Expert Reply:

The 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 3,500-lb Trailer Axles - 27" Long # SP-210275 will work with your vintage trailer. It looks from the photo like you would also need the Replacement U-Bolt with Nuts for 2" Wide, Square Trailer Axles - 9/16" Diameter # 175211 and the U-Bolt Plate - 2" Wide, Square Trailer Axle - 1-3/4" Wide Spring - 9/16" Bolts # TRTP200175.

You will need to reuse your shackle straps, but you can use the Wet Equalizer Bolt with Locknut and Grease Zerk for Double-Eye Springs - 3" Long # 126B2 or 3-1/2 inch long # 126A1
