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.

So true. Even measuring the leaf thickness and arch on well used springs is a******shoot. Best to know what OEM it started with (build sheet), then source the needed capacity in the proper length and arch needed. One of most inclusive spring lists around is the one on the Stengel Bros Website.

Yeah, good luck getting the info out of Lippert.... According to Eclipse, Lippert should be able to tell me everything about the frame and axles and springs with just the VIN and model. I am 6 emails back and worth with Lippert giving them different info and they still haven't been able to tell me what the springs are rated at. The last email to them was a picture of the axle tags to prove this thing actually has Lippert axles on it..... I am less than impressed so far.
The only info I have is word of mouth, and this person was told by Lippert the 4 leaf spring packs on the 2006 (same model) was 2200lb springs.... the question becomes is the 4 leaf packs on the 2012 (same model) still a 2200lb spring.

Etrailer has a 1 leaf spring that is rated at 3000lbs, so I understand not being able to rate them by spring pack size but so far that is the only thin I have to go by in comparison.

When comparing Lippert springs to Lippert Springs will a 4 spring pack still be 2200lb springs or does it vary and did it change between the different model years.

It will be interesting if and when I can finally get a solid answer.
Kinda frustrated at this point. Last thing I want to do is buy a set of 3000lb springs and find out Lippert upgrade these 4 leaf packs to be a 3000lb spring already.

Seems like every website has different ratings on the same size (length/leaf count) springs.
