Expert Answers about Chevrolet Trailer Leaf Springs


  • Recommended 4-Leaf Spring Replacement for a 1963 Silver Streak TT
  • I'd recommend going with the 4-leaf springs like the 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 4,000-lb Trailer Axles # e22YR. This leaf spring measures 26" from the center of the spring eye to spring eye, has a 4K capacity, and has a spring width of 1-3/4". Going to a 4-spring setup will give you a slightly less-stiff ride which I feel is a nice upgrade to any trailer. It's also important that leaf springs are replaced in pairs to ensure proper axle alignment and suspension performance.

  • Can I Upgrade My Leaf Springs To A Higher Weight Capacity
  • Yes, you can upgrade to The 3-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 4,000-lb Trailer Axles - 25-1/4 inch Long # e57SR. Going up in weight capacity on your leaf springs will not increase the capacity of your trailer. Using springs that are rated higher than the load applied to them with result in a rougher ride. Be sure to replace both springs on the same axle at the same time. The springs have a sturdy steel construction and the nylon bushings are included. I attached a review video link below.

  • Parts Needed To Replace Slipper Springs On 2002 Coleman Santa Fe Camper With Double Eye Leaf Springs

  • How To Correctly Choose Leaf Springs For A Double Axle Camper
  • When choosing the correct replacement leaf spring for your trailer you will first need to remove the old leaf spring that you currently have on your trailer and measure the unloaded length as well as the construction of the spring (double eye or slipper).

  • Can I Replace my Leaf Spring with a Stronger One
  • You most certainly can put a stronger leaf spring on your trailer. Just keep in mind that it could very well make your trailer ride a little more rigid and won't be as smooth depending on what you upgrade to. We do have a variety of leaf springs that I have attached for you to filter through. You will want to choose one that has the desired weight capacity and center eye measurements that match your current leaf springs. For example, the 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 3,500-lb Trailer...

  • Replacement Leaf Spring Needed for a Boat Trailer
  • To determine what the correct replacement leaf spring is for your boat trailer we first need to find the weight capacity of your trailer axle and the length of it. The length of a leaf spring is measured form the center of one eye to the center of the other eye (see attached photo). For example, the 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring # e54SR is rated for a 3,500 lb axle and has a center eye to center eye measurement of 25-1/8" long. I have attached a link to our selection of leaf springs for you...

  • Raising a Trailer that Already has the Springs Over the Axles
  • Replacing the springs with ones that have another leaf isn't going to raise the trailer. Since the springs flex they'll just flex more or cause the ride to be stiff and therefore wear the suspension system out sooner. The only options you have to raise your trailer since the springs are already over the axles is to replace the hangers with longer ones and get larger tires. Neither will have all that much impact.

  • Parts Needed to Change Slipper to Double Eye Leaf Springs for 2K Boat Trailer
  • The hangers used for slipper springs and leaf springs are different enough that you'll either need to stick with slipper springs or you'll need to cut off your current hangers and weld on new ones that are designed for double eye springs.

  • How to Find Correct Replacement Leaf Springs for a 5' x 8' Utility Trailer
  • In order to find the correct leaf spring you are going to need to measure the spring length, the spring width, and let me know what the axle capacity is.

  • The 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 3,500-lb Trailer Axles # e54SR sounds exactly like what you need for your 2013 Pace American White Out Snowmobile trailer. When choosing a replacement leaf spring, you'll want to focus on matching the new leaf springs capacity with the old leaf spring, and have it be slightly shorter (about 1/2-1 inch) because the old leaf springs will eventually flatten or stretch over time.

  • Replacement Leaf Springs for Trailer with 24 Inch Long Double Eyed Springs
  • I'll start this off by saying that often times when springs are worn, they will flatten out and get longer when measuring the distance between the eyes (make sure you are measuring the distance when the springs are unloaded- you will need to jack the trailer up or remove the spring altogether); additionally, the other thing to consider when choosing replacement leaf springs for your trailer is the capacity of the trailer. The number of leafs in the spring is not nearly as important as getting...

  • Recommended Leaf Spring Replacement For A 2018 Open Range 2804RK
  • I would be happy to help you choose the correct replacement leaf springs for your 2018 Open Range 2804RK but the axle tags do not have leaf spring information on them. You will need to measure your current springs from center of spring eye to center or spring eye. You will need to make sure the trailer is jacked up with no weight on the axles or you will get an incorrect measurement. An available option is the 3- leaf spring that measures out to be 25-1/4 inches long # e57SR. You will...

  • Replacing Suspension On A 1995 Mallard 23P Travel Trailer
  • Before removing and potentially replacing the leaf springs, trailers sometimes lean to one side because of the way it's loaded. This uneven loading can cause the leaf spring to wear down quicker over time but could maybe be corrected by reorganizing the weight in your camper. Given it's a 1995, it could just be time for replacement as well. Trailer leaf springs need to be selected based on the axle weight rating, as well as on the spring type (slipper or double-eye), length and width dimensions....

  • Parts Needed to Convert a Single Axle Marine Master Trailer to a Tandem Axle Trailer
