Expert Reply:
As long as the 29-1/2" length of the 6-Leaf Slipper Spring # e46SR you were looking at matches the current slipper springs used with your 7000lb axles then yes, they will work.
You can confirm the length of your current slipper springs by jacking the trailer up so that there is not weight on the springs and measuring from center of spring eye to the end of the slipper spring as shown in the included picture.
With that said this spring will be slightly stiffer than your current springs but with the pair being only 1000lbs heavier in total you will not really feel any difference in ride.
