Expert Answers about Chevrolet Trailer Leaf Springs


  • Replacement Leaf Spring for a 2017 Heartland Landmark 365 Oshkosh
  • Hey Robert, I'd be more than happy to help you find the correct leaf spring replacements for your 2017 Heartland Landmark 365 Oshkosh! According to my research your trailer should be equipped with 7K axles so the 6-Leaf Double-Eye Spring # e64SR should be what you need. This measures 24-7/8" long (center eye to center eye) and if you lift your trailer by the frame to take the weight off of your current leaf springs you'll be able to confirm whether this length matches what you need or...

  • Replacement Leaf Spring Recommendation for a 5,200 lb Lippert Axle
  • Hey David, thanks for reaching out! To replace the leaf spring that fits with your 5,200 lb Lippert axle you likely need the 26" Long 6-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 6,000-lb Trailer Axles # e94SR, but you'll need to measure from center-eye to center-eye on your current leaf springs when they don't have a load on them to ensure this length matches close to what you have. If you find you have a different length, please let me know what you have and I'll be happy to make a different recommendation! Please...

  • Why Would Trailer Leaf Springs Break A Lot
  • Persistent leaf spring breaking is typically caused by a leaf spring that isn't rated high enough so you might verify that the springs you are installing are rated high enough. And you might also verify at a scale that your trailer doesn't happen to weigh more than what you thought it was. It can also be that the roads you are travelling on are uniquely rough or if the springs are just of a very low quality.

  • Replacement Leaf Springs For Flattened Out Springs Measuring 26-1/4" Eye-To-Eye
  • Hey John, The etrailer 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 3,500-lb Trailer Axles # e54SR is the exact same as the SP-212275. Depending on the severity of the flatness the # e54SR could be the correct fit. You can try taking your tape measure and going from the hanger bolt over to the shackle strap bolt and see where 25-1/8" will have the shackle straps sit. With the springs flattened out the shackles straps should be sitting really close towards the center instead of forming a 'W' shape. If...

  • Info Needed to Pick Out Replacement Axle, Leaf Springs, Hub/Drum, and Brake Assemblies for Trailer
  • To pick out an axle you'd need to know the length of the axle from hub face to hub face as well as the distance between spring seat centers and the capacity of the axle. For leaf springs you'd need to know the axle capacity and the current length of the springs. For the hub that is also based on the axle capacity and the trailer wheel bolt pattern. Once you know the correct hub/drums you'd be able to find the correct brake assemblies.

  • Will SumoSprings Fit a 2022 Keystone Bullet 1700BH With an Offset Leaf Spring
  • Thanks for the photos, Andy! I love the SumoSpring kits and what they have to offer, but with the way your suspension was manufactured with that offset I don't see a way for any of the leaf spring suspension enhancement options to fit properly. With that being said, we can still upgrade your equalizers to help provide better suspension performance if your 2022 Keystone Bullet 1700BH is using standard equalizers. If you measure the horizontal bolt hole spacing (center to center) along...

  • Will The RoadActive Suspension Work With 2" Lift Block On a 2018 Toyota Tundra?
  • Since the RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit # RAS34FR only connects to the rear leaf spring on your 2018 Toyota Tundra it will still work with the 2" block you have between the leaf spring and the axle.

  • 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...

  • Will Firestone Air Springs Fit A 2020 Toyota Tundra With A B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch
  • Hey Kevin, The Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2445 are unfortunately not compatible with your B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1257 because it has a mounting bolt right where the spring would need to sit. In order to help support your suspension while towing you'll need to go with an upgrade that doesn't contact this bolt so I recommend the RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit # RAS34FR. This system clamps onto the leaf springs to...

  • Recommended Replacement Shackles and Wet Bolts for a 2020 Grand Design Solitude 380FL
  • Sorry about your troubles, I would be worried about the other ones failing too. To replace the shackles and wet bolts you will want to use the MORryde Suspension Upgrade Kit with either 2-1/4" Strap Kit item # MR46ZR or a 3-1/8" Strap Kit item # MR76ZR. You will need to measure the length of your current shackles and pick the kit closest to them. As far as replacing your leaf springs and equalizers go there's no better time to do it if you're already replacing your shackles and wet bolts....

  • Replacing Leaf Springs On A Vintage 1965 Streamline Empress
  • Hey Skip good to hear from you again. The # e97SR leaf spring that you mentioned is going to be our best option for replacing the springs on your 1965 Streamline Empress. All of the 2" wide leaf springs that we carry are going to be slipper springs. A 2" wide double eye spring really is a thing of the past so going to a 1-3/4" spring will be the only option if you want new springs. The MORryde wet bolt kit and the equalizer that we discussed are designed to work with a 1-3/4" wide spring,...

