I have a larger Alpenlite that has 7000 lbs Dexter axles with the adjustable spring hangers. If yours has the adjustable height hangers with never lube hubs I am fairly confident that you have 7000 or 6000 lbs Dexter axles which any spring shop will have exact replacements for. I broke two of my springs last New Years and wound up replacing all four springs and put an extra leaf on them.

If you have the 7000lbs pair Dexter springs:
Relaxed (Unloaded)...24.88" eye to eye.
Loaded...26"
Part #072-027-00
8,000 lbs,pair....part #072-079-00

Off the shelf spring set will not fit correctly if you have Dexter
springs.
Having gone thru this twice,I can be sure of the above.
I ended up with the 8K pair to replace the undersized 7k pair,
I'm satisfied with the switch.
