Thanks for the photo. Your leaf springs have definitely seen better days and it is time to replace a little while ago. Since you said one side is open and one closed, I assume you have slipper springs. The measurement on the springs is from the center of the eye to the end of the spring in the description. For the measurement you gave from bolt center to bolt center, we have two options:

3-Leaf Slipper Spring w/ Radius End for 1,500-lb Trailer Axles - 24-5/8" Long # SP-178275, and
4-Leaf Slipper Spring w/ Radius End for 2,000-lb Trailer Axles - 24-5/8" Long # SP-179275
