Expert Reply:
To measure leaf springs you want to measure the distance from bolt eye to bolt eye with no load on them. Then when you go to pick out new ones you will go with ones that match the axle capacity and are also roughly 1/4 inch shorter than what you measured since springs tend to stretch over time.
