When replacing trailer leaf springs we strongly recommend you replace them in pairs. I would urge you to get a set of matching properly rated springs for your trailer instead of just replacing one.
If you look on the frame of your trailer there should be a plate with the trailer VIN number and the axle capacities of the trailer. You will want to pick leaf springs that are as close to the axle capacity as possible.
You will want to also measure the distance from eye to eye of your old leaf springs and then pick a leaf spring with the same weight capacity of your trailer axles and is slightly shorter (around 1/2 inch) to compensate for the sag and wear of the old leaf spring.
I have attached an FAQ articles that reviews trailer suspension components for you below to check out as well as a link to a page that has all of the leaf springs we carry. Feel free to email me back with the info you find and I'll get you our best recommendation as well.
