Trying to rate leaf springs by the number in the spring pack is a hit or miss way of doing things. If you can find the manufacture of the springs and look at spring charts provided by them might work. A little searching on the net will find 26" springs with 4 leafs rated at 3000lbs, the same chart had 3 leaf springs rated at 3000lb also. These were 1.75 width, which is pretty standard. I also saw 3000lb springs with 5 leafs so it's pretty much a******shoot trying to rate springs that way. I ended up just ordering springs that had a rate as close to axle capacity I could find.
