Question:
Looking for replacement trailer spring. I have 1975 DIlly trailer with slipper leaf springs, 31.5 long overall, but trailer is rated 930 lb GAWR. I cant find any similar replacements, all similar ratings are much shorter, while similar lengths have much higher weight ratings.

Hey Sean, thanks for reaching out!
All of the options we carry fit what you found, so you might try reaching out to a local trailer shop to see if they are able to custom order you some replacement leaf springs.
Aside from that, the only other solution we have is to have your old hangers cut off and new ones, like the Kit # APS3SE, welded on so a shorter slipper spring like the 24-5/8" # e36SR can be used.
