Replacement 24-7/8" Long Leaf Springs for 5,000 Pound Axles
Question:
I have 5000# tandem axles 3 on my trailer. Center to center they are 34inch apart. I want to replace my leaf springs which are 24 7/8 eye to eye on center. The current leaf springs are 6-leaf. What do you got. U-Bolt kit also. Thanks

Expert Reply:
To replace your existing leaf springs the 6-Leaf Double-Eye Spring # SP-222275 will work perfectly. This leaf spring stack measures right at 24-7/8" from eye to eye (center to center) and its designed for 5,300 pound axles (which will work without issue on your 5,000 pound units).
For a U-bolt kit I recommend the Redline # APUBR-8, which includes four 7" long U-bolts, two U-bolt plates, and the needed 1/2"-20 hex nuts.
I have attached a couple short video reviews on these products below that you can check out as well.
