Question:

Hello, We need to secure a replacement leaf spring for our 5th wheel rv. The manufacturer says its a dexter Part number 072-098-00. The description is Leafspring - 26 Double Eye -1.75 Wide - Max capacity is 3500 lbs. Do you have this or similar parts including the hardware? Thank you

The leaf spring that best matches your description is the following from Universal Group:

- 6-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 7,000-lb Trailer Axles - 24-7/8" Long # e64SR

We measure our leaf springs when they are relaxed but Dexter will measure theirs when they are under a load, which is why you see the length difference.

Be sure to replace the leaf spring on both sides of any given axle for best performance, tracking, and trailer ride quality.