  • Suspension Upgrade for 2020 Wolf Pup 16FQ
  • You're very limited on suspension upgrades with a single axle on your 2020 Wolf Pup 16FQ. Since you're worried about suspension component failure, I would add the Dexter Heavy Duty Suspension Upgrade Kit for Single Axle Trailers # K71-358-00. This includes 1/2" thick steel shackle straps, wet bolts, and bronze bushings so you know the components will last. This is one of the best upgrades you can make on any trailer. Outside of that, adding the SumoSprings is going to be the best option....

  • Replacement Suspension Components For A 2019 Freedom Express 275BHS
  • Hi Steve, When replacing suspension components it's important to replace each component with matching sizes to keep the spacing right for the suspension to travel. You'll want to lift the trailer on one side by the frame and remove the wheels to get better access to the suspension and then you can measure each component based on the diagrams below. Once we have some more information we can start looking for the correct replacements.

  • Choosing Between Lippert Equa-Flex Or Roadmaster Comfort Ride For 2018 Grand Design Momentum 351M
  • Personally Russ, if you are planning to keep your 2018 Grand Design Momentum 351M toy hauler and want to benefit from a better ride then upgrading to the Roadmaster Comfort Ride Leaf Spring Suspension Kit # RM-2460-2570 makes the most sense. If you choose to keep the Equa-Flex # LC145546 system you can go with the heavier springs but just know that it will likely wear the equalizer even faster since the springs will not flex as much under the weight. This means the Equa-Flex will actually...

  • Upgraded Trailer Axle Solution for 4x8 Harbor Freight Trailer
  • We don't have a standard axle that fits based on the spring seat center dimension you listed so your best option would be the Timbren Axle Less kit part # ASR35HDS02 which has a 3,500 lb capacity, a 4 inch lift built into it, and also attaches directly to the trailer frame and uses a rubber spring instead of leaf springs.

  • Will the MORryde ALLTREK 4000 Equalizers Provide a Smoother Ride for a Boat Trailer
  • Hey Ken, thanks for reaching out! The MORryde ALLTREK 4000 Shock Absorbing Equalizers, 33" Wheelbase # MR89DR or 35" Wheelbase # MR29DR, are a good upgrade to a standard leaf spring suspension and will help to provide a better ride quality for your trailer and boat. There are definitely better suspension upgrades like the Roadmaster Comfort Ride Leaf Spring Suspension Kit w/ Shock Absorbers # RM-2460-2570, but this is a really big suspension upgrade so it is priced accordingly. I will...

  • Lippert Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers For a 2022 Astoria 3273RLP 5TH Wheel Camper
  • The Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers # LC279688 you found are going to be the correct equalizers for your 2022 Astoria 3273RLP. You will also want to upgrade to one of the wet bolt kits from the list below as these will allow the equalizers to move more easily to better do their job. You will first want to measure the length of your equalizers from center of bolt holes to get the length and then verify if you have the correct track adjustable suspension which means you have adjustable discs...

  • Replacement Leaf Spring for 2021 Grand Design Imagine 3250BH
  • Hey Philip so while we don't carry the exact spring you are looking for it does match the specs of the # e59SR so this would be a great solution. It's correct length at 23-1/8 inches and is for a 3,500 lb trailer axle like you have as well.

  • Will A RoadActive Suspension Kit Help Reduce Sag On A 2005 Ford F-250 With A 6" Lift
  • Hey Thomas, Yes, the RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit # RAS3611-HD would help with the loads you're hauling around in your 2005 F-250. This attaches to the leaf springs so it'll be compatible even though you have a 6" lift. The best part of this upgrade is that it requires no maintenance and won't affect your unloaded ride quality like other enhancements can. This will help reduce sagging which will keep your F-250 closer to level which allows for better handling...

  • Recommended Suspension Upgrade For A 2019 41' Montana Fifth Wheel With 2 7K Dexter Axles
  • Hello Jim thank you for your question. Out of the options you are considering, both will be solid suspension upgrades for your 2019 Keystone 5th wheel, especially if all of the suspension is still stock. I do really like the Roadmaster Comfort Ride Leaf Spring Suspension Kit # RM-2460-2580 as the best option for this application. It will directly address both of your main concerns. The 4,000 lb rated springs will be a solid upgrade as far as weight capacity, and the comfort ride shocks...
