Expert Reply:
To make the proper recommendation for your trailer we will need to know the weight capacity of the trailer axle or axles, and the three measurements on our trailer leaf springs page, see the link (scroll down to Replacing Springs Section).
The Trailer Leaf Spring 1750 lbs, 3 Leaf, item # e57SR may work on your trailer, but if the weight capacity is too low or high you will have reduced towing performance and possibly an unsafe condition. If you know or can find the weight capacity of the axle on your trailer then we can find the correct springs for you. The axle capacity is usually on a tag on the tongue of the trailer.
The leaf spring you selected would be correct for a 3500 pound axle with double eye hangers. You should also make sure that they are not slipper style springs with a hook on one end and no eyelet.
