Picking Out Replacement Trailer Leaf Spring for 3,500 lb Axle that is 25-1/4 inch Long
Question:
My boat trailer has 3,500 lb tandem axles with 33 inch axle spacing. The existing 25 1/4 inch long springs have 1 leaf. The only 1-leaf spring that I see on your website is a 6,000 lb spring. Can this be used on a 3,500 lb axle or should I go with a 3,500 lb 4-leaf spring? If I do need to use the 4-leaf springs what length u-bolts do I need to mount the springs to my 2 3/8 inch round axle?

Hey Thomas, the most important factors for picking out a replacement leaf spring for a trailer are matching axle capacity and length. Getting the same amount of leaves in the spring pack is actually not a huge priority so I wouldn't worry too much about that.
Your best option is the part # DX23CR which is correct length and capacity.
If you went with the higher rated 6k part # e46SR you'd have a really stiff ride quality.
