Expert Reply:

Leaf springs flatten out over time, so since yours are 25-1/2" center to center, you'll want to go with ones a little shorter than that:

- 3-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 4,000-lb Trailer Axles - 25-1/4" Long - Dacromet # e93SR

The # e93SR says for "4,000 lb" axles but that is just their capacity; you said you have 2-3/8" axles, which is a 3,500 lb axle, so this will give you a bit of added strength.

You mentioned 3" shackle bolts as well, and for those use # 166081. Then for the U-bolts, use the 2-3/8" CE Smith U-Bolt Kit for Mounting 3,500-lb, Round Trailer Axles # CE23002.
