I can help you determine the right replacement leaf springs for your Jayco travel trailer, though we don't have any way of knowing what specific ones you need. It looks like you have 3,500 lb axles on your trailer, and finding the right replacement is pretty easy as you just need to do measure your current leaf springs from center-to-center of the spring eyes.

You mentioned higher-rated springs but you don't want to do that as you will just get a much stiffer ride and no benefit whatsoever because no matter what, leaf springs flatten a bit over time. And because they flatten, after measuring your spring from center eye to center eye, go with ones that are a bit shorter than that measurement. Here are the options we offer for leaf springs for 3,500 lb axles (the length listed is their center eye to center eye measurement):

- 23-1/8" Long: 3-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 3,500 lb Trailer Axles # e59SR

- 25-1/8" Long: 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 3,500 lb Trailer Axles # e54SR

- 27" Long: 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 3,500 lb Trailer Axles # e97SR
