Replacement Leaf Springs for 2012 Keystone Sydney Edition 340FBH

Question:

I need information on what length and weight of spring I need for a 2012 keystone outback sydney edition 340 fbh fifth wheel. This unit has a 4 spring double eye set under it, and a 5200lb axle. I read a question that another person had and they said there springs were 26” long, I also thought that but now that I have the spring out it appears to be no more than 25” long. Can anybody help. Thanks Chris

Since you pulled your old one out and found it to be 24-7/8 inches the correct replacement spring would be the part # SP-222275 which is 24-7/8 inches long and has a 5,300 lb axle capacity. Leaf springs tend to stretch slightly as they wear out since they flatten slightly which is why new springs will be slightly shorter than old ones.
