Is this the one your looking for?

It should be. I've got a call into Lippert to verify. Their spec (and my current springs) shows a four leaf 2,600 pound spring. But the LCI ad you linked to shows a three leaf spring. It might just be a generic photo, but I want to verify it first.

And the Amazon page shows they are out of stock along with a three leaf spring in the photo.

Here is another LCI spring chart that I acquired from somewhere, several years ago. Note that a 2500 lb spring is not interchangeable with a 2600 lb (at least, the LCI ones).
Keith . . . what dimensions do you need? . . . I have old LCI 2600 lb springs that I could measure.

Thanks Rob

Mine are Dexter. I have all the dimensions I think I need - just need to fill out thier forum.

I just discovered a Grand Junction CO spring shop that makes custom springs - US steel too. https://www.alcanspring.com/ I am getting a price from them for 3K springs to fit my current set up. They also make a 3500 2" wide 4 spring set with Cree 3000 that is necked down to 1.75 at the eye.
From thier email

I have designed a HD version of a trailer spring. I’ve changed the width of the spring to 2” wide and then neck down the eye to fit the stock hangers. They are a 6 leaf spring that is rated for those 3500lb axles. Also, with that kit comes with MorRyde CRE3000 equalizers (need to know axle spacing 32” or 35”) new HD ½” thick shackles and all greaseable bolts and U bolts. The cost for the entire kit with 4 springs, equalizers, greaseable bolts, U bolts, HD U bolt plate, and HD shackles is $1589.64 plus shipping. I actually have that kit built and ready to ship, so give me a call and I can get it coming!


They responded to my first email in about an hour.

Just food for thought - most reviews of them are good too. His B&B is off road folks, but also does costume builds for Rod's etc.

Thanks for the tip Keith. I just sent a request for a quote myself. That is a pretty reasonable quote for custom made American steel springs and all the hardware. I priced mine out this morning from Amazon and it was about $1100. But of course, the springs are on backorder.

Well I heard back from https://www.eatondetroitspring.com/ - I need to pull and measure a spring for them to give me an answer. A bit disappointed they cant read the Dexter Catalog. I gave them the Dexter part number and catalog reference along with all the dimensions off of the Dexter build sheet (length, witdh, spring center, and other dimensions). Ill take a crack at filling out thier measurement sheet without removing the spring. I can get the eye diameter and other information from the Dexter information I have. Otherwise Ill have the shop try and find what I want.

Yoda,

They have a specific method of measuring the leaf spring. You will want to follow their method since this is what they use to produce the spring. They do us only US sourced steel.
