Question:
I have a Forest River Cherokee 304bh. It currently has leaf springs with 4 leafs. It also has dual axles rated at 5100 each. The leaf springs are 26” eye to eye. Which leaf springs do I need to replace them with?

Hi Douglas; did you account for the leaf springs flattening out over time when you took your measurement? If they're pretty worn out and you didn't, the 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 5,200-lb Trailer Axles - 25-1/4" Long # DX45CR are probably the correct fit.
If they're truly 26" the closest thing we have is the 6-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 6,000-lb Trailer Axles - 26" Long # e94SR. These are slightly overrated but not to a point it will impact ride quality. Since they are 6-leaf it will raise the height of your trailer by 3/4" if the leaf springs are sitting on top of the axle.
