Hey Byron. The 24-7/8" Long 6-Leaf Double-Eye Spring item # e64SR is going to be the correct one so long as your leaf springs are or near 24-7/8" long from the center to center of the eye bolts. I can't identify the correct replacement springs based on your pn 2842988. That just tells me you have a 7,000 lbs axle with a 8 on 6-1/2" bolt pattern and it's dimensions.

What you'll need to do is get the weight off of one side of your suspension and measure one of the leaf springs from the center to center of the mounting bolts. Leaf springs stretch out quite a bit over years of use so this is the only way to get an accurate measurement unless you can find a part number on one of those leaf springs.

I've attach a diagram below that will show you what to measure. You'll need the C measurement. If you'll put the measurement you get where it says Add Comment, I'll be able to confirm the item # e64SR is the correct one of find the one you'll need.

Please note that when you swap out your leaf springs, you'll also want to switch out your hardware as those suspension bolts are only meant to be torqued down once. You'll want to pick a kit with the closest size to your current shackle straps.

The MORryde Suspension Upgrade Kit for Tandem Axle Trailers item # MR46ZR is for 2-1/4" shackles or item # MR76ZR is for 3-1/8" shackles. These kits come with the bronze bushings, wet bolts and shackle straps.

These springs were the exact size for my 2020 349M.

I bought these springs to fix a broken spring after I bought the trailer. I had to get the part number from Keystone to match up with this product, but the measurements are key. I would also recommend replacing all of them at once. I've had some strange tire ware, but I think it's because I replace one or two springs at a time.

@ChrisA Thanks for the tip Chris! You are correct the strange tire wear is most likely due to not replacing all the springs at the same time. It's highly recommended to replace all your leaf springs at once.
