We can help you with replacement double-eye trailer leaf springs.
Do note that you always want to replace leaf springs in pairs. This is because a new spring will have a slightly different length (it will be a little shorter) than the old one; this is due to the normal elongation of the spring that happens from years of use. If you replace only one spring you can run into axle alignment issues that can affect trailer tracking and tire wear as you go down the road. Always replace both leaf spring on the axle.
This normal lengthening of a worn leaf spring also means that when you remove it from the trailer to measure it, chances are that you will find its eye-to-eye length to be longer than when it was new. So, if your spring measures 26-inches from eye to eye, chances are that when new it was a 25-1/4-inch like single-leaf spring # e46SR that you referenced.
It is not possible to reliably measure a spring's length unless you first remove it from the suspension.
Your axle should have a sticker or plate on it that tells you its weight rating. Be sure to select springs that match the axle rating. e46SR is intended for 6000-lb axles. All double-eye springs are shown on the linked page.
