Most important two things you need to know are the capacity of the axle/leaf spring you need and the length keeping in mind that springs tend to stretch a bit over time when compared to new.
Based on the length you mentioned of 25-1/2 inches for the good springs the correct size you'd need is 25-1/4 inch like the # e44SR for a 5k axle or the part # e57SR for a 4k axle.
If you need a different capacity email me back and I'll see what your best option would be.
