AEagle 5 Leaf 3000lb Double Eye Spring Kit - Tandem Trailer

In this review the AEagle 5 Leaf 3000lb double eye spring kit is evaluated for owners of tandem axle utility and cargo trailers who need a full replacement suspension kit. The kit includes four 3000 lb capacity double eye springs and matching u-bolt and hanger hardware, so the single biggest reason to buy is convenience: it supplies everything needed to replace both springs and secure the axles for a 5,200-6,000 lb trailer in one package. The review focuses on fit, durability, and installation details observed during a hands-on swap.

Key Features

• Complete kit: Includes 4 double eye springs plus u-bolts, tie plates and hanger components so shoppers can service both sides of a tandem axle without sourcing extra parts.
• Rated capacity: Each spring is rated 3,000 lb, making the kit suitable for trailers with combined axle ratings in the 5,200-6,000 lb range when used as specified.
• Dimensions for fit: Springs measure 25-1/4' eye to eye, 3' free open, and 1-3/4' leaf width which helps ensure compatibility with common 1-3/4' leaf spring applications.
• Corrosion resistance: An anti-rust coating is applied to the springs and hardware to improve longevity in road and seasonal storage conditions.
• Hardware tailored for 3' axle: The u-bolt kit is made for 3' round axles and includes 8 u-bolts, tie plates and nuts sized for straightforward axle clamp down.

Who It's For

This kit is best for trailer owners replacing worn or damaged leaf springs on tandem axle trailers with 5,200-6,000 lb combined rating who prefer a single purchase that includes springs and mounting hardware. It is especially useful for DIY mechanics who have basic suspension tools and experience with shackle bolts and u-bolt torque procedures.

Those who should look elsewhere include owners of trailers outside the specified capacity range or with different spring dimensions, and buyers seeking perfectly symmetrical, premium-finished springs for show trailers; several users reported some variability in build, and fit verification is recommended before installation.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Good value: Springs, u-bolts and hanger hardware included in one kit reduce sourcing time and cost.
• Functional fit: Dimensions and capacity match common 1-3/4' leaf applications for tandem axles in the target range.
• Durability steps: Anti-rust coating and quality raw materials improve long term resistance to corrosion.

Cons

• Build consistency: Some customers report asymmetry between springs which can complicate alignment.
• Installation caution: Multiple reports of u-bolt threads stripping and a note that nuts must be tightened horizontally to avoid issues.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these springs fit my tandem trailer?
They fit trailers that use 1-3/4 in leaf springs with a 25-1/4 in eye-to-eye length and 3 in free open; verify your trailer measurements and axle rating first.

Is all mounting hardware included?
Yes, the kit includes u-bolts, tie plates, equalizers, hangers, shackle straps and related bolts and nuts for a tandem axle installation.

Any special installation notes?
Tighten the nuts horizontally as noted by the manufacturer and avoid over-torquing to prevent u-bolt thread stripping; inspect parts for fit before final torque.
