AL-KO 7 Leaf x 60mm Jayco Tandem Springs

The AL-KO 7-Leaf x 60mm Tandem Rocker Springs are a premium heavy-duty suspension solution engineered specifically for tandem-axle caravans and trailers. Widely used as factory-fitted or upgrade components on popular Jayco caravan models (such as the Sterling and Silverline series), these springs utilise a rocker-roller design to ensure optimal load sharing and a smoother ride on harsh Australian roads.

Constructed from high-grade spring steel, the 60mm width provides superior lateral stability and twist resistance compared to standard 45mm springs. This setup lets the suspension dynamically share payload weight between both axles, maintaining maximum tyre contact with the ground even on uneven terrain, potholes, or corrugations.

The shackle spring kit contains

Caravan tandem springs are 60mm wide and are among the best investments you can make in your suspension system.

How so? 60mm springs twist less and are more robust, better withstanding shock loading from potholes, railway lines, cattle grids, and corrugations.

If you choose 45mm-wide springs and a lower-cost suspension system, you must determine whether your trailer is suitable for harsh conditions or for local use.

OK, so right now, you understand that spending a few extra dollars is a better investment for your family adventures.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are these springs a direct drop-in replacement for my Jayco caravan?

A: Yes, these 60mm-wide springs are the standard configuration for many tandem-axle Jayco caravans. However, because suspension specifications can vary by manufacturing year and chassis upgrades, you must measure your existing spring width (60mm vs. 45mm) and eye-to-eye length before purchasing.

Q: What is the benefit of a 60mm spring over a 45mm spring?

A: The 60mm width provides a much sturdier platform. It significantly reduces lateral sway, offers higher resistance to twisting under heavy loads, and handles the vibrations of corrugated or unsealed roads much better than narrower alternatives.

Q: Should I replace all the springs at the same time?

A: It is highly recommended to replace leaf springs in axle pairs or as a complete tandem set. Mixing old, sagged springs with new, stiff springs will cause uneven load distribution, unpredictable towing handling, and accelerated tyre wear.

Q: Do these replacement springs come with bushes installed?

A: Most standard AL-KO replacement springs come pre-fitted with a 16mm nylon or brass eye bush. Check with your retailer to confirm whether new shackle bolts, shackle plates, or rocker pins are included or must be purchased separately.
