Note: To ensure proper axle alignment and suspension performance, leaf springs should always be replaced in pairs.
Leaf springs are an integral part of your trailer suspension system. The leaf springs provide the attachment points for your trailer's axle, suspending it from the frame of your trailer. Each spring flexes to absorb road shock as you travel, allowing the axle to move somewhat independently of the rest of your trailer. This helps to reduce wear and tear on the trailer and also ensures a smooth ride.
Double-eye leaf springs attach to hangers that are welded onto your trailer. One end of this spring will attach directly to the hanger with a suspension bolt. The other end will attach to shackle straps that are suspended from a hanger. These straps allow the spring to move and pivot so that it can better compensate for uneven pavement. If you have a tandem- or triple-axle trailer, the shackle straps will be attached to the equalizer that connects multiple springs.
To mount this spring, you will need hangers, shackle straps, and suspension bolts. If you are simply replacing a spring, you may still have hangers welded onto your trailer. You should, however, replace your shackle straps because they are usually the first component to wear out. You may choose to replace old suspension bolts as well. It is recommended that you replace the other leaf spring in your setup at the same time. Because springs can sag and elongate as they wear, this new spring may not exactly match the old one, and the alignment of your trailer could be affected.
If you are fabricating a trailer, you will need to purchase a hanger kit for installation. To determine the type of hanger kit that you need, you must know the specific type of leaf spring that you have, as well as your axle capacity. Depending on the hanger kits used with them, springs can be configured to work for single-, tandem- or triple-axle applications. Hangers and other suspension components can also be purchased separately if there isn't a complete kit that works for your setup.

After a year of owner ship on a lightly used utility trailer. I’m still happy with it. It was easy to fix and replace served its purpose.

Upgrading the springs on a harbor freight trailer and these really fit the bill with some matching shackles.
by: Brian07/11/2020
Other than the parts taking a month to process, once they were gathered and packaged, they were delivered within 2 days! I replaced both sides with new 3-leaf double eye springs, 4 shackle straps, 6 shackle bolts, 2 Dexter U-bolt plates, and 2 U-bolts. They were really easy to replace and I did it quickly. Looks great, gonna take her out soon.
by: Richard05/24/2022
Exact size, fast delivery. The only thing I had trouble with was the fact that the main shackle bolts had splines on them and could not be rotated. It would have saved me a lot of time knowing that the bolts weren’t just rusted solid in the old springs/shackles, but held by splines.
by: Jonathan10/13/2022
They seem fine.
Packaging was very bad. The leaf springs were thrown on the bottom of the box and paper on top.
They could have been wrapped.

I recently had a leaf spring break on my StarCraft pop up camper.
E-trailer had the best pricing available on the replacement springs that I could find, and the kit was a no brainer as I wanted to replace both springs at the same time. The ordering was simple. The shipping was better than expected. I ordered on a Tuesday with standard shipping and received it on Thursday. They sent emails letting me know the status of my order to include a delivery conformation email. All the parts fit the trailer perfectly and I will still get one or two camping trips in be fore the snow flies here in Colorado. Thank you E-trailer and I will tell recommend you to my fellow pop up camper friends.
by: Anthony03/08/2021
I used these on a 2010 personal water-craft trailer that has been converted for dirt bike towing. These replaced the stock 1,000lb slipper-style springs, with a much stronger attachment and increased towing capacity. Perfect, thank you.
by: Andy G.10/06/2014
I was able to put a brand new suspension on my ten year old utility trailer. The hardest part was getting the old suspension off. Shackle bolts would be a nice addition to the package.
by: Doug05/25/2022
The part is identical to my broken leaf spring. E trailer had the part in stock and it took only three days to get to my door. Very satisfied customer. Will definitely do business with E trailer in the future for any parts needed.

