Step 2: Measure Width of Spring
Measure the width of the spring. The majority of trailer springs for boat, motorcycle, horse, camping, flatbed, and utility trailers range from 1-3/4 to 2 inches wide. To determine the width, measure across the top of the top leaf.
Step 3: Measure Length of Spring
Measure the length of the spring. If you are replacing a spring, getting the same length is important. To measure the free length, refer to the letter “C” below. It is important that your trailer is unloaded when measuring the length.
When determining length (C), measure from the center of one spring eye to the center of the other spring eye for double eye springs. Measurements will vary depending on the age and fatigue of your spring. We offer a large selection of trailer springs. Determining the length first, will narrow your selection down considerably and make finding the correct spring quicker.
