Will 4,000lb Rated Leaf Springs Work Replace 3,500lb Springs If They Both Have The Same Length
Question:
Hi, I have a 2020 RV that needs leafs. It has 3500 pound tandem axles. The measurement center to center of the leaf bolt is 26.. when I look that up on your website that size shows for 4000 pound axles. Will they work? Thanks, Todd.

Hey Todd,
The 500lb increase in capacity to the 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring # e22YR will definitely work and would probably give you a bit sturdier of a ride because the springs won't compress as easily. Going too stiff can cause problems though so I'd definitely stay around the 3,500 to 4,000lb capacity when swapping them out.
