Recommended Leaf Springs For Triple Axle Boat Trailer W/ 5200lb axles
Question:
I have a tri axle boat trailer. The leaf springs are double eye 5 leaf 5200lb per axle. They are 18 years old and the measurement center of eye to center of eye is 27 1/4inch My question is how much has this spring flattened out and what would be the proper size spring to replace with? I have noticed 25 1/4 seems to be the most popular size.

Expert Reply:
You are correct that the leaf springs on your triple axle boat trailer have more than likely flattened out and have gotten longer since they are 18 years old.
For a replacement I recommend the 6-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 6,000-lb Trailer Axles - 26" Long # e94SR which measure 26" center of spring eye to center of spring eye and will work perfectly as a replacement. A 25-1/4" spring may work, but it is unlikely that your current springs stretched 2" over time.
