Replacement Leaf Springs for a 2013 Fleetwood Express
Question:
Thank you for your help. I had a follow up to your response. The thing I'm concerned about was putting springs that seem improperly matched to the weight of the trailer. I'm at 7,600 dry. I bought the camper used in July...but the previous owner barely used it. I was still installing and removing factory items, the RV was almost brand new. I put almost 1,000 miles on it in July. Would it be harmful to put 2,200 or 2,400 springs, again the RV is 7,600 dry. I weighed the camper loaded without water/sewer and I was almost 8,000lbs. BTW, I have about 2 inches of clearance between wheel and underbelly. I have attached pictures this time.

For your 2013 Fleetwood Express, the correct replacement is most likely the 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring part # e54SR. In order to confirm this you will need to take a quick measurement of the leaf spring you have now. It should be around 26" long (loaded) from the center of each eyelet and if that is the case then the above is what you need. The leaf springs on a trailer will lengthen over time as they wear which is why the replacements will be shorter than what you have now.
The pair of leaf springs will need to be rated for 3,500 lbs, not each individual leaf spring. The 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring part # e54SR has a 1,750 lb capacity which makes 3,500 lbs total.
