The # BP08-070 measures 4 inches in length. The coiled portion of the spring is 1-5/8 inches in length and 13/16 of an inch in diameter. I've provided a photo showing these dimensions. This spring is the correct length to replace your existing spring, although it might be stiffer than your existing spring.
