Expert Reply:
I sure can Thomas! I recommend the 2-Leaf Slipper Spring for 1,000-lb Trailer Axles item # EM28UJ. This 2-leaf spring measures 24-1/4" overall and 23-1/8" from the eye hole to the part of the spring that rests on the spring hanger. It is sold individually and has a 500 lbs capacity.
The 23-1/8" measurement is labeled B on the diagram below. I highly recommend measuring one of your current leaf springs with the weight off of them to see if the item # EM28UJ is going to work as a replacement.
Leaf springs like to stretch out over years of use and it sounds like yours have seen a lot of miles. We recommend measuring them with the weight off of the suspension to get an accurate idea of how long of a replacement you need.
What kind of boat do you have?
