I would think princess would have something for you, you will prob have to get new springs for both sides though, but its princess so prices are low lmao

Got trailer parts from standens before. They were awesome and were about 40% less than PA.
Measure your centre to centre Wayne and how may leafs and load rating and do as Chubb says. That guy knows things dude.

smart man, I pulled the leftover bits off and the bolt that positions the spring is stamped Standens. forgot about the trailer manufacturer just up the road, waiting for a call back I am betting they have what I need, or maybe a better set. I was supposed to be jetting down the river right now! :angry3:

EZ-Loader trailers are poorly made, I had to replace all the pins and bushings on mine right from new they were junk. Had a u-bolt break and all the rest were lose on the springs. Axle seals are a pain in the but to find, and the Reliable axles are hard to find parts for in Alberta. Had to order in some oil bath sight glasses from EZ-loader out of the states for $12.50 a pop plus shipping.

Wayne if I were you I would make an appt with Standens, they also work at night till midnight.
They will fix ya up and do it right, if one spring broke you know the other is not far away.
I have changed out all my springs, axels hubs everything on my ez load. Put maybe 70K on it
Standens is great, do the best work and are not real expensive.
