I would be happy to help you find the correct replacement slipper leaf springs for your dual jet ski trailer, but you will need to identify the axle rating of your axle and the width of your slipper spring.

To find the axle rating you will want to check the axle tag located on the center of the axle, as it will have the axle rating listed. If the axle tag is missing you can use the GVWR of the trailer divided by the number of axles to get a rough idea.

For example if your trailer has a 1-3/4" wide slipper spring and a 2000lb axle capacity I recommend the 4-Leaf Slipper Spring w/ Radius End for 2,000-lb Trailer Axles - 24-5/8" Long # SP-179275 which measures 24-5/8" as shown in the included diagram.

If this matches the the axle rating of your trailer, and the width of your current leaf spring this would be a great replacement option.

If you axle has a different rating or your spring is a different width just let me know.

I included a video of the # SP-178275 for you to take a look at.
