    Springs

    Hello,
    Can anyone please tell me the length of the springs on a Solitude. I have the 377 if that makes any difference. I need to know from center of eye to center of eye. I'm trying to get some spares tomorrow just as a backup. I'm keep coming up with 26 inch 6 leaf but wanted to double check that. I have 7 k axle as well.
    Thank you,
    David

    Do yourself a favor and upgrade to 4k. In any case here are the specs fo 4k. Only thing different from 3.5k is 7 leafs vs 6.

    Thank you,
    If you upgrade to 4k springs you will need longer U bolts. I think we used 20” x 7.25”
