    Stratos trailer spring help

    I’m trying to replace my original leaf springs on my 2005 Stratos 201 trailer. Dual axle. I’m having a hard time finding springs that match what is there currently and I don’t know what lb axle weight rating I am suppose to have.

    Currently my springs measure 25.75 - 26” front and back spring were slightly different guessing from wear. This measurement is off the trailer on the ground. They are a 3 leaf.

    my buddy’s trailer shop offers only a 26” 1000lb spring (I imagine way to light) and a 5 leaf 2500lb spring
    I’ve been told by a few that the standard spring on bass boat trailers is usually 25 1/4” not the 26”
    We lined up a 25 1/4 springs and they don’t seem to be right but we could be wrong.
    Anyway I think the biggest issue is I wanna know the proper weight rating for the springs.

    Any help I’m in a time crunch to replace before Friday

    It’s an SC trailers brand

    Gvwr 5440lb
    Gawr 2770 each axle
    Load capacity 4500lbs
    This is what my label says

    I have a 05 201 pro dual axle trailer myself. I ordered my parts from Eastern Marine. Here are the parts I used on mine.

    Universal 26" double eye leaf spring (3 leaves/ 1500lb 3UNA-050 $23.68 each x 4 springs =$94.72
    UFP 5-1/2" Tri-angle Leaf spring equalizer Bar #34050 $15.70 each x 2=31.40

    My bolts were in good condition. some people use the wet shackle bolts. if you order the shackle bolts they are Rockwell 9/16" x 3" long $3.48 each

    If you place/call them in the morning it is possible they can ship out tomorrow. I placed my order on a tuesday morning 7/2 and they arrived Wednesday 7/3 yes in one day. I emailed them and they could not guarantee they would be able to ship same day as order placed but would do their best. They exceeded my expectations and will use them in the future.

    So you had 26” springs also?! I really questioned if they were worn or actually 26”

    Mine were 26" based on measurements. My trailer would bottom out on potholes or manholes covers in the drive lane on road. I also noticed I can jump on fender step and it has bounce. Prior to replacement it had no bounce.
