Double Eye Leaf Springs for Boat Trailer, Stretched Out
Question:
My boats leaf springs measure 29 inches but they are broken. I cant find 29 Leaf Springs anywhere. Could they be 27 and maybe stretched out since they are so old? Is that possible?

Before you can pick out a set of leaf springs for your boat you need to find out the weight rating of your trailer axle. Then you will need to purchase leaf springs that are each 1/2 of the axle rating.
The # SP-210275 is rated for 1500 pounds so if your boat trailer axle is a 3000 pound axle then I would say that # SP-210275 is the correct leaf spring for your axle. Due to wear and different manufacturing tolerances the spring dimensions will be slightly different especially for length measurements.
When replacing springs it is recommended to replace them in pairs for proper axle alignment and to avoid performance issues. If you need any other parts such as U-Bolts, Hangers or spring seats you can check our web site, I have provided links to these below.
