The longest leaf springs we offer are the 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 3,500-lb Trailer Axles, part # SP-210275.

These springs measure 27 inches eye-to-eye and are designed for axles up to 3,500 lbs. I have attached a photo of this spring that has the dimensions noted you can check out. When measuring the springs, the weight has to be removed from the springs.

The leaf springs I recommend for your trailer are part # e84SR. This spring is designed to work with a 2,000 lb axle. The eye-to-eye dimension is 20-3/8 inches. I have attached a product review video for this leaf spring you can check out.

To make this system work you would need to use new spring seats like part # TRSS175. These are designed to be welded on and are for a typical 2,000 lb axle.These are sold individually.

The shackle bolt needed for this spring seat is part # 166081. This includes a 3 inch long bolt with a locknut and is sold individually.
