In order to determine the correct replacement leaf springs for your Coachmen Chaparral Lite, I recommend simply taking a couple measurements on the existing springs. You will also want to verify the axle capacity on the trailer to ensure you get properly rated replacement sets. Trailer manufacturer's don't often keep an accurate record of parts like these that are installed at the factory, so this will be your best option for picking out the right leaf springs.

On your existing springs, you will want to measure from the center of one spring eye to the center of the other spring eye. You can also take a quick measurement of the spring width. For example, the 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring # e54SR is designed for 3,500 pound axles, features a 25-1/8 inch spring eye measurement, and a 1-3/4 inch spring width.

If you can let me know the above measurements on your current springs, I will be happy to recommend replacements that will work great.
