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.
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.
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.

Tired of rusty, flaking running gear on your trailer? Need more corrosion protection for launching your boat or towing over heavily treated roads? Upgrade your suspension with this long-lasting, supremely rust-resistant leaf spring.I have not pulled our travel trailer at the time of this review. However I don't expect any issues once I move my travel trailer.
Installation was fairly easy since I installed a similar size last year. Representative was helpful and understood my dilemma and tried to get the product to me as quickly and as cost effective as possible.
While waiting for the product to arrive I decided to buy another one at a local rv parts as a backup, but they sold me the wrong size. The told me it was a 26 inch, but it was about an 1/2 inch to long, and it made a difference when installing it. The fit did not look right so I took it off and installed etrailer's leaf spring and it worked just like the previous year.
What a wonderful experience in dealing with Etrailer on this project. I Love the springs and the customer service was absolutely incredible. They took what could have been a nightmare and turned it into a great ending!
Received material in a timely manner and everything fit! Great job etrailer!
Installed perfectly. After 1 year still look and function great.
Good product. Bolted right on with ease to my tracker trailer. You need to purchase the longer u bolts because the stock ones aren’t long enough. Made a big difference in ride quality of the trailer.
I ordered a set of springs that were not adequate for my application. Called and asked about returning them and getting the 4,000lb set. The answer was yes and the new ones were shipped that day on a Sunday and arrived here in Texas a couple days later. The springs fit perfect and can handle the load quite easily. What a seemless and efficient process; especially Allison K for taking care of me!! Thank you to her and everyone at etrailer for having superior customer service. Keep up the great work.
Arrived early and coating seems very durable. Huge upgrade over the stock springs on my boat trailer!
Great quality, packaged very well!!!!
Worked awsome no more banging the frame and rides very well
You delivered what I ordered. Everything fit perfectly. Amy did a great job, thanks
I don’t normally write reviews but I got to say that these guys did an excellent job my leaf spring came 2 days early and that’s very important to keep my buisness running, thank you guys
