Hi Kevin,
To replace that leaf spring you need the 26" Long Dexter Double-Eye Leaf Spring # DX49BR. Be sure to swap out both leaf springs at the same time so your trailer suspension has the best performance and wear-down cycle.
Is there anything else you're needing to replace or upgrade on your boat trailer while you're at it?
