Thank you for providing that information. In addition to the length you will also want to know the capacity of your axle so you can choose the correct leaf spring replacement. Assuming this is an older leaf spring, you will also need to account for it sagging over time which will elongate the spring.

For a replacement we have 2 possible options for you. The first is the 3-Leaf Double-Eye Spring # SP-072275. This is designed for 3,300 lb axles and measures 18-5/16" long. A leaf spring like this one would be a little over 20" long if it was totally flat so it is likely the right size. As far as the capacity is concerned it will be fine if it is rated slightly higher, but if it is lower than your axle capacity you would be limited by the capacity of the leaf springs.

The other is the # 072-017-00. This leaf spring is for 2,000 lb axles and measures 20-1/4" long. This would be more appropriate as a replacement if your leaf springs aren't really sagging or if you already accounted for that when measuring. Again, you will need to be mindful of the capacity.
