How to Choose the Correct Replacement Leaf Spring for a 2,000 lb Axle with 26 Long Leaf Springs
Question:
I am looking at swapping out my leaf springs on my boat trailer, my old springs measure 26 inches and are 3 leaf, When looking for replacements all I can find is A 26 in 4 leaf and a 25 in and 27 in 3 leaf, so I’m curious to which I should go with and my axle is rated for 2000 pounds thanks in advance

A lot of people get hung up on how many layers their leaf springs have but that actually isn't crucial at all. To choose the correct replacement leaf springs for your trailer you simply need to pick one that has a weight capacity that is rated for the same amount of weight as your axle as well as the same length (or slightly shorter) and width of your current leaf springs.
Leaf springs can stretch over time but if you have leaf springs that measure 26" center eye to center eye and they are 1-3/4" wide then part # e77SR is what you are looking for. It has those dimensions and is rated for 2,000 lb trailer axles. It is always best to replace the leaf springs on both sides of your axle when you do replace your leaf springs.
