I live on Cape Cod and there is plenty of boat trailer places around and boat trailers don't last in salt water. I never got more than 5 years on an axle set up so I would buy just axle with springs and would give me another 5 years where I would trash the whole trailer and start new. Most likely they will sell only pairs but maybe they have some good used ones that they would have tossed.

I am still in the process of building a leaf spring fork. I bought some leaf springs that come off of a golf cart. I found the springs on ebay. They seem to be just the right size (after you cut them in half) and they were fairly cheap.

I didn't see this earlier or I would have said to use a golf cart leaf spring.I drive a golf cart at work and I've been looking at the leafs and it just seems fitting. Now get it done and show us pics!!! 
I got my golf cart springs off ebay . They are just right for a ballooner , but a superwide tire will require spacers so the struts clear the tire , I had to add some just for fat franks :!:
