Yes, a 1,500 watt element like the part # CAM02143 that you referenced would work just fine in place of a 1,440 watt element. As long as the water heater has an 8 inch minimum tank diameter this would work well. Here's a list of the brands of water heaters this fits:

American, A.O. Smith, Bradford White, Craftmaster, General Electric, GS Wood, Kenmore, Lochinvar, Maytag, Mor-Flo, Reliance, Rheem, Richmond, Ruud, Sears, State, and Whirlpool (edit: also Suburban).

You can use leaf springs that are rated higher than the axle without any issues as long as they measure the correct measurement for your trailer. For example the 6-leaf double eye spring for 7,000 lb axles part #e64SR measures 24-7/8" eye to…

Hey Rusty! Can you measure the flat length? Check out the help article below which explains how to measure. This is the best solution for worn out leaf springs. Realistically they're probably a little shorter than 24-7/8" which means we…
