There are different leaf spring lengths available for your axle capacity, so you will need to measure from the center of spring eye to spring eye.

We have these 3 options:
3-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 2,000-lb Trailer Axles - 20-3/8" Long # e84SR
4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 2,000-lb Trailer Axles - 26" Long # e77SR
3-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 2,000-lb Trailer Axles - 23-1/2" Long # SP-113275

For your connection to your hangers, you will want the Shackle Bolt with Locknut for Double-Eye Springs - 3" Long # 166081. If you want new axle mounting hardware, you can use the U-Bolt Kit for Mounting 2,000-lb, Round Trailer Axles - 4-1/4" Long U-Bolts # APUBR-10.
