Spring w/ Open Eye End # e33SR and I do not recommend going with a higher-rated spring than what your trailer is rated for as that will make your ride very stiff and unpleasant. The only real options you have to get more clearance are to raise the fender if you can or add one that has more height (I have linked our selection of fenders for you to check out) or to cut off your current...
view full answer... - Slipper Spring Recommendation for a Jon Boat TrailerBased on the dimensions you listed I think the part # e33SR would fit. It's 26-14 inches long, has 13-1/4 from the eye to the mid point of the spring and has an overall height of 3-1/2 inches. Each spring is rated at 2,050 lbs. For a lighter rated spring with very similar dimensions that would work check out part # e29SR. It has a 1,000 lb capacity. It doesn't have the hook at then of the spring, but it would work much better. Sounds like you were already planning on doing it, but you...
view full answer... - Correct Bushing and Bolt for 4-Leaf Slipper Spring # e33SRThe 4-Leaf Slipper Spring # e33SR that you referenced actually comes included with the nylon bushing but if a replacement is needed then the 9/16 inch # TRBU11561 that you mentioned would be the correct size and will work perfectly. The correct bolt for this setup is the Redline Spring-Eye Bolt # 166079 that features a 9/16 inch diameter and 3-1/2 inch length.
view full answer... - What Size Bushings Does the Trailer Slipper Spring Part # e33SR UseThe bushings of the 4-Leaf Spring part # e33SR have a 9/16 hole diameter. If you are looking for a replacement bushing you would want the part # TRBU11561. This bushing has a 9/16 inner diameter and an outer diameter of 1.02 inches.
view full answer... - Replacement Leaf Spring Needed with One Open End on a Bayliner TrailerIt sounds like the 4-Leaf Slipper Spring w/ Open Eye End # e33SR could be what you are looking for. Over time leaf springs can stretch so this one being 1/4" shorter than your current leaf spring is most likely correct. This leaf spring is rated for a 4,300 lb axle and comes with 4 leafs. The amount of leafs isn't really important since you are simply looking for the weight capacity to be right at or slightly more than what your axle is rated for. The only real issue that I see is this...
view full answer... - Looking for a C-Hook Leaf Spring That Measures 26-1/2 Inches LongWe have the 4-Leaf Spring C-Hook Spring, # e33SR, that measures 26-1/2 inches from center of the bolt eye to the edge of the C-hook. See attached picture diagram. Unfortunately, we do not have a spring with only 3 leafs in this style leaf spring.