I recently installed 4 of these leaf springs on my tandem axle sailboat trailer. They fit perfectly and seem to be well made.
by: Carmen12/29/2022
Good packing, arrived on time, thank you
by: Michael05/18/2022
The springs looked good when I received them. Fit nice in the trailer once I was able to remove the old ones. Haven't tested them under full load, but the empty trailer rode nice. No comment on durability or longevity because they have just been installed
by: Michael09/18/2020
Easy installation. Seems like good quality, but only time and hauling heavy stuff will tell. The leafs they're replacing are on a 21 year old trailer. The old leafs do feel a little heavier than the new ones. Hopefully that doesn't mean the new ones won't be as strong. And yes, the trailer is upside down in the photos. Maybe that's why installation was easy.
by: Roy05/16/2018
Fit on my old teardrop trailer built on a Harbor Freight flat trailer base perfectly!

Just what I ordered
by: Peter 05/14/2021
Stacey was very helpful. If the website provided me a way to pay for the springs I would not have had to bother her. Website was tried three times and the website never provided a site to pay for the springs.

Replaced rusted components. New spring a nd associated material is working great. No issues at at.

Was not able to use on my trailer set up. Tried returning but was over the return dates.

I purchased these springs for my cycle kart. They worked perfectly! I will definitely order another set for my next one.
Thanks etrailer!!
by: Terry s.05/28/2012
The springs worked out great for my project, it's not your normal everyday project so I will try and get you a picture of where it was used, the application is on a trike motorcycle that I am custom building in my spare time, I was very pleased with the way they turned out. I was very pleased with the shipping time also. If you would like to know more about the project and the use of your product please feel free to ask.

great product, great fit, superb shipping! ordered on a Tuesday afternoon and arrived Thursday afternoon with 3-5 day shipping. Used it to fix up an old trailer and was an exact fit.

It fits fine. There was no problem mou nting.
by: Peter V.04/01/2014
I purchased a spring kit to rebuild a used trailer with signs of wear. The spings were a perfect replacement for originals, I also bought replacement bolts for the spring eyes & shackles sizing, grading was dead on the money. Also my shipping was upgraded at no additional cost to me which allowed for reassembly that weekend. My only disappointment was torque spec's were not included, so i sent an email & within minutes the support team had responded with details! Overall great experience thanks

Very pleased with my purchase. Installation was a breeze. Ive used my trailer several times for the following: cubic yards of topsoil, mulch, pavers, dirtbikes and a Harley Davidson. No signs of settling or sagging springs.

