Expert Reply:

The # CA-5196-SPR was not designed for a Bulldog 2-5/16" coupler, but measures the 1.68" long and .040" diameter so you can compare that to your current spring to determine if this is going to work for you.

If this won't, just send me over the part number of your coupler and I can try to find the correct replacement for you.
