Expert Reply:

The 30 inch slipper springs we carry don't have a measured radius but the 28 inches you're looking for will work just fine. Your 32 inch springs were likely a little shorter than that originally and have flattened over time. Although probably not the full 2 inch difference but enough that our 30 inch springs will work on your trailer. We carry three different weight capacities that are 30 inches:

4-Leaf for 3,700 pound axles # SP-040275
3-Leaf for 2,900 pound axles # SP-039275
2-Leaf for 1,800 pound axles # e29SR
