While I have no way to lookup the parts for your Kodiak Hitch on your Big Tex trailer I believe you are looking for a spring like the Bulldog Replacement # BD500354. This spring has an overall length of 1-7/8". If the spring you are looking for is different than this type please send me an image of your specific coupler and where the spring sits so I can verify if we have what you are needing.
