  • Recommendation for Replacement 6 Leaf Double-Eye Springs for my Trailer
  • Over time leaf springs will flatten making them a bit longer than their than their original length. To determine which 6-leaf double eye spring you need, we will need to know the weight capacity of the axles on your trailer. We currently have two different six leaf double-eye springs available. 6-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 4,500-lb Trailer Axles, # e27SR measures 26 inches long. 6-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 7,000-lb Trailer Axles, # e64SR, measures 24-7/8 inches long.

  • Availability of 20 Inch Long 3-Leaf Leaf Spring for Small Performance Utility Trailer
  • Thank you for providing that information. In addition to the length you will also want to know the capacity of your axle so you can choose the correct leaf spring replacement. Assuming this is an older leaf spring, you will also need to account for it sagging over time which will elongate the spring. For a replacement we have 2 possible options for you. The first is the 3-Leaf Double-Eye Spring # SP-072275. This is designed for 3,300 lb axles and measures 18-5/16" long. A leaf spring...

  • Replacement Slipper Spring To Upgrade Stock Malone Microsport Trailer Leaf Springs
  • From what I can find online, it looks like the 2-Leaf Slipper Spring w/ Radius End for 1,000-lb Trailer Axles - 24-5/8" Long, # SP-177275 is the best upgrade option for your malone Microsport trailer. This spring is 24-5/8 inches from the center of the eye to the end of the spring. It is 1-3/4 inches wide and has an axle capacity of 1000 lbs. I've attached a video review for you. The only other option for a similar size is the 3-Leaf Slipper Spring w/ Radius End for 1,500-lb Trailer...

  • How to Pick Out Replacement 4,000 lb Trailer Leaf Spring for Trailer
  • When measuring leaf springs you need to take the load off of the trailer so that the spring is not flexed at all to get an accurate measurement. Since typically old springs will stretch a bit you'll take that measurement and look for a replacement that's around 1/8 of an inch shorter with the correct axle capacity. Most likely the best 4,000 lb leaf spring option we have is the part # e57SR which measures 25-1/4 inches. You should verify the length of your springs unloaded first though.

  • How To Determine Which Leaf Springs Fit A 2020 Tracker Targa V18 Tandem Axle Trailer
  • I'd be happy to help you find new leaf springs for your 2020 Tracker Targa V18 Tandem Axle Trailer, but there's no database that says what length leaf springs you have or what capacity they need to be. The first thing you'll need to do is jack the trailer off the ground and allow the axle to hang so no weight is on it or the wheels/tires. Once that's done you'll need to measure the leaf springs from center to center of the spring eyes as shown in the included diagram. Second is you need...

  • Availability Of A 31-1/4 Long Double Eye Leaf Spring
  • I am sorry but we do not carry a 31-1/4" long double eye leaf spring. The closest we have is # UG34FR which is a 30" long 6-leaf spring for a 5,000 lb axle. Leaf springs can flex up to 1" when under a load, and your springs do look a bit on the worn side. So it is possible your springs were flexed slightly when you measured. The # UG34FR may come close to fitting, but it would not be a direct replacement by any means. Unfortunately this is the longest double eye leaf spring that we carry.

  • Do you have a spring that is 24 center to center and a reverse curve and closed eye?
  • We do not have a spring that fits that specifically. In our 3 leaf springs we have two that are closed eye on one end and reverse curve on the other. The # SP-039275 measures 30" center to end of spring and the # SP-178275 measures 22-3/4" center to center. If you are able to go up to the 4 leaf spring we have # SP-231275 which measures 24-5/8" center to center. If you want to go the 4 spring route the added capacity of the 4 leaf would bring you up to 2,500 lbs per spring which will...

  • Do you Carry Double Eye Leaf Springs Which are 23-1/4" Long for a Trailer?
  • While we do not have a double eye leaf spring that is 23-1/4" long we do have the 23-1/8" 3-Leaf Double-Eye Spring # e59SR. As leaf springs get older and sag the length of the eye to eye when relaxed will get longer since the spring will not always return to the original length. These springs are for 3,500lb axles and would use the U-Bolt Kit # CE23002 to attach to a 2-3/8" diameter axle.

  • Can Thicker Leaf Springs be Used to Raise Height of Trailer
  • Sometimes it is possible to install leaf springs that have more leaves but depending on what you already have installed you may only be able to add taller hangers like the 3-1/4" tall # 28-5. If you can give me some more information on how many leaves you currently have on your leaf springs and what the eye-to-eye measurement is as well as your axle weight rating I can see if we have leaf springs that you can use. I have also attached links to our selections of hangers and leaf springs...

  • Replacement Leaf Spring Bushing For a EZ Loader Trailer Slipper Spring Outside Diameter 1.02"

  • How to Pick Out 10,000 lb Axle Leaf Springs for Trailer
  • To pick out the correct length leaf spring requires you to measure the length of the spring from eye center to eye center without any weight on the trailer. Since you most likely have slipper springs since your axles are 10,000 lb you'd need to measure from eye center to the bend on the opposite end where the spring would fit in the hanger. Keep in mind that old springs will stretch a bit over time. I attached a link to a page that has all of the 10,000 lb axle leaf springs we offer for...

  • Replacement Leaf Spring Recommendation for 4,400 lb Trailer Axle
  • With trailer leaf spring replacement you want to go with at least the same weight capacity as the axle with going a little bit over being acceptable. Next you'll want to match the length as best as possible while keeping in mind that leaf springs tend to stretch a bit over time as they wear out. So based on that you'd want the leaf spring part # e27SR which is 26 inches long and has a 4,500 lb weight capacity.

  • We unfortunately do not have an exact replacement, but I do have a solution for you.

  • Locating Replacement Leaf Springs For a Atchison Welding 10 Bale Hay Trailer
  • Based on the information I could for a 10 bale Atchison Welding trailer I only see that it uses 7,000lb axles with slipper springs. The 5-Leaf Slipper Spring w/ Hook End # e74SR is currently the closest spring we have but it no near long enough at 26-5/8" when not compressed. At most it would span 28-1/6" when completely flat. If you have different weight capacity axles and can provide additional information on the springs I may be able to see if we have a different weight rating which...
