Question:
Need new springs for my weekend warrior toy hauler. Max capacity is 7800 lbs. looking for 25.25” 4 leaf double eye springs. I found a 3 leaf spring in your inventory that was 2000lb capacity per spring, but no 4 leaf spring. Is there a difference between a 3 leaf Vs a 4 leaf spring. The 4 leaf springs are 1750 lbs 7,000 lb total or 2500 lbs per Spring at 10,000 lbs Would using the 2500 lbs springs on the axels be too much at 10,000 lbs. I would never go over the 7800 lb max capacity of my toyhauler.

Expert Reply:
In order to choose the correct replacement leaf springs for a trailer you'll need to know both the unloaded length and axle capacity. The number of springs is not relevant so long as you choose a set that matches the axle capacity as springs can have different thicknesses therefore different weight capacities not necessarily dependent on the number of leaves. A few other things to keep in mind is that leaf springs can lengthen over time and you need to replace them in pairs. I have attached some options below which will be based on axle capacity.
