I get down to the Wichita area 5 or 6 times a year for work.

I am no expert on leaf spring set ups but the info I had suggested that longer is better because they are less likely to fatigue and break. I don't know if this is true or not?

When I orderd my axle I orderd new leaf springs with it (the standard 25" trailer springs), but I really liked the original springs that were on the trailer better. They were longer (30") and accepted a rubber/poly busing and not the plastic/nylon sleeve like the new 25" springs had. So I reused them and replaced the old worn out rubber bushings with new poly bushings.

I had thought about using leaf springs from a taco as well but decided against it, seemed like they where a bit over kill for the size of the trailer and what I was going to be hauling in it.
