If you're replacing a busted or rusted-out spring on your trailer - or if you've decided to upgrade to dacromet to avoid rusted-out springs down the line - the first thing you'll need to do is measure your existing leaf springs. Take a look at the measurements above. If these dimensions - and the weight rating - match what you currently have, you should be good to go.
Remember, though, your leaf springs can flatten a bit over time. And if you're measuring your spring while your trailer is fully loaded, the overall length that you get might be a bit more than what you need a brand new, unloaded spring to measure.
Rustproof Your Trailer Suspension with Dacromet
As you travel across highways and backroads, your trailer's leaf springs are going to corrode and flake over time. This is especially true if you have a boat trailer that's regularly submerged in water. Completely rusted-out springs on trailers are all too common, and these dacromet springs are a great solution to that problem.
Longer-lasting springs will save you money and are great for any trailer, but they are a must have for folks who live or play by the water. If you live on the coast, you're probably always rinsing the saltwater off of your trailer to try and keep rust at bay. If you're really worried, you might've even tried to repaint your springs or spray them down with rust inhibitors. But upgrading to these dacromet-coated leaf springs could cut down on or eliminate all of that maintenance, leaving you more time to spend out on the water.
Rust-resistant coatings are graded according to a salt spray rating. Basically, this rating shows the amount of time it takes for a material to show signs of corrosion when exposed to pure, continuous salt spray. We conducted our own salt spray test and found that this dacromet coating lasts up to 744 hours before it begins to deteriorate. Compare that to some other dacromet coatings out there that are rated at just 300 hours - or zinc coatings that don't last for even that long - and you can be sure these springs will last.
Double-Eye Leaf Spring Basics
Leaf springs, as you probably know, make up an important part of your trailer's suspension. Their main purpose is to absorb road shock as you travel, as well as allow your axle(s) to move independently of the rest of the trailer.
To mount this leaf spring, you'll need hangers welded onto your trailer frame - which you probably already have in place - as well as shackle straps and a suspension bolt. It's a good idea to replace your existing straps and bolt while you're under there working on things because they tend to wear out quickly. One thing that could help keep them from wearing out too fast would be upgrading to galvanized or zinc-plated hardware. Doing so will boost the corrosion resistance and, therefore, the longevity of your trailer.
We also always recommend replacing both of your springs at the same time because it's not unusual for leaf springs to sag and elongate over time. If you replace just the one, there's a good chance that it won't match your existing spring on the opposite side of your trailer, and that can mess up your alignment.

So far, so good. I upgraded from a 4 leaf to a 5 leaf spring because I was breaking the four leafs about every 2 years. These have performed very well for at least this first year.

2009 Cedar Creek, The previous owner had new axles installed in 2014 with wet bolts and equa-flex . The springs had flattened out because of age so finding the right length was hard. One call to etrailer helped with this, I ordered the upgrade shackles with wet bolts. I was surprised by the quality and thickness of the shackles! Installation went well about 3 1/2 hours. I found that the previous owner used nylon bushings instead of brass one. They had worn thru but the brass ones on the equa-flex were like new.

- How to Choose Correct Replacement 6K Leaf Spring for Montana High Country 5th WheelWe have a handful of 6K leaf springs, like the part # e94SR you were looking at, that could potentially work for your Montana High Country but I'll need you to measure the distance from the center of one eyelet to the center of the other eyelet to make sure we get the correct length to you. The correct way to do this is to lift your trailer up by the frame so there isn't any weight that's compressing the leaf spring. Once we know the length of your leaf spring I'll be able to make a recommendation...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Amazon Trailer Leaf Springs Failing Within 100 Miles Of UseI completely understand your troubles and confusion with leaf springs. First do remember there are different types of spring steels so the thickness of the leaves is not always the best way to judge the weight capacity for the leaf springs. So while you would think a 3/8" thick leaf would be stronger than leaf springs which use 5/16" thick springs that is not always the case depending on the type of spring steel used. With as quickly as your new springs failed it makes me think they either...
view full answer... - Replacement Leaf Spring for 2018 Heartland Cyclone 4250Hey Richard, the closest option leaf spring solution to what you need is the part # e78SR which is the right size but it's for 6k axles. With that said the GVWR of your 2018 Heartland cyclone 4250 is 16.7k which three 6k axle leaf spring setups would be adequate for since that's 18k worth of capacity. This spring is 25-1/4 inch from bolt hole to bolt hole.

What is most important is the length of the springs and the axle capacity. We did some research on your trailer and it looks like you have 6,000 lb axles which we have a few options. We have the part # e34SR which is 25-1/4 inch long, part # e94SR which is 26 inches long, and # e78SR which is 25-1/4 inch long. Keep in mind when measuring your old springs that they will have stretched around 1/8 of...
view full answer... - Replacement Leaf Spring for Lippert 702095 Trailer SpringI looked up the Lippert 702095 leaf spring and it's a 25-1/4 inch long spring that has a 2,600 lb capacity per spring. The closest option we have is the etrailer Dacromet coated part # e28SR which is also 25-1/4 inches long but has a 2,500 lb per spring capacity. Since you have a 5,200 lb axle the next higher rated spring would be the part # e78SR which is a 6k axle rated leaf spring that is also 25-1/4 inches long and Dacromet coated. This would probably be your best choice since it would...
view full answer... - Replacement Leaf Springs for a Trailer with Two 6,000 Pound AxlesFor 6,000 pound axles you will need springs that are rated for 3,000 pounds each. I recommend # e78SR. This spring is 25-1/4 inches long, 1-3/4 inches wide, and has 5 leaves. It is best to replace all of the springs at the same time so they wear evenly and the ride quality/tire wear is not affected.
view full answer... - What Are the Correct Replacement Leaf Springs for 6,000 lb AxleThere are leaf springs available with measurements close to 25" from center of spring eye to center of spring eye, though the correct one is going to depend on your axle capacity, which should be stamped onto the axle itself. Knowing this information is going to be important to get you the correctly rated springs. The options for you are going to be 6-Leaf Double-Eye Spring # SP-222275 which is for 5,300 lb axles and is 24-7/8" from center of spring eye to center of spring eye. Please...

On the EZ Flex the distance from the center of the mounting hole to the center line between the 2 bottom holes, straight up and down, is 2-7/8 inches. If your 4-3/4 inch measurement is diagonal then you will be good to go with this kit. For a u-bolt kit you can use # APUBR-9.

I recommend using the E-Z Flex Triple Suspension System Kit # K71-656-00 as an upgrade to your current suspension system.

- Spring Hanger Spacing for 26 inch Long Leaf Springs and Availability of Shorter 6k SpringsYou will want to remove your spring hangers and then weld them in a position that allows the shackles to hang properly. On a spring that is 26 inches eye to eye on center and a single axle trailer you will want the hangers to be up to 1/2 inch less than the spring length so 25-1/2 inches on center between the front and rear hangers. We have two 6k axle leaf springs available that are shorter than 26 inches long. We have the part # e34SR which measures 25-1/4 inches and the part # e78SR...

Leaf springs don't come with a warranty to void other than manufacturer defect, so that is a non-issue.

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.

It won't be strong enough. You were right on the other parts because axle springs do stretch over time and are spread more when compressed. I recommend the 5-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 6,000-lb Trailer Axles - 25-1/4" Long # e78SR.

You want to use the short equalizers. The hangers you have are designed for the 7-3/4" short version.

I was able to find the answer from Kyle and he also recommends the e94SR as well in his answer, the 4-leaf spring part # e27SR is not enough capacity because although it's for a 4,500 lb axle it's only rated for 2,000 lbs.
