Hey Robert,

It looks like the closest option we offer to 20" would be the etrailer Rust-Resistant 3-Leaf Double Eye Spring for 2K Trailer Axles - 20-3/8" Long - Dacromet # e53SR that you were already looking at. A 3/8" difference shouldn't cause an issue but I would like to know the axle capacity and whether the trailer was lifted by the frame or if the suspension was bearing weight while you measured for the leaf springs to confirm fitment.

Hi Kevin I looked them up on the venture website. They are supposed to be 4leaf 20 inch double eye I believe the axels are 2500lbs the trailer capacity is 6800lbs the boat weighs around 5000lbs. Unfortunately venture website simply states out of stock no other info. I was hoping you had something compatible in the dacromet finish where the trailer is in salt water the springs I bought last year are already rotted

@Robert The # e53SR is going to be the only thing that we have close to what you need in terms of length. If the trailer axles are rated for 2,500lbs then a 2,000lb spring isn't going to be rated high enough to handle the load and would likely flatten out or break. I'm sorry we don't have a better alternative at this time.
