Thanks for the photos with measurements. The 2-Leaf Slipper Spring w/ Radius End for 1,000-lb Trailer Axles - 24-5/8" Long # SP-177275 are rated for 500lbs each for use with a 1000K axle. This will work with the inside to inside measurement you are seeking. You will simply need the 9/16 inch bolt # 166079. If there is any extra space in the hanger it won't be an issue with the bolt and bushing.
