I've got a utility trailer stripped in my garage and I have to get it road-ready and out of there. Specifically, I'm on the hunt for two 24" Open Eye Slipper Style Trailer Leaf Springs. They are a four-leaf design with an overall length of 25 3/4". The leafs are 1 3/4" wide. (The capacity is 1,400 for each spring.) Design image below does not reflect exactly what I need since that is a three-leaf design. It's just there to show the design of an open eye slipper style spring. Any suggestions? I found them at trailerpart.com in New Jersey, but they took my money and are not willing to ship anything to me any time soon. I need these ASAP.  Update - Project complete...

I called them before, and they do not have a match. Very helpful, but no match.

Northen Tool did not have them when I looked the other day. I will call GC Spring tomorrow.

Is there a Tractor Supply around? | |||

| Just because something is legal to do doesn't mean it is the smart thing to do. |
Around here I would just take off one of the springs and take to a local spring shop. If they didn't have them in stock they would get them or make them. Might take a couple days. Integrity is doing the right thing, even when nobody is looking. | |||

I know they are not near you. But I have in the past used them a lot and was never not able to locate what I needed. https://bettsspring.com/ It also may be able to cut the leaf spring mounts off the trailer and weld on new mounts to match a more common leaf spring. Good luck. Beware the man who only has one gun. He probably knows how to use it! - John Steinbeck | |||

Yes, but even on their website did not find the right spring.

Unfortunately no luck there either. Bought some other components there, but they did not have a match for the springs.

Try a marine/boat trailer supply store. The amount of leafs does not matter as long as they fit, the weight rating does matter.

A thought maybe there is a reason you want to keep it original. But why not buy a set of springs and have the mounts welded to your trailer to fit the new set? ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ | |||

Thank you for the links. The third one has (sort of) what I need, but they are double the price of what I had previously found. Keeping this link here for reference as this is what I need, but again the price is crazy - https://www.boattrailerparts.c...r-spring-_p_887.html Steve Small Business Website Design & Maintenance - https://spidercreations.net | OpSpec Training - https://opspectraining.com | Grayguns - https://grayguns.com Evil exists.

Comes down to cost. After I media blast this thing and paint it myself, I'm already about 15% more than it would cost to buy a new trailer. Yeah, maybe it's not a good financial move to rebuild this thing, but there is a bit of a sentimental value to this thing. I don't weld, so would have to figure out a way to get it somewhere. It weighs 500 pounds. Steve Small Business Website Design & Maintenance - https://spidercreations.net | OpSpec Training - https://opspectraining.com | Grayguns - https://grayguns.com Evil exists.

Well it could be plan B, if you know anyone that can weld? There are mobile welders ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ | |||

I'll consider that and start looking for mobile welders.
