Hey Larry thanks for the information! The Dexter part number you gave me 072-078-00 corresponds to the 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 4,400-lb Trailer Axles - 25-1/4" Long item # DX95CR. To bump up to a heavier duty spring, you'll want the 5-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 6,000-lb Trailer Axles - 25-1/4" Long item # e34SR.

Hey Larry, how did things turn out with the 5-leaf springs for your Freedom Express? Did the heavier setup help keep the springs from flattening out? Your update could make it easier for others upgrading their trailer suspension.
