Question:

I have tandem 3500 axles. I want to put new springs on. Are there heavy duty or 5 or 6 leaf springs available? I changed drums and brakes a few years back which I purchased from you. Wish I had changed springs at that time. I know I need to get you more information and I will. Thanks

Expert Reply:

The leaf springs we offer for 3,500 lb axles are 4-leaf setups like the part # e54SR which is 25-1/8 inch long. The next capacity we offer higher than this is 4,500 lb which is also a 6-leaf setup with the part number # e27SR. This one happens to be 26 inches long. Going with additional leaves would not gain you anything substantial in terms of capacity and reliability so I would easily recommend a 4-leaf setup.
