Replacement Leaf Spring Recommendation to Replace 20-3/8 inch Spring on 2,630 lb Axle

Question:

Hi, I need to change the leaf springs on my sail boat trailer. My leaf springs are double eye type, 20 3/8 inch eye to eye, with 3 leaves. Trailer has 2 axles rated GAWR 2630lb. Can you tell me if this is the correct part, or if I need one with a higher axle rating: SP-169275 I also need the bolts and 4 inch shackle straps to go with these if you have them. Thanks,

What you need is part # e59SR. This is a 3,500 lb spring and is a tiny bit shorter at 23-1/8 inch which will work great for you since springs stretch when they are old.
