Hi Brian; what is your axle capacity? I'm not sure what the 4" measurement is either, possibly a 4" lift/drop? The closest thing we have in length is a 72" axle like the # e78GR. This would be 1/4" shorter on each side and has a 2,000 lb capacity. You would also have to cut off the spring seats and weld on # TRSS175 to match your 60" measurement. The only other option we have is a universal system like the # ASR2000S01 which fits any trailer width.
For leaf springs, I will once again need to know your axle capacity as well as the length of the leaf springs. I went ahead and added a link to a help article below which explains how to measure. If you can add that information in the comments below I will see what is available.
