Replacement Leaf Spring for 2,000 lb Axle with Eye to Eye Leaf Spring Measurement of 26-1/4 Inches
Question:
I have tandem Axels my axle weight a major 1 and 3/4 in so I believe that's around the 2,000 lb, my springs are very old and appear to be mismatched with the leaves. With the springs removed the measurement from eye to eye is 26 and 1/4 in however from the hanger center of the eye do the center of the equalizer is 27 and 1/2 in. I do not know what springs I really need to order thank you

Helpful Expert Reply:
Your leaf springs will expand under weight and then also use shackle straps before the equalizer. Over time the leaf springs do stretch a little, so I recommend the 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 2,000-lb Trailer Axles - 26" Long # e77SR as a replacement for your springs.
I've attached an article on suspension to help further.
