Question:
I need new leaf springs for my car trailer. My old springs are 1 3/4” wide and 14” from the mounting bolt to the centering pin and have 5 plates total that make up the spring.

Expert Reply:
Without knowing what axle capacity you have it's hard to say exactly what leaf spring you would need. But for a 5 leaf spring we only have 6k axle springs like the part # e34SR which is 25-1/4 inches long overall. Normally the two pieces of info needed for replacement springs is axle capacity (most important) and length so that you hopefully don't have to move hangers. The amount of leafs does not typically matter.
