• Double Eye 26 inch long 3 Leaf, Leaf Spring Availability
  
• The closest match that we currently have to the leaf spring that you are looking to replace is either part # SP-124275 which is rated for 2,000 lbs or part # SP-051275 which is rated for 4,000 lbs.

• 2,500 lb Axle Trailer Leaf Spring Recommendation
  
• As long as you stay under the capacity for the springs you are fine. They are designed to be safe and reliable up to their capacity so going with heavier duty springs doesn't really gain anything. It just might give you a harsher ride quality. We have 2,500 lb axle springs as part # SP-219275 which would work well for you. These are 25-1/8 inches long.

• Replacement 2,200 lb Trailer Leaf Spring that is 25-1/4 inches Long
  
• 25-1/4 inch leaf springs are a very common length. For a leaf spring that is rated for a 2,500 lb axle that is 25-1/4 inches long you would want the part # SP-219275. If instead you meant 2,200 lbs per spring you would want the # SP-218275 instead.

• Replacement Leaf Spring Recommendation for Trailer with 25-1/8 inch Springs and 2k Capacity
  
• Most likely the measurement is 25-1/8 inch as that is a common size. But in most cases we recommend measuring the spring with it off the trailer and typically there is a bit of stretch to old springs by around 1/2 inch or so. The spring you would want is the part # SP-219275 as it matches the capacity needed closely and it has a length of 25-1/8 inches like you have. When picking out leaf springs priority one is picking out the correct capacity and then finding a spring that is close...

• Can 2,000 lb Trailer Leaf Springs be Replaced with 2,500 lb Leaf Springs
  
• You certainly can go with a 2,500 lb rated axle leaf spring on a trailer that currently have 2,000 lb capacities. It would just give you a slightly stiffer suspension setup. You should note that doing this does not give you any additional weight capacity for your trailer. The weight capacity for a trailer is determined by several things like the axle capacity, brake capacity, coupler capacity etc. The part # SP219275 that you referenced would be a great 2,500 lb leaf spring. It measure...

• How Can I Determine The Weight Capacity Of the Leaf Springs on a 1996 Mobile Scout RFK-30 5th Wheel
  
• To determine the capacity leaf springs you have on your 1996 Mobile Scout RFK-30 fifth-wheel trailer you should look on the frame of your trailer for a plate that will have the VIN number, there should also be a listing for the axle ratings too. You can also tell the weight capacity of the axle by measuring the diameter of the axle. A 3,500-lb. axle will have a diameter of 2-3/8 inches and a 6,000-lb. to 7,200-lb. axle will have a diameter of 3 inches. I am sending a link to an FAQ page...

• Recommended Leaf Springs and U-Bolt Kit for New Trailer Axle
  
• The Dexter Idler Trailer Axle w/ Hubs # 20545I-EZ-60-10 referenced in your question is a 2,200 pound axle. In order to choose the correct size leaf springs, I recommend measuing the length of your existing/previous set. For example, the 3-Leaf Double-Eye Spring # SP-219275 has a length of 25-1/8 inches from the center of spring eye to the center of spring eye. You will want to get as close as you can to the length of your previous leaf springs, keeping in mind that they may have stretched...

• Trailer Leaf Spring Recommendations for a Boat Trailer with 1,900 Pound Boat
  
• The leaf springs should be rated to match the axle on the trailer. Spring # SP-256275 is rated for 2,250 pounds per spring so it fits 4,500 pound axles. These springs would be overkill for a boat weighing up to 1,900 pounds and it would be a very stiff and jarring ride for your boat. Your trailer axle may have a capacity listed on it somewhere and if not then there should be some capacity information on a placard or sticker near the front of the trailer somewhere. Whatever the gross...

