Before measuring the leaf springs on your 2018 Continental Model EC2K12-1200 Canoe/Kayak Trailer you will want to get the weight off the springs by raising your trailer to where the tires are just touching the ground.
For your slipper springs you will want to measure the points in the included picture. These measurements along with the width and weight capacity will help you to identify the correct replacement springs. You will want to ensure that the design of the spring also matches your springs as there are different slipper spring designs.
