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.After reading the bottom of the box, I felt responsible for leaving a review.
The website was extremely easy to use. I selected the axle weight and how many springs I had in my pack. It narrowed it down to 3 options all multiple inches apart.
I measured a good leaf spring on my trailer, and was able to select the perfect spring the first time.
I was so excited how easy it was when I simply took out the bolts and replaced the spring in less than a hour!
I highly recommend this website and all of there parts.
Box was delivered with a corner opened. Missing washers to separately ordered U-bolt kits. Leaf springs were packaged separately within the larger box and arrived OK.
Made a nice little trailer to haul wife’s golf cart!
Easy replacement of worn springs. Seem to be holding up well
Received product very quickly, packaging was amazing! Individual wrapped, and individually boxed, springs looked incredible!
Great web site that showed me the springs I needed. Great price and super quick shipping that delivered the leaf springs a day before it was due. No doubt would buy again from etrailer…
These leaf springs are exactly what my trailer needed. Living in Northeast Nevada we have many months of cold weather. Salt from the roads build up and rusted out my springs. With the Dacromet coating I'm hoping this will protect them longer.
The leaf springs look good not great. I bought the set with the Dacromet rust resistant finish, but when I opened the packing you could see spots of rust coming through the finish, so I’m not sure how rust resistant they are. The measurements on the leaf springs are spot on.
Order arrived on time and was a perfect fit. Thanks to our sales rep Joanne K for her diligence and cooperation!!!
Shopping was fast and customer service great. They helped decide on the appropriate part and everything went smoothly
Working out great
Perfect fit, definitely needed them.
Great product at a great price.
As advertised, works well.
Springs were exact fit, excellent coating and over packaged to protect them in transit. They even arrived a day early. These appear to be slightly beefier that’s the originals which have the same weight rating.
Fit as should and all went well with in stallation
Parts arrived very fast! William was a pleasure to deal with and knows his product!
Nice....looks good....haven't put them on yet
The leaf springs fit perfectly.The measurements perfect.packing & shipping spot on.I would recommend again and again.
Excellent product. Arrived on time
Great Communication and Fast Shipping would recommend to a friend.
Product is great
I ordered some stuff and the order was acknowledged immediately. I waited a few days and it showed up. The order was correct and my card wasn't charged until the order shipped. Everything was exactly as it should be. Can't do much better than that.
Fit perfectly.