- How to Determine the Axle Capacity for a 16 Foot Aluminum 1965 Dilly Boat TrailerYou can usually find the axle capacity on the tongue of the trailer where the VIN number is located. If that tag is missing, there is usually a tag on the axle that lists the capacity. If neither of these sources is available, there are guidelines that you can follow to try to determine the axle capacity. Typically axle diameters are based on the capacity that the axle is designed to carry. The following guidelines can be used in conjunction with weighing your setup, fully loaded and ready...
view full answer... - Are the 3-Leaf Double-Eye Springs # SP-169275 Sold Individually or in PairsThe 3-Leaf Double-Eye Spring # SP-169275 that you referenced is sold individually. So if you needed 2 springs for one axle you would need to order a quantity of 2. I attached a review video for this product for you to check out also.
view full answer... - Are 3-Leaf or 4-Leaf Trailer Suspension Springs Better If they Have the Same Weight CapacityIf the 4-leaf springs and the 3-leaf springs you are looking at have the same weight capacity and dimensions, then there is really no advantage in choosing the 4-leaf spring over the 3-leaf spring. It is recommended that you replace your leaf springs in pairs so you are using the same springs on each axle. As long as you remain under the weight capacity of the leaf springs, the 3-leaf spring will be no more likely to break than the 4-leaf springs unless there was a manufacturing defect...
view full answer... - When Should the Leaf Springs Be Changed on a 12 Year Old Utility TrailerThere is no rule of thumb concerning life expectancy of trailer leaf springs such as the Redline double-eye spring # SP-169275 that you referenced. There are many variables that can affect the life expectancy of leaf springs. These variables include keeping the suspension maintained and ensuring that the trailer is always loaded within its load capacities. If your springs are free of corrosion, and are not showing any evidence of cracking or other damage and are still operating correctly...
view full answer... - Finding Correct Replacement Leaf Springs for 4 x 8 Utility TrialerThe first thing you'll want to do is determine the capacity of your axle. This can usually be figured out by the getting as much of the following information as possible: Wheel bolt pattern (# of lugs and bolt circle diameter, see help article) Inner and outer wheel bearing reference numbers Axle tube diameter With at least two of the above, we can make a pretty good guesstimate about the axle capacity. When that is known, we'll look for a leaf spring that's a bit shorter than the one...
view full answer... - Leaf Spring Replacement Recommendation to Replace Boat Trailer Leaf Spring that Measures 21-1/2 inThe Leaf Spring part # SP-169275 would be a leaf spring that would work for you as long as the spring you are replacing is 1-3/4 inches wide and your trailer doesn't need a spring with a higher capacity than 2,000 lbs. This spring is 20-3/8 inches in length. Over time springs will flatten out and lengthen so a leaf spring that measures 21-1/2 inches while still on a trailer would be a good candidate for the # SP-169275 as a replacement.
view full answer... - Spring Hanger Relocation Recommendation for a Trailer to Install Leaf SpringsFor your setup the best option you would have would be to move the spring hangers you currently have. If there was a spring we carried that was right at 22 inches in length it would be perfect for you. But since the two closest sizes to what you would need are 20-1/4 and 23-1/4 inches there really isn't a size that would work. Moving your spring hangers to accommodate the # SP-169275 springs you have right now would be your best option. Finding a qualified fabricator to do the welding...
view full answer... - Replacement 3-Leaf Double-Eye Trailer SpringsTo find the correct replacement springs or your boat trailer you need to measure the current springs from eye to eye, center on center. For instance, # SP-169275 is a 3-leaf spring for 2000 pound axles that measure 20-3/8 inches long. If you give me the measurement I can recommend some springs for you.
view full answer... - Does Trailer Need to Come Off the Ground Totally When Replacing EqualizersTo remove the equalizer the easiest way is to remove the wheel/axle. If your wanted to try and leave all of those components on what you described would be possible but it would be a bit of a headache. If you fast forward to the 3 minute mark of the video I attached you can see more info on replacing the equalizers.
view full answer... - Replacement Leaf Springs Measuring 20-3/8 or 20-1/2 Inches Long Center Eye to Center EyeThe only double-eye spring we offer that's near the dimension you mentioned is part # SP-169275 for a 2000 lb axle. The spring has three leaves, but keep in mind that the number of leaves a spring has doesn't necessarily denote its weight capacity. The # SP-169275 spring measures 20-3/8, eye to eye. Since trailer springs can flatten out and elongate over time, it's entirely possible that these springs would be the correct replacements. To get the proper eye to eye dimension of your existing...
view full answer... - Should Equalizer Sit Level on Tandem Axle 5 Ton TrailerFor the most part the axles/equalizer should be level provided the tires and trailer are level. From the picture that you provided, the angle of the equalizer isn't something that I would be concerned about since the rear tires are up on a piece of lumber and not sitting level.

- Are Leaf Springs Installed on Top or Below Axles for Tandem Axle Boat TrailerThe springs could be either on top of or under the axle, depending on the diameter of the tires used, the fender clearance and the amount of ground clearance needed. Boat trailers are usually slung pretty low to keep the center of gravity low, but this isn't' found in every case. If you're trying to determine how everything will fit together, measure up from the ground by 1/2 the diameter of your tire. This will give you a good idea of where the axle center would sit. Measure form the...
view full answer... - Trailer Equalizer Is Tilted on One Side of TrailerIt is likely that once you have weight on the trailer, and right side up, that it will fix itself. This is a common occurrence. You can some times use a metal rod to persuade it back into place. It also appears that the spring on that side rotated slightly and that could have something to do with it. The springs also appear to be just a little bit too long and/or the hanger spacing is slightly off from where it should be to allow the suspension to properly travel. It might look completely...

