FWN-016 1184 LB 5 Leaf Trailer Leaf Spring

The FWN-016 trailer leaf spring is a five-leaf suspension component designed for compatible utility trailer applications that require dependable axle support and consistent towing performance. With a rated capacity of 1184 lb per spring, its multi-leaf construction provides balanced support while allowing the spring to flex under changing road and load conditions. The flat end slipper configuration offers a practical mounting solution for trailer suspension assemblies designed for this type of spring.

Durable 5 Leaf Construction

The five-leaf laminated construction allows multiple spring leaves to work together when the trailer is loaded. This arrangement helps distribute suspension forces across the spring while providing the flexibility needed to absorb road impacts during towing. With a 1.75-inch leaf width, the FWN-016 is designed to provide a balanced combination of structural support and controlled suspension movement for suitable utility trailer applications.

Flat End Slipper Configuration

Unlike double-eye leaf springs, the flat end slipper design uses a slipper-style end that works with compatible trailer suspension hardware. As the spring flexes during operation, the slipper end allows controlled movement within the suspension arrangement. This configuration is commonly selected for trailer designs where the suspension layout is intended to accommodate slipper-style leaf springs.

1184 lb Load Capacity for Trailer Suspension

Each FWN-016 spring is rated for a 1184 lb capacity, providing a defined load-support level for compatible utility trailer applications. Selecting the correct spring capacity is important because trailer suspension components must correspond to the intended axle and load requirements. A properly matched leaf spring can help maintain appropriate suspension movement, load distribution, and towing stability.

Replacement Considerations for Utility Trailers

The FWN-016 has an approximate length of 25 1/8 inches and a leaf width of 1 3/4 inches, making dimensional compatibility an important consideration when replacing an existing trailer leaf spring. Buyers should compare the replacement spring with the original component, including its length, width, leaf configuration, mounting arrangement, bushing specification, and rated capacity.

Before installation, the surrounding suspension components should also be inspected. Hangers, shackles, bushings, bolts, and other mounting hardware can affect the way a leaf spring operates. Replacing worn components at the same time may help maintain proper suspension geometry and reduce unnecessary stress on the new spring.

Bushing and Construction Details

The FWN-016 uses a PE-225 bushing configuration and a five-leaf arrangement. Bushing compatibility is an important part of trailer suspension replacement because the connection between the spring and mounting hardware must allow the intended suspension movement. Verifying the existing trailer configuration before ordering can help avoid fitment issues and unnecessary modifications.

Suitable for Trailer Replacement and Assembly

The FWN-016 can be used for compatible trailer suspension replacement and new trailer assembly requirements. Its five-leaf structure and 1184 lb capacity provide a practical option for applications that require more load support than lighter configurations. The defined dimensions and slipper-style design also make it easier for trailer manufacturers, distributors, and aftermarket suppliers to evaluate compatibility.

For replacement applications, the spring should be selected according to the actual suspension requirements rather than by appearance alone. Matching the load rating and physical dimensions helps ensure that the new component works correctly with the existing axle and mounting arrangement. Proper installation is equally important for achieving reliable suspension performance during regular trailer use.
