• Replacement Leaf Spring For a Trailer With a 24 Eye Center to Eye Center and 3 Leaves
• It sounds like you may have the 3-Leaf Double-Eye Spring # e59SR on your trailer. This spring is 23-1/8" long from eye center to eye center when fully relaxed and has 3 leaves. As a leaf spring is loaded with weight it will get longer and overtime as it loses its curve it will measure to a longer length. You can follow the curve of the leaf spring from the center bolt in the leaf spring for a measurement of 12-7/16". This leaf spring is rated for a 3,500lb trailer axle. Do remember that...

Leaf springs can stretch over time but if you have leaf springs that measure 26" center eye to center eye and they...

• Replacing a Broken Leaf Spring on a 2007 Starcraft 2406 Pop Up Trailer
• When replacing a broken leaf spring on your trailer there are a few things to note. The most important part about a leaf spring being compatible with your trailer is that it is rated for at least the same weight capacity as your trailer axle. If it is rated lower you could overload it. A higher rated leaf spring would work but it would also make your trailer suspension stiff. Other than weight capacity you simply need to make sure that it has the correct width, is the same style, and has...

• Replacement Leaf Springs for 1999 ProCraft Boat Trailer With 3,750 Pound Axle
• Thank you for providing that helpful information. Based on your measurement and the 3,750 lb axle rating I recommend the 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 4,000-lb Trailer Axles - 26" Long # e22YR.

It is worth noting that leaf count doesn't matter. This is a 4-leaf spring but the important factor is the weight...

• How to Determine Correct Leaf Spring Replacement for 12 Year Old Trailer with 3-Leaf Leaf Spring
• The easiest way to determine the weight rating of your leaf spring is to note the weight rating of your axle. This can be found on a sticker or stamp near the tongue of your trailer or stamped towards the middle of your axles itself. Since you do have an older trailer you may just want to check the axles as the axles may have been swapped out sometime.

• Replacing Leaf Springs on Old 1,500 Pound Boat Trailer
• When picking out new trailer leaf springs it is important to closely match their length with your existing sets.

Using these leaf springs would require you to completely change the suspension, including cutting off the current hangers and welding on new ones...

• Replacement Leaf Spring with Single Leaf Compared to Multi-Leaf Spring
• The 1-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 6,000-lb Trailer Axles - 25-1/4" Long # e46SR will have the same capacity strength as a multi-leaf spring. It will replace a spring of the same length with the 3,000 lb capacity so it will work for a 6,000 lb axle. The benefit of not having the multi-leaf springs is the thickness is different in that this leaf spring will only have a 7/8 inch thickness making it fit well with the U-bolt around your axle. This spring will work just as well as the 5-Leaf...

• Replacement Light Duty 2 Wide Trailer Leaf Spring
• Our lightest 2" wide spring is the Dexter 4-Leaf Slipper Spring # DX93QR which is 26-3/4" long with a hook end for 2,500lb trailer axles.

If your spring hangers are designed for a 2" leaf spring that is the size you should replace it with. If your axles are rated for a higher capacity let me know so I can help you find the right capacity.
