Solution for Needing 31 inch Long Leaf Spring for 5,000 lb Boat
Question:
I need to replace the springs on a old 1969 boat trailer it is 31Inches from center to center on a 9/16 shackle pin and its a 7 leaf and I think its only a 3500 to 5000 pound boat and trailer weight. I forgot to measure the spring width. What do you have? And if you dont could you point me to someone that might. thanks Roger for your help

Expert Reply:
Since we don't have any 31 inch long leaf springs and I don't believe you'll be able to find the correct size anywhere else your best option would be to go with a spring like the part # e44SR which is 25-1/4 inches long and is rated for up to a 5,000 lb axle. You'll also need a hanger kit to mount these like with the part # APS4 and you'd be set.
