Question:
Hi Jared, I got a moment to measure my springs with the trailer jacked up They are 29 inches long. They are a slipper spring with the flat end not the curved end. They are 2 inches wide. And measure from the eye to the center bolt 14 inches from the flat at the rear of the spring to the center bolt is 15 inches. There are six leafs in the pack and they are 9000 pound Dexter axles with a GVW of 20,000 pounds on the trailer.

Hey Rich, thanks so much for getting back to me! The Dexter 6-Leaf Slipper Spring item # DX83QR you were looking at is going to be our closest option for those measurements you provided. They're a bit longer on the back end, as these are 30" long, but the eye bolt to center measurement is the same.
