The heaviest leaf spring available that will fit your current measurement is going to be rated for 6,000 lbs, the 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 6,000-lb Trailer Axles # e47SR.
This spring is 25-1/8" long from eye to eye; you need to take into account that your current springs have elongated some so you'll want to go with something shorter. A leaf spring should not be rated for more weight than the trailer's capacity because it will give you a much stiffer ride.
