Hello John,

Great question. If you have a double eye leaf spring on the trailer, then you will not be able to replace it with the 3-Leaf Slipper Spring w/ Flat End for 2,900-lb Trailer Axles - 30" Long # e49SR.

What kind of leaf spring do you have on your set-up? What is the axle capacity? What is the measurement from eye to eye with the weight off the spring? It is normal to have a measurement that is longer than what you need as they do stretch over time. I attached some images to show where to measure the leaf spring. Please reply with those answers so I can get you the right leaf spring.
