Question:

One of the 4 axle leaf springs snapped on my 2021 Forest River travel trailer. It has 3500 lb Lippert axles. Would this product fit for replacement? Its difficult to get exact measurements because its broken and the other springs are still on the trailer under load. I would prefer to just replace the broken one for now. I attached a picture of the axle info. Thank you.

Since you have 3,500 lb axles you most likely currently have 3,500 lb axle leaf springs which we have in a 4 leaf spring with part # e68SR. This is 25-1/8 inches long which is a very common length and most likely your best option. But without knowing the length of your current springs it's hard to say exactly if this is what would fit best.

We also have this spring in a length of 23-1/8 inches with part # e54SR.

The spring you mentioned could work too but since it's rated for a 4,000 lb axle it most likely would be rated too high. I have to mention to that it is highly recommended to replace leaf springs in pairs and not just individually to make sure they trailer suspension is balanced from left to right. This is much safer than just a single spring although I totally understand the temptation to go this route.
