Hey Steve!
I'll be more than happy to help you figure this out, but we'll need to go the old school route and have you measure the leaf spring length (center eye to center eye) without weight on it in order to get you the correct replacement size. Forest River doesn't have leaf spring dimensions listed anywhere which is why we have to do it this way.
I'm guessing your axles are rated for 3,500 lbs each, but that would be another good thing to verify. If you can't find it listed on a tag or paperwork, the weight rating should be listed on a sticker in the middle of the axle itself.
Attached is a photo of dimensions for the 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 3,500-lb Trailer Axles # e54SR. We're looking for the "C" dimension from the photo.
Let me know what you find!
