Mine showed up today. There a a few places on line to get them.
I went with http://www.trailerpart.com/. The shipped within 24 hours, and they had the right springs. You can try Champion I have bought parts from them before as well.

Northern Tool is another option

Thanks guy's. After a Google I found several sources. Looks like Northern or www.sturdybuiltonline.com probably. Figured they would be hard to find but not the case.

Good idea. Going to have to re-place plates and all it looks like. The bottom plates are welded on :mad: . Axle is an oddball size.. 1 3/4 diameter. Spring length oddball size for a 2 leaf slipper.. 26". Spring eyelet hole measures 1/2" and about the only lenght's I found are 24 1/2 - 25" and the eyelet bolt hole's 9/16. Most plate kit's are for 2 3/8 size tube axles. About par for my luck when doing a project. Looks like once again a simple project gone awry with parts N/A and have to engineer "close" parts to work. Git 'er done! :D
