A trailer leaf spring is an essential component of a trailer's suspension. It provides support to leaf springs and axles as it ensures a smooth ride over bumps and rough terrain.
The trailer leaf spring hanger is the metal component that holds the leaf springs to the trailer frame. It prevents the suspension system from moving and assists the trailer in remaining stable during towing. If the leaf spring hanger isn't effective, the trailer can bounce a lot, sway, or can even disengage from the frame.
To help maintain your truck spring hangers in good condition, regularly inspect them for any signs of wear or damage. If the door isn’t working, check for cracks, rust or loose bolts. You can use oil on the bolts and bushings to prevent them from getting stuck or getting damaged too easily to look after your leaf spring hangers.

This will add extra strength and to support the heavier weight on your suspension system.
