We don't have any way of knowing what leaf springs are on a 2021 Grand Design 260RD, but I can tell you how to find the right ones. It's pretty easy though, as all you need to do is measure your current leaf springs from center-to-center of the spring eyes.

Leaf springs also flatten a bit over time, so you should go with ones that measure a bit shorter than what you currently have. For example, if they measured 25-1/2" go with the 6-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 4,500-lb Trailer Axles - 26" Long # e27SR.

I have added a link below to our entire selection of leaf springs, which you can filter through by length and capacity. As for the bearings, that we do know, as the correct bearings, races, and grease seal for a 4,400 lb Dexter axle are the following:

- Bearing # L68149

- Race for L68149 Bearing # L68111

- Bearing # LM67048

- Race for LM67048 Bearing # LM67010

- Grease Seal # 58846
