Hey Chuck. How wide is your axle from hub face to hub face? What size lug pattern do you currently have?
In order to recommend the correct leaf springs I need to know how long yours are from the center to center mounting holes. I'll also need to know how many leafs yours have. It's recommend to jack one side of your trailer up to get the weight off of the suspension before you measure. The springs tend to stretch out over years of use and this is the most accurate way to get a measurement for replacements.
You can add this information and any other questions you have where it says Reply to Jerred H and I'll be happy to answer them.
