Hi Tom!
The Dexter 7-Leaf Slipper Spring w/ Hook End for 8,000-lb Trailer Axles # DX73QR measures 26-5/8" long and 2" wide. In case you were also curious, it weighs just over 26 pounds as well.
If you don't already have a busing picked out for this spring, you will also want to grab the # DX77XR. This has a 5/8" inner diameter, 1-3/8" outer diameter, and is 2-3/16" long.
What kind of trailer are you looking at this for?
