Hello Julio, thanks for reaching out. The appropriate spring for your trailer will depend on the weight capacity of each axle. Ideally the springs will match the axle capacity. Like for example the 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring # DX45CR is rated for 2,600 lbs individually and is intended for a 5,200 lb axle.
There should be a tag on the axle that shows this info, and if you can tell me that, I can recommend a spring. I will also need to know the length of the current springs in order to make a recommendation. The best way to get this is to jack up the trailer and measure the spring when not under a load. Leaf springs are measured from center-eye to center-eye. Let me know that info and I can make sure you get the right springs
