The most common leaf spring length for trailer is 25-1/4 inches. The best recommendation I can make is the part # e46SR which is 25-1/4 inches long and is for 6k rated axles. You may need to move the hangers on your trailer to get these to fit, but you should note that trailer leaf springs have a tendency to stretch around 3/4 of an inch over time.

If the axle isn't bent from being overloaded (wear on outside of tire tread), then you're probably okay. If it's bent, you'd want to replace it. Since you don't know the axle capacity, we can make a pretty good guess if we know…

Answer 7

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.…

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…

Answer 9

As long as your shackle straps are not elongated, bent or rusted you can place them in front of your axle. It's always a good idea to check shackle straps frequently because they are the part that will wear the most. If you need to replace, you…

Answer 10

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…

The closest match we have is the part #e54SR which is for a 3,500 lb axle and is 25-1/8 inches long. It would be a bit longer than what you have but it would work.
