I would be happy to help you determine the correct replacement leaf springs for your 1962 Kencraft Trailer, but unfortunately we do not have a way to look up which specific springs your trailer uses.
Instead you will need to measure your current leaf springs from center of spring eye to center of spring eye if it is a double eye spring, or from center of spring eye to end of the spring if it is a slipper spring.
When taking these measurements the trailer axles need to be off the ground with no weight on them, as with weight on them they will stretch and you will get an inaccurate measurement.
For example if your trailer has 26" double eye springs you would need the 6-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 6,000-lb Trailer Axles - 26" Long # e94SR.
If you have a slipper spring, or a different length double eye spring just let me know.
