To determine how to replace double-eye leaf springs, what you'll need to do is measure the length from center-to-center of the spring eye, keeping in mind that leaf springs elongate over time, so you'll want to account for that by getting ones a bit shorter than the current springs you have.
For example, if your center eye to center eye measurement was around 24-1/2 inches you could use the 6-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 5,300-lb Trailer Axles - 24-7/8" Long # e76SR.
Or if you had a measurement in the range of 25-1/2 inches you could use the 6-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 6,000-lb Trailer Axles - 26" Long # e94SR.
I have added a link below to our selection of properly rated double-eye leaf springs for you which have different center-eye to center-eye measurements. Then to upgrade the parts shackled to them you can use a suspension upgrade kit which simply depends on how long your shackle straps are, the MORryde Suspension Upgrade Kit for Triple Axle Trailers - 3-1/8" Long Shackle Straps # MR26ZR or 2-1/4" Long Shackle Straps # MR86ZR.
