Looking for the Correct Trailer Leaf Springs for a Dexter Axle

Question:

Is there anyway to tell what size leaf springs I need for my camper by year, make, and model, and Dexter axle serial numbers?

Great question Bill, happy to help!

The year, make, and model of your camper and even the Dexter axle serial numbers can help determine the axle capacity, but they typically don't identify the correct leaf springs.

The best way to select replacement leaf springs is by:

Axle capacity
Leaf spring length, measured from eye-to-eye with the trailer lifted so the suspension is unloaded.
Spring width (most are 1-3/4")
The number of leaves on your current spring.

If you can provide your Dexter axle serial numbers and the information on the leaf springs, I'll be able to recommend the correct replacement.

May I ask why you're to replace the springs? Are they worn out, sagging or are you looking to improve the suspension?
