We have just what you are looking for.
The slipper springs we offer for a 7,000 lb axle are part # e74SR. This is a 5-leaf spring that measures 26-5/8 inches long and 2 inches wide. It is always recommended to replace both sides of the trailer suspension at the same time to make sure they wear evenly and support the trailer evenly as well. You can check out the attached photo with the dimensions noted for the leaf spring. When checking the dimension of the spring you will want to check the spacing of the spring hangers to make sure they have the right spacing for the springs. If not you may need to replace one or both of the hangers, which should be welded in place by a certified professional.
We also offer U-bolt kits that will work with a 7,000 lb axle. I recommend part # APUBR-9 if you need U-bolts that are 7-1/4 inches long, and part # APUBR-8 for 7 inch long U-bolts. These kits include the U-bolts, plates, and hex nuts needed to attach the leaf springs to your axle.
I have attached some product review videos and a helpful article you can check out.
