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.
