While we do have a way to measure your leaf springs, we do not have the specs that show the exact leaf spring size on a 2020 Forest River Cherokee Alpha Wolf 26DBH-L.

With that being said, you can definitely figure out the measurements you need on your trailer. The measurements you need depend on if you have double-eye leaf springs or slipper springs on your rig.

If you have double eye springs, here is the information we need:

- number of leaves needed
- axle weight rating
- length of center eye to center eye
- length of center eye to the center of the spring
- height
- leaf spring capacity

I went ahead and added a diagram that shows you an example of these dimensions.

If you have slipper springs, here is the information we need:

- number of leaves needed
- axle weight rating
- length of center eye to end of spring slipper
- length of center eye to highest slipper point
- height
- leaf spring capacity

I went ahead and added a diagram that shows you an example of these dimensions.

In order to assist you with these measurements and to walk you through the process, I went ahead and linked two separate articles on how to conduct these measurements. They appear in Section 2 of both articles.

Once you get these measurements, I will be happy to assist you with finding exact replacements if you need them.