• Picking Out Trailer Leaf Springs for Trailer with 30 inches between Hangers
  
• To pick out the correct suspension components for a trailer you want to do it by most importantly picking out the springs that closely match the capacity of the axle capacity needed. That is priority one. For example if you were using the springs part # 1020, # SP-219275, # SP-111275, # SP-218275, # SP-115275, or # SP-220275 with the hanger kit part # APT5 that comes with equalizers that are 7-3/4 inches long you would want the hanger spacing to be 29-1/2 inches which is pretty close...

• Recommended Trailer Axle for 6 Foot Wide Trailer
  
• For a 6 foot wide trailer I recommend the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System with Hubs - 5 on 4-1/2 - Regular Tires - 2,000 lbs # A20RS545. This system will allow you to simply attach the assembly to the frame and then use a 2 inch square bar between the assemblies in the integrated holes. If you have a cross brace at the axle location, this bar (not included) is not needed. This will give you the perfect fit on your frame and will extend the wheels to the outside of the frame....

• How Much Space Should be Between the Top of the Axles and the Bottom of a Boat Trailer
  
• Normally when using hanger kit # AP233-H248 with spring # SP-219275 the distance from the bottom of the frame to the center of the axles is going to be approximately 4-1/2 inches. Subtract half the width of the frame then to the top of the axles that would be 3-5/16 inches. Two inches might work out fine depending on how far the suspension travels but more height would likely be needed considering the heavier load. Hanger kit # APT4 would provide more height since it has taller hangers...

These leaf springs are designed for use on trailers with 3,500 lb axles like what you should have on your trailer. You should note that leaf springs have a tendency to stretch out over time, so the fact that these leaf springs are a little bit shorter than your current springs at 25-1/4 inches these would be the correct...

• Broken Leaf Spring Replacement Recommendation for 23-1/8 inch 2,500 lb Axle Springs
  
• If you don't want to move your current hangers we have a 3,500 lb axle leaf spring part # SP-216275 which would fit and would work well. The ride might be a bit stiffer but it would still work well. The 2,500 lb axle springs we have are longer like the # SP-219275 which is 25-1/8 inches long and would require moving you hangers. You'll want to replace the springs as a pair for the axle. Since the springs would be different rating you'll want to replace all of them so they all match.

• Replacing Inverted Leaf Spring Suspension on Old Utility Trailer
  
• The first thing you will want to do is to remove the current springs from the frame and the axle. You can still use your axle if it is in good working order, but you will also want to remove any hardware welded to the axle. To install leaf springs, you will first want a hanger kit. For your single axle trailer, I recommend Redline's Single-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for Double-Eye Springs # APS1. This hanger kit will have a 1-1/2 inch drop for the front hanger, and a 7/8 inch drop for...

• Can a 4-Leaf Trailer Leaf Spring be Used in Place of a 3-Leaf Spring
  
• Yes, you can use 4-leaf springs in place of 3 leaf springs. The extra height of an additional leaf is minimal and won't really affect anything on the trailer. Provided that the springs used are replaced in pairs and not just one side of the trailer and they are the right length and capacity for the trailer you will be good to go.

• Leaf Spring Recommendation for Boat Trailer with 4,425 lb Capacity and 26 inch Long Springs
  
• You are on the right track for picking out springs. You would want to split the total trailer capacity in two and then go with that number when picking out springs. Our springs are rated per axle though. The closest to that would be the part # SP-219275 which is a 2,500 lb axle spring that measures 25-1/8 inches in length. Springs tend to stretch over time so yours being older and 26 inches would match well with this.

• How to Pick Out Leaf Springs for a Venture Model VBT Trailer that has 26 inch Long Springs
  
• Dimensionally we have several double eye leaf springs that will work, but you will need to know the axle capacity of your trailer so that you pick out the correct rated spring. If you have 2,500 axles you would want part # SP-219275, 3,500 axles part # SP-220275, 4,800 lb axles part# SP-212275, 6,000 lb axles part # SP-111275. You'll notice that all of these springs are 25-1/4 inches long. Springs tend to stretch out over time and that is why yours measured a bit longer at 26 inches.
