Part Number: 072-032-00 3,500 lb Each 2" x 26-1/8" Slipper Spring
Overview
This genuine Dexter slipper-style leaf spring is designed for 3,500 lb trailer axle applications using a 2" wide slipper spring. The spring uses a 5-leaf construction, measures approximately 26-1/8" from slipper hook to eye, and is commonly used in tandem 7,000 lb trailer setups when installed as a matched pair.
R&P Service Insight
Slipper springs must be matched by length, width, capacity, arch, and spring style before installation. A close measurement check helps prevent ride-height issues, axle alignment problems, and uneven trailer support.
- Measure First: Verify the 26-1/8" slipper hook-to-eye length before ordering.
- Replace in Pairs: Springs should be replaced in pairs when needed to help maintain balanced suspension performance.
- Check Related Hardware: Inspect hangers, equalizers, U-bolts, spring seats, and surrounding suspension hardware during service.
R&P Knowledge Hub
Compatibility: Designed for 3,500 lb trailer axle applications using a 2" wide slipper-style leaf spring.
Vehicle / System Fit: Commonly used in trailer suspension systems, including tandem 7,000 lb trailer setups when installed as a matched pair.
Installation Notes: Proper measurement from slipper hook to eye, leaf count, arch height, center thickness, and spring capacity are critical for correct ride height and axle alignment.
Performance Insight: Slipper leaf springs are commonly used on utility, equipment, and cargo trailers where the rear of the spring slides within a hanger rather than using a second spring eye.
