I am replacing the axle on my boat trailer and I decided to do the leaf springs as well.
I got them off and they are the "straight slipper" type springs... an eye on one end and a straight bar on the other.
The problem is... I measured them at 27" from the eye to the end of the bar. (12" from the eye to the axle center)
Everything online is either 25 1/4th inches or 29" there are none in the middle.
Now I know these springs flatten out over time, but could it really flatten a whole 2 inches?
I thought my trailer used standard parts mostly, but maybe not. I've been looking for a solid week online. Anyone ever bought custom leaf springs?
Here is a pic of the springs on the ground (sorry I can't rotate it):
Any guidance would be appreciated!
