To find replacement leaf springs you will need to know your axle capacity along with the length of your current leaf springs. If you don't already know the axle capacity I would try checking the axle tag to see if it is listed. If not, you can call Venture with the VIN and they should be able to tell you.

Once you have the capacity go ahead and measure the length of your leaf springs. This is the spring eye to spring eye measurement. I have attached an article below which has a video showing how to measure.

For example, if you find that the capacity is 3,500 lbs and you have a 27" long leaf spring you could replace them with the # e97SR. For mounting hardware you can use the CE Smith U-Bolt Kit # CE23102 for 1-1/2" square or # CE23103 for 2" square axles.

In addition to some help articles I have attached an installation video along with a link to all of our leaf springs below. You can filter by length and capacity to find the right replacement.

The UFP H-1377 correlates to a Dexter #84 spindle, which is for a 3,500 pound axle. This will utilize an inner bearing #L68149 and an outer bearing #L44649. As this is being used on a boat trailer, I highly suggest going with the etrailer.com…

Answer 6

To correctly measure a leaf spring, you'll want to jack the trailer up on jack stands so the axle is hanging freely, then measure directly across from the center of one spring eye to the other, as shown in the provided diagram. The height of the…

Hey Roy, The only U-bolt kit we currently only offer for 1-1/2" square axles is part #CE23102, which only has a 3-3/8" length so it likely wouldn't be the best option for you. Instead you'll want to order the 1-1/2" Square…
