So I noticed the springs on one side of my trailer are a bit stretched and sometime lay flat and not in the upright position - figure they are just old or got abused at some point - if I want new springs one - is there a spot that folks have found to order them.

Trailex only lists the spring assembly for $80 - and I just want the springs.

Any ideas?

When I had a damaged spring, I was advised by Trailex to always replace them in pairs. The spring assy only adds the bracket at the end. I think I'd just get them from Trailex to be sure they are the right ones.

I second RickO's recommendation. I would not replace just one spring and they are usually sold in pairs anyway. If you find the original Dayton springs they will probably be around $60 so you aren't saving that much. On my 450 Trailex I tried to buy cheaper replacement springs and though the dimensions appeared to match they did not fit the original bushings and bolts on the trailer. I also noticed some of my bushings were pretty worn. The springs from Trailex come with all necessary bushings and parts for not much more than the cost of springs alone.