- Leaf Spring Recommendation for a 6 x 8 TrailerThe closest leaf spring we offer to what you described would be the Leaf Spring part # SP-169275. This is a double eye spring that is 20-3/8 inches in length and is designed for 2,000 lb trailer axles. The amount of springs isn't as important as the capacity of the springs. These should work well on your trailer and I would recommend you replace the springs on both sides of the trailer.
view full answer... - Replacement Leaf Springs for a 2011 Lark 6 x 12 Single Axle Enclosed TrailerIf you just need to replace the springs and the u-bolts and plates are fine then you can just order the springs by themselves. But to determine the proper springs I will need the length of the existing springs and the axle capacity. When measuring springs there will need to be no weight on them so jacking up one side of the trailer and then measuring is an easy way to get a fairly accurate measurement. If your springs are 20-1/4 inches long measured from the center of one eye to the center...
view full answer... - Recommended Replacement 3-Leaf Trailer Leaf Spring for 6 x 12 Utility TrailerLeaf springs are most often 1-3/4-inches wide but larger widths can also be found, up to 3-inches for very heavy-duty suspensions. We do not offer any leaf springs in a 1-1/2-inch width. It is likely that yours are indeed 1-3/4-inches wide so you might want to double-check. I have linked you to our main page for 1-3/4-inch wide 3-leaf springs. You can click on the filters on the page to narrow the results down to the items with the correct dimensions and capacity for your set up. First,...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Trailer Tandem Trailer Axles Where One Is Closer to Trailer Frame than OtherIt sounds like your trailer isn't sitting totally level when hooked up to your tow vehicle. Does the front of the trailer sit higher than the rear? Judging by the angle of the equalizer in the picture you sent me it looks to be nose high. If so, then you would need to go with a ball mount that has more drop to allow it to sit level when you are towing. Check out the help article I attached on how to pick out the correct rise/drop ball mount to tow trailer level.

- Replacement Spring Hangers and Equalizers for Dorsey Tandem Trailer With Larger Wheels/TiresIf you change to taller equalizers you will also need to change to taller spring hangers to keep the system's geometry correct. If you recently replaced your wheels/tires with larger ones it certainly could be necessary to change out the hangers and equalizers to keep enough clearance between the tires and fenders. I linked our page for spring hangers for tandem axle trailers with double-eye springs. I also linked our equalizer page. A helpful article on trailer suspensions is linked as well.

We also offer these as separate replacement parts. Shackle straps can be re-used so long as their holes are not out-of-round (egg-shaped) from wear. You do not have to replace them just because you're changing out the springs. I have linked the two pages for all spring bushings and shackle links that we offer. Just click on the filters on each page to...
view full answer... - How is a Double-Eye Trailer Leaf Spring Length MeasuredWhen measuring double-eye leaf springs you will need to have the weight off of the springs by either taking the springs off or you could jack up one side of the trailer. Then you would measure from the center of one eye straight across to the center of the other eye. Depending on how old and worn the springs are you may not see an exact match in terms of dimensions out of the new spring options. Spring # SP-169275 for example measures 20-3/8 inches from eye center to eye center. I have...
view full answer... - How to Pick Out Replacement Springs for a Northern Tools Utility TrailerI can help you pick out the correct springs for your trailer, but we don't have access to specific info on your trailer. To pick out a replacement spring you are going to need to take a few measurements. You are going to need to measure the length of the spring without any weight on it, and you are going to need to know the capacity of trailer/axles so that you pick out the correct rated spring. Once you know that info you will need to check out the link I attached that has a page with...
view full answer... - Will the 3-Leaf Double-Eye Spring SP-169275 Replace a 21-1/2 Inch Leaf SpringThe best way to ensure the correct replacement leaf spring for your boat trailer is to first take all of the weight of the leaf spring and then measure the eye to eye spacing. However, the new leaf spring will most likely be a bit shorter than the one you have now as they will flatten over time. Therefore, if you have a 2,000 lb axle then the 3-Leaf Double-Eye Spring part # SP-169275 will most likely work for you.
view full answer... - Does Direction Matter When Installing Double Eye Leaf Springs?The clip that goes around of the leaves of the double eye leaf springs that you referenced can go either in front of the axle or behind it. Either way would be fine because direction doesn't change the way the spring operates.
view full answer... - Replacement Trailer Leaf Spring Recommendation for 1992 Fleetwood Terry ResortThe 3-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 2,000-lb Trailer Axles # SP-169275 that you referenced would be perfect. This spring is for an axle rating of 2,000 lbs which it sounds like your axle is rated at and is the correct length. Springs tend to stretch over time so yours being 20-3/4 inches is about right since these are 20-3/8 inch.
