The most important part of a trailers suspension system is the leaf springs. In the case of double eye leaf springs, they attach at the eyes by spring hangers. On tandem and triple axle trailers there are spring hangers located in the front and rear with equalizers in the middle. You must know the type of leaf spring system and the trailer axles diameter and capacity you have when determining the type of spring hangers or hanger kit you need. The higher the number of leafs on a spring increases the weight capacity of the spring.

The only maintenance required in general for trailer leaf springs is to ensure they are correctly rinsed off when used in salt water. It's also a good idea to apply lubricant to moving parts for general care.
