I can certainly point you in the right direction. I am not able to recommend leaf springs and brackets based on a model of trailer or Vin number. If only it were so easy right? Generally only the manufacturer of the trailer will have that kind of information.

When replacing leaf springs we do want the new springs to be basically identical to the old springs. The best way is for your to measure each spring. Double eye leaf springs are measured across from center eye to center eye. It is best to jack up the trailer and measure the spring when not under a load. You will also want to confirm the weight capacity of each axle, so that we can get you an appropriately sized spring.

We also do offer hanger/bracket kits like the # APS4 for a single axle trailer, or the # K71-359-00 for tandem axle. There are a lot of different kits out there with different sized shackles and equalizers. You will want to measure the current suspension components and make sure the new parts are identical in size.
