What Length Leaf Spring Replacement for 2018 Forest River Salem 280 RT

Published 04/26/2023

Question:

2018 Forest River Salem 280 RT toy hauler. How can I get an accurate eye-to-eye leaf spring measurement when my springs are flat? If they are flat, arent they going to be longer than they should? They are reading 26 inches now, but unsure what length I should actually order. They are also 4 leaf and I would like to upgrade to 5 or 6 if possible.

If a leaf spring is 26 inches long when worn out and flat you most likely are in need of new springs that are the very common size of 25-1/8 or 25-1/4 inch. I don't know what axle capacity your trailer has but I attached links to a page that has all of the options we carry in those two sizes.
