Question:

I have a ‘21 shadow Crusier 248RKS travel trailer. I’m going on a xcountry trip 6500mi and want to carry an extra set of leaf springs. Can you help me identify the correct leaf springs to order?

I can help you determine the right replacement leaf springs for your 2021 Shadow Cruiser 248RKS, though we don't have any way of knowing what specific ones you need. It's pretty easy though, as what you'll need to do is measure your current leaf springs from center-to-center of the spring eyes, and you also need to know the weight rating of your axle. I looked up your trailer's specs and you likely have 3,500 lb or 4,000 lb axles, but you will want to verify.

Also keep in mind leaf springs also flatten a bit over time, so you should go with ones that measure a bit shorter than what you currently have. For example, if your springs measured 25-3/4 inches you could go with the 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 4,000-lb Trailer Axles - 26" Long # e48SR.

I have added a link below to our entire selection of leaf springs, or if you let me know your axle capacity and leaf spring measurements, I can try and point you in the right direction.
