Expert Reply:
Since your axle's tag cannot be read to confirm its weight capacity we can help you estimate this by comparing the weight ratings of springs similar to yours. This will not necessarily be exact but it will get you in the ballpark. Thank you for the helpful details about the trailer.
The spring we offer that is nearest to your description - 6-leaf and 26-inches eye-to-eye - is Redline part # e27SR. This 1-3/4-inch wide spring is rated for use on 4500-lb axles.
