Although we do not carry leaf springs that will work with this kit, I can tall you that the slipper springs you need for the Dexter Tandem-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for 2" Slipper Springs - 42-1/4" Axle Spacing # HAP-105-205-02 will need to be a bit longer than 35 inches in order to exceed the distance between the center hanger and the front or rear hangers.

This kit is for 9,000 lb Dexter axles so you will also want to get springs rated for that amount.
