Re: trailer question
I had leaf springs last as long as my oldest trailer 16 years.
As pointed out check of the U bolts. They will rust like hell. The leafs also have movement. So does the pivot bolt attaching them to the frame.
Get some silicone ( Not WD-40) spray in between the leafs and spray or light grease inside the pivot bolt housing on frame. If you jack up the trailer frame allowing the wheels to droop you will see how much they slide fore and aft play there is. A LOT.
Spray in between leafs to coat. The springs will take shock as good as new.
