In order to find the correct replacement leaf springs for a trailer you will need to remove the old leaf springs you have now and note the unloaded length as well as the construction (double eye/slipper) and axle capacity. Once you have these three bits of info you can then take a look at our selection and find one that matches this criteria. The new leaf spring will be shorter than the old one as leaf springs wear out over time. I would not be able to do this for you with the information provided.

For example, the 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring part # e54SR that you referenced is a double eye leaf spring with 25-1/8" eye to eye spacing and is for a 3,500 lb axle.
