Leaf springs are critical suspension components that flex to absorb shock while maintaining trailer stability and ensuring a smooth ride. The slipper spring design allows for versatile mounting configurations in single-axle, tandem-axle, or triple-axle trailer setups. For optimal axle alignment and suspension performance, Dexter recommends replacing leaf springs in pairs.
