Dexter doesn't actually make a 4k rated axle, but they do make a 4.4k axle which has a diameter of 3 inches. The next smaller axle is a 3,500 lb axle which has a 2-3/8 inch outer diameter.

The 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring part #e44SR is what I recommend using to replace your Dexter Leaf Spring 072-078-00. It's the same length but a slightly higher capacity, 4,400 lbs vs. 5,000 lbs which is not much so it won't really affect the…

In terms of lengh and capacity the best option we have is the 4,500 axle part #e27SR which is 26 inches long and is a 6 leaf setup. Springs tend to stretch a little bit over time so your old ones measuring 26-1/4 inches would be ideal for this…

Hangers do not all have to be the same height, no; the center hangers are longer because they work as a link with the equalizer between your axles. I recommend checking out your U-bolts to make sure they weren't somehow bent, cracked or otherwise…
