In this video, we show how to identify and measure trailer leaf springs. The most common type of leaf spring is a double eye spring, there are also four types of slipper springs including a flat end, radius end, hook end, and an open eye end spring. All of these spring types are covered in the video as well as how to measure each type.
Measurements:
– Eye Diameter
– Width
– Pack Thickness
– Leaf Count
– Free open length
– A + B length: along the leaf
– arch

how about when the leafs are broken?
THANK YOU!
Wish old springs where worth a crap when getting this info
I have a trailer from the 80’s and it needs a 26″ flat slipper spring without the hook. It’s impossible to find anywhere. WTH??
How do you make correct measurements when springs are fattened out from eye to eye on double eye springs, plus will going 1 ex. leaf hurt ?
