Hey Scot, thanks for all of the details!

The D52 on your axle should mean that the axle is rated for 5,200 lbs so if that 26" you measured is with the frame lifted up so there isn't pressure on the spring, then I recommend picking up the etrailer # e88SR which has a Dacromet finish and a slightly higher weight rating (6K) which will all help to increase the life of the leaf spring.

If you measured the 26" with the weight of the trailer on the leaf spring, then you'll need something a little shorter than that, like the etrailer # e78SR which measures 25-1/4" long and has the same Dacromet finish and 6K rating I mentioned above.

Let me know if you have any other questions, or if you have additional information to add!

Hey Scot, how did things turn out with the leaf spring for your Dexter axle? Did the 26-inch or the 25-1/4-inch spring end up being the right fit? Your update could make it easier for others working on similar axle setups.

I haven’t installed it yet it will be a back up just in case I do break one while on my travels. It should work.

@ScotM Sounds good. I'd love to get your feedback if you ever end up needing to use it (which I kind of hope you don't since it's an emergency backup...mixed feelings over here about it)!
