• For higher-rated leaf springs that match the length on your existing sets, I recommend taking a look at the 3-Leaf Double-Eye Spring # e57SR. This double-eye spring features an eye-to-eye length of 25-1/4 inches and a spring width of 1-3/4 inches. It is designed for 4,000 pound axles (2,000 pound capacity per spring).
