• Recommended 2 Slipper Spring Hanger Kit For Tandem Axle Trailer W/ 5200-7000lb Axles

• Can I Switch From 5-Leaf Slipper Springs to 7-Leaf Springs?
  You can switch from a 5-Leaf # e74SR to a 7-Leaf # e37SR as long as you are replacing all your leaf springs. Do note the 7-leaf springs are going to be roughly 3/4" taller so you may also need taller U-Bolts like the # MR66ZR which are 7-3/4" tall.

• 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...

• How to Measure for Replacement Silpper Springs for 12K Trailer
  Given the description, it sounds like you have a slipper spring suspension. The # e74SR springs you looked at are a likely replacement, but it's best to get a correct measurement. Generally speaking, you'll want to measure from the center of the spring eye to the highest point of the slipper end, as well as to the end of the spring, as shown in the provided photo. Because leaf springs tend to flatten out as they age, you'll want to take your measurement with the trailer up on jack stands...

• Spring Hanger Spacing Dimensions for a Tandem Axle Slipper Spring Suspension on a 14,0000 lb Trailer

• How to Measure Leaf Springs on a 2020 Forest River Cherokee Alpha Wolf 26DBH-L
  While we do have a way to measure your leaf springs, we do not have the specs that show the exact leaf spring size on a 2020 Forest River Cherokee Alpha Wolf 26DBH-L. With that being said, you can definitely figure out the measurements you need on your trailer. The measurements you need depend on if you have double-eye leaf springs or slipper springs on your rig. If you have double eye springs, here is the information we need: - number of leaves needed - axle weight rating - length...

• Replacement Axle Options for 91-1/2" Axle with 4" Drop for Boat Trailer
  Our standard drop axles measure 89" long and then 94" long. It's possible to use a larger hub face like the etrailer 94" Long Axle # e35GR but you need to make sure the 78-1/4" spring center measurement lines up and that the 7K weight rating isn't too much for your application. For slipper springs we don't have anything that matches 26" exactly, but we have the 5-Leaf Slipper Spring # e74SR that is made for a 7K axle and measures 26-5/8" long overall. Aside from a standard axle setup...

• Measurements for 5-Leaf Slipper Spring w/Hook End for 7,000-lb Trailer Axles e74SR
  The B measurement for slipper spring # e74SR is from the center of the eye to the part of the opposite end where it levels out after the bend. The spring eye center to the end is 26-5/8 inches. The overall length would be about 27 inches. With worn springs they will flatten out some and have slightly different measurements than a new spring. That is likely what is going on here. Out of the available options for 2 inch wide slipper springs for 7,000 pound axles # e74SR is the best option...

• Which Leaf Springs for 7000-lbs Axles
  You're going to choose the correct leaf spring replacement based off of the type of spring (either double eye or slipper), the capacity and the length of the spring; the spring pack size is mostly inconsequential. It looks like there is only one option available for 7000-lbs springs in double eye and slipper springs, but I do still recommend measuring to confirm that your existing springs are close to these (within an inch of so). If you've got a double eye spring that is around 25" long...

• Slipper Spring Hanger Positioning for 7,000 lb Tandem Axle

• Recommendation To Replace Slipper Spring And Bushings
  Yes, you will need to replace the spring with something like Item # e74SR. It is best to replace all springs at the same time so that you have even support and maintenance for the trailer. We do not carry 2 inch never fail bushings. I contacted Lippert Components who manufactures never fail bushings and they do not have a 2 inch option available at this time. It also sounds like you have a new axle. Your hubs and axle shaft/spindle should work together so long as the bearing numbers...

• Hanger Spacing Used When Installing Triple Axle Slipper Spring Kit
  I can give you a general estimate but the only way to get it just right is to mock up all the parts to determine the proper locations prior to permanently installing everything. On a triple axle trailer with 2 inch wide slipper springs the distance from the first and second hangers would be approximately 28-1/2 inches. From the second to third hangers it would be approximately 33 inches. And from the third to fourth hangers it would be approximately 28-1/2 inches. For this set up the center...

• Slipper Springs vs. Double Eye Springs, Would Either Cause Severe Alignment Problems
  Both slipper springs and double eye springs will work just as well as the other as long as they are rated for the weight of the trailer. Typically slipper springs are seen more on the heavier capacity trailers. The issue you are having would not have anything to do with your leaf spring style. You either have worn out suspension components on your trailer or the axle/spindle/hub has serious problems that need to be addressed. I would recommend you either examine everything I just mentioned...
