I need two things to help you pick out the correct leaf springs for your trailer. I need to know the axle capacity of your trailer as well as the length from eye to eye without a load on your trailer. With those two pieces of info I can help you pick out the correct springs.

A likely candidate for what you need is the part # e54SR which is for the very popular axle capacity of 3,500 lb and is 25-1/8 inches long. This would be about the right length when your spring doesn't have a load on it most likely.

Thanks for getting back to me with that! So the best option is going to be either the part # e34SR which is 25-1/4 inches long or the # SP-221275 which is 25-1/8. Both of these are 6k axles. So here's what I would do at this point. Jack the trailer up so that there's no load on the spring and get the length. Whatever that lengh is subtract around 1/2 an inch and that's the right length replacement spring to go with.
