Jd,

Any good spring shop can "re-arch your old springs.  I have it done to
the rear leaf springs on Dirt Track Camaro Super Stock at least once a
year.  I use A-1 Spring on S. Union Ave. in Bakersfield, CA.

Replacement springs are probably available, there are a lot of
standard spring sizes out that fit almost any trailer.  A good Farm
Trailer or Horse Trailer supply shop should have a good selection.  I
have a number of equipment and tank trailers in my business, and have
broken two springs in the past few years.  Those trailers bump around
the oil fields fully loaded to their 7,000 capacity, and the springs
were at least 20 years old, and were in use for most of that time.

Ralph

They can be re-bent at a blacksmith, if you can find one of 
those. They do still exist.

The aforementioned accident happened to the right side of my rig. I
find 
that the left side has one spring sagging more than the other. I
intend 
to remove that spring and get it re-built.
