The difference between what you found and what I did is the one you posted is Marine coated.

In the description "Eye to Eye Measurement 20 inches (Free Length Measurement)
Does your spring measure slightly more than 20 inches, lets say 20 3/4 or so? You may have your trailer loaded, or the spring may be old and flattened out. It is not uncommon for leaf springs to measure longer than what the stock size is listed."

In talking to Trailex, they said the old spring they used was 20-1/2” eye to eye. He didn’t say why they changed, but it makes it difficult to get some parts for older trailers. The marine coated spring is actually 20-1/8” In the description. They sell the 1/2” bushing I would need as well.
