• Leaf Spring Replacement Recommendation for a Trailer with 6000 lb Axles
  The Double-Eye Spring # e46SR that you referenced would work well for you. I did a little research and found that with your distance of 29-1/2 inches the # e46SR would be the perfect length once you factor in the distance that the equalizers take up. These springs are also designed to work with 6,000 lb axles so this would be perfect for you. I am a little concerned about the GVW of your trailer being 13,180 lbs when you have 2 6,000 lb axles on your trailer. I would strongly recommend...

• Leaf Springs, Cushioned Equalizer, and Wet Bolt/Shackle Kit for 2007 Keystone Cougar SRX310
  For your 2007 Keystone Cougar SRX310 the cushioned Equa-Flex equalizers part # LC279687 would be a great set of cushioned equalizers to smooth out the trailer's ride quality. Then for a leaf spring you have a few options based on the length of your current springs. The part # e78SR is 25-1/4 inches long, the # e46SR is 25-1/4 inch long, and # e94SR is 26 inches long. Then for a wet shackle bolt kit designed for use with the Equa-Flex equalizers we have the part # LC64FR and you'd be set.

• Should Trailer Suspension Shackle Straps Mount Below or Above the Equalizer
  Having the shackles below the equalizer would put the leaf spring out of level. Also, the equalizer wouldn't want to function properly and most likely the shackle would end up flipping over to the top of it or binding up/putting undue stress on the leaf spring/shackle/equalizer. You would definitely want to have the shackles mounted above the equalizer. Check out the help article I attached on trailer suspension as well.

• Troubleshooting Broken Leaf Spring On a Boat Trailer With Tandem Axles Mounted Individually
  I recommend any trailer with a tandem axle setup use an equalizer regardless of the amount of leaves in the spring or if it is a double eye or slipper spring design. On a system like your trailer where each axle is mounted individually and not connected one axle will carry more of its share of the weight when one axle lowers due to road angles or unlevel trailer positioning. An equalizer setup like the Tandem-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit # APT3 will allow the suspension to continue to spread...

• Does the Leaf Spring # e46SR Require a Bushing
  The # e46SR spring is designed to be used without a bushing and is normally a replacement for springs on a mobile home axle. The spring eye measures 9/16 of an inch across. We don't have any bushings that would fit this spring nor would there be any need for one.

• Replacement Leaf Spring For 1998 Boat Trailer Carrying 18-Ft Bass Boat
  The best fit when replacing leaf springs on a trailer is to know what the trailer and axle capacity is. There may be a plate or sticker that has that information listed. We offer one single leaf spring, part # e46SR, and it is designed for 6,000 axles. It has a measurement of 25-1/4 inches eye center-to-center. If you are measuring the spring after it has been taken off the trailer it may have flattened a bit over time. As far as the leaves in the leaf spring, we may have one that...

• Recommended Replacement 2-Inch-Wide Leaf Spring on Old Utility Trailer
  Thank you for providing the detailed description of your broken 4-leaf spring. If the spring is 2-inches wide as you state then it is likely to be a single-eye slipper-type spring such as those shown on the included link. If the spring has an eye on both ends then it is a double-eye spring whose width is probably 1-3/4-inches rather than 2-inches. We do not offer any double-eye leaf springs in the 2-inch width (although rare they do exist). We offer only a 1-3/4-inch width as those shown...

• Replacing 5-Leaf Spring with 1-Leaf Double-Eye Spring on Boat Trailer with Tandem 6,000-lb Axles
  The single leaf spring you referenced, part # e46SR, would work fine as a replacement for the 5-leaf springs you currently have. You are correct in stating that corrosion would be less of an issue with this particular spring. Make sure to replace the leaf springs in pairs by axle.

• Differences Between Single and 5-Leaf Leaf Springs for 6000 Lb Rated Trailer Axle
  The single leaf # e46SR is designed for use with a mobile home axle, which is intended to be a one-time use item, so I'd wholeheartedly recommend going with the other option, part # e34SR which is designed for use on a trailer that's designed to be used over a span of years. You'll be much happier with its performance. We don't offer a bushing that will work in the single leaf spring, and that's entirely a function of the one-use nature that type of axle is designed for. Also, keep in...

• How to Pick Leaf Springs for a Trailer
  If you look on the frame of your trailer there should be a plate with the trailer VIN number and the axle capacities of the trailer. You will want to pick leaf springs that are as close to the axle capacity as possible. You will want to also measure the distance from eye to eye of your old leaf springs and then pick a leaf spring with the same weight capacity of your trailer axles and is slightly shorter (around 1 inch) to compensate for the sag and wear of the old leaf spring. Leaf springs...

• Triple Axle Hanger/Equalizer Kit Recommendation for Use with Leaf Springs e46SR
  The closest equalizers we carry to the dimensions you mentioned are 5-3/4 inches long and 2 inches tall like the part # TREQ104. The closest triple axle kit we have is the part # APTT3 which has equalizer that are 7-3/4 inches long. I know we spoke earlier and you told me you have a mobile home triple axle trailer. Because of that I would recommend going with the # APTT3 with your springs and having the hangers moved to the appropriate dimensions that the kit calls for.

• Axle Spacing To Use 29-1/2 inch Long Leaf Springs with Slipper Axle Tandem Hanger Kit # AP216-H238
  With 29-1/2 inch leaf springs like the # e46SR that you referenced the axle spacing you'll want to use with the hanger kit part # AP216-H238 would be 35-1/8 inches. You cannot use the over under kits we offer with slipper springs.

• Trailer Suspension Hanger Spacing When Using Spring e46SR on 6,000 Pound Axles
  The hanger spacing depends on the number of axles and some other factors including the hanger kit that is used. On a single axle trailer using kit # APS1 the center to center distance from the front to rear hanger is 24-7/8 inches. On a tandem axle set up the center to center distance from the front to center hanger and from the center to rear hanger is 29-1/2 inches. On a triple axle set up the distance from the front to the second hanger is 29-1/2 inches, from the second to third hangers...

• How to Move Axles Under Leaf Springs on a Horse Trailer with Slipper Springs
  Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit, like part # K71-385-00, is specified by Dexter for use only with double-eye springs. It is not suitable for use with slipper springs. If you really wanted to move the axle under the leaf spring you would have to replace all hangers, equalizers, and springs. The part # K71-385-00 is the correct over under kit for 3 inch axles like yours so that's a good start. 3 inch axles are typically 6k or 7.2k axles so for leaf springs the # e46SR...

• Trailer Hanger Kit Recommendation for Trailer with 25-/4 inch long Leaf Springs
  Mobile home axle components can be hard to find replacement parts for, but if you have leaf springs part # e46SR the part # APT9 would be a great hanger kit to use. The distance on center between the spring hanger bolt holes for dual axle setups, with the # APT9 Tandem-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit, should be 29-1/2 inches for double eye springs that measure 25-1/4 inches on center between the spring eyes and for axles that are 3 inches in diameter. This will put your axle spacing somewhere...

• Compatibility of Single Leaf Springs on 6,000 lb Axles of Toy Hauler 5th Wheel Trailer
  The 1-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 6,000-lb Trailer Axles - 25-1/4" Long # e46SR will work well on your Forest River Toy Hauler with Tandem Axles. The difference between the single spring and the stacked leaves is the stacked leaves will have a thickness at the axle that will be different. The single leaf will not have the height of the stack you currently have so your U-bolts where the axle connect will be tightened further. This will also slightly lower the ride of your trailer with...

• Does Single-Leaf 6K Leaf Spring e34SR Have a Pilot Nub for U-Bolt Plate
  The 1-Leaf Double-Eye Spring # e46SR does not have a center bolt as found on the comparably-rated 6K spring # e34SR. That center bolt head, or pilot, is not present on the single leaf spring because it is not needed as it is with multi-leaf springs. You can still install this spring using a u-bolt plate that has a center hole. Although these two springs share the same dimensions and weight capacity (25-1/4 x 1-3/4, and 6K) if you are replacing a multi-leaf spring you'll want to stay with...

• 6,000 Pound 1 Leaf Replacement Double Eye Trailer Spring
  The closest spring we have to that is part # e46SR which is a 6,000 pound 1-leaf spring but it measures 25-1/4 inches long. If your 26 inch spring is old and flattened out then there's a good chance part # e46SR is what you need because your old one will be longer than a new one.

• 25-1/4 inch Leaf Spring Recommendation for Travel Trailer with Tandem Axles
  20 year old leaf springs on a trailer could easily stretch 3/4 of an inch. Going with a 25-1/4 inch spring like you mentioned would be great. Since your springs are 3 inch in diameter that would indicate that most likely you have a 5,200 lb axle as that's a very common rating for that size. For a 25-1/4 inch length spring we have the part # e44SR which has a 5,000 lb capacity. # e57SR which has a 4,000 lb capacity, and # e46SR which has a 6,000 lb capacity. Suspension components can be...

• 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...

• How Does etrailer Leaf Spring # e46SR Connect to Suspension
  While the leaf spring part # e46SR only has one pin on it that is all that's needed to secure it to either the u-bolt plate or the axle spring seat. As long as one is there that's all that's needed.

• Can 6-Leaf Slipper Spring 8000lb e46SR Be Installed On 7000lb Trailer Axle?
  As long as the 29-1/2" length of the 6-Leaf Slipper Spring # e46SR you were looking at matches the current slipper springs used with your 7000lb axles then yes, they will work. You can confirm the length of your current slipper springs by jacking the trailer up so that there is not weight on the springs and measuring from center of spring eye to the end of the slipper spring as shown in the included picture. With that said this spring will be slightly stiffer than your current springs...

• Spring Spring Hanger Spacing for Spring e46SR
  The B dimension on a slipper spring is the distance that should be between the hanger and the mounting point on a slipper spring equalizer. For example the part # e46SR that you referenced should have a distance of 24-7/8 inches between the first hanger and the equalizer mounting point. Since equalizers can have different lengths there isn't a standard dimension with this spring. Let's use hanger kit part # AP202-H238 as an example. The first hanger of the hanger kit part # AP202-H238...
