5in. x 16in x 275# Rear Spring

The 5in. x 16in x 275# Rear Spring from LANDRUM SPRINGS is a purpose-built suspension component engineered for vehicles requiring increased load capacity and improved ride stability. Whether you're upgrading a pickup truck, van, or heavy-duty vehicle that carries consistent payload, this rear spring delivers the structural support needed to maintain proper chassis geometry and prevent sagging under weight. Landrum Springs has built a reputation among automotive professionals for manufacturing springs that balance durability with consistent performance across varied driving conditions.

This rear spring features a 275-pound load rating, meaning it provides 275 pounds of spring force per inch of compression—a critical specification for vehicles operating at or near GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). The 5-inch width and 16-inch length dimensions are standard for full-size truck applications, allowing direct bolt-on installation without frame modification. The coil-over or leaf-spring design maintains proper axle alignment while resisting deflection, ensuring consistent handling and brake balance during loaded towing or heavy hauling scenarios. At 8.95 lbs, the spring's weight is optimized to avoid unnecessary unsprung mass while providing the rigidity needed for safe load distribution.

Mechanics and fleet operators choose this Landrum rear spring when OEM springs have fatigued from years of service or when upgrading to a higher payload capacity. It's ideal for those towing trailers, hauling construction materials, or adding roof racks and toolboxes that shift the vehicle's center of gravity. Proper spring selection directly impacts braking performance, tire wear patterns, and transmission longevity—making this component a critical investment in suspension health. Installation requires no welding or cutting, though professional alignment is recommended post-installation to ensure optimal tire contact and suspension geometry.
