leaf spring play

I have the axles off of my 27 ft travel trailer and have a lot of "slop" in side to side play- maybe 2" at the center of the spring. Some play is at the shackles, then more at the center "rocker" and at the plates that drop the springs down about 3".
When the axles are installed the play will be greatly reduced.
Question: how much play is acceptable when the springs are hanging free of the axle?
