Double-eye leaf spring acts as part of a trailer's suspension system by providing an attachment point for a 4,000-lb axle. Spring flexes to resist shock and also ensures a smooth ride. Includes bushings with 9/16" inner diameter.

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.

Thank you Kimberly and to ALL YOUR WONDERFUL STAFF, for their wonderful job's packing, warehouse personnel, ABSOLUTELY EVERYONE IS FANTASTIC
The install was relatively straight forward, but it was a lot of work. Took longer than expected, but I cleaned up and painted a few parts in the process. The hardest part was jacking up the trailer and removing the old bolts from the hangers. I was a little hesitant to go from a 4 leaf spring to a 3 leaf spring, but etrailer was a great help in figuring it out. After thinking about it, I think the 3 leaf spring may actually be better because the individual springs are thicker, hence less likely to break.
Label the same but very different length and width the same one 3 springs one 4 springs with different length leafs but the fit and the same weight capacity
The springs were a perfect match up. Easy installation with the exception of my existing rusted bolts Prompt service, exact replacements would not hesitate to use etrailer for any parts for my three trailers
Pressed bronze bushing in them and grease them often
Leaf spring came in a day earlier than expected, looks to be better quality than what broke on my trailer. This would be my third order from e trailer, from my enclosed trailer to my camper they have been great!
Perfect replacement for sagging springs on 2004 Tahoe single axle boat trailer. They were a perfect fit.
Worked like I expected them to. Quick shipment. If the springs had been made in USA instead of China I would have given 5 stars.

Great
Excellent product arrived fast
Thanks kindly
Good quality at great price, Set was shown "in stock" and was shipped the day of the order. Arrived a couple of days after I ordered it. Will definitely consider this site in the future for my trailer needs.
The products fitted perfectly shipping was fast as usual however I ordered bronze bushings instead I received steel ones I ended using the steel bushings they worked out fine
These fit my trailer and appear to support the rated load.
Great service. When part of my order was going to be delayed they contacted me with options for other products so I could complete my repair
Parts are installed but untested as of today.

It DOES seem counter-intuitive, but the number of leaves in a leaf spring doesnt have any bearing on its weight rating. As long as youre using the properly rated replacement spring, youll be good to go!
