Blane, what you're looking for is the 7-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 8,000-lb Trailer Axles # DX74XR. This spring has a 4k capacity, will work with 8k axles, has 1 3/4" wide leaves.

You'll notice that these springs are a bit shorter, but that's because Dexter measures their springs under load and we measure ours relaxed, which is why there is a difference.

@BryceD i also have a 350g and want to upgrade. I received part number 072-098-02 from dexter and my build sheet shows 2” I have a CRE3000 load equalizer as well. I am loaded and it measures 26” so does dexter measure flat along spring and maybe it is shorter straight along top?

@Mark I'm not quite sure, but that definitely sounds like a possibility.
