5-Leaf Slipper Springs Pair 26-5/8 in x 2 in - 3,500 lb Each

In this review the 5-Leaf Slipper Springs (pair) are evaluated for trailer owners who need a direct replacement or upgrade for tandem axle systems. The bottom line: these springs are built for weight and reliability, each rated at 3,500 lb to support 7,000 lb tandem axle trailers, and they deliver a predictable, stable ride for utility trailers, car haulers and equipment trailers. The reviewer found the fit precise and the pre-installed nylon bushing a useful touch that simplifies installation.

Key Features

• Heavy-duty steel: The high-strength steel construction provides a durable suspension component designed for heavy towing and repeated use.
• 5-leaf design: The layered spring layout distributes load to support 3,500 lb per spring, helping maintain trailer height under load.
• Exact fit dimensions: Measuring 26-5/8 in from center of eye to end and 2 in wide, the spring replaces common slipper setups with close dimensional matches.
• Pre-installed nylon bushing: The included bushing reduces metal-on-metal wear and makes alignment and installation quicker for most standard mounts.
• Ride stability: The slipper design helps reduce road vibration and trailer sway, improving towing comfort when carrying heavy loads.
• Direct replacement: Engineered for straightforward swap-in with standard mounting hardware for routine repairs and upgrades.

Who It's For

This product is suited to owners of tandem axle trailers rated up to 7,000 lb who need a reliable, load-rated slipper spring for utility trailers, small boat trailers, car haulers and flatbeds. It is especially useful for people who value an exact-fit replacement and want reduced sway and vibration when towing.

Those who should look elsewhere include owners of trailers with nonstandard or custom suspension geometries, or users who require progressive-rate springs or air-ride systems; this is a robust, conventional slipper spring intended for mechanical leaf-spring setups.
