In order to pick out the correct springs we need a couple pieces of information. The length of the spring without a load on it and the axle capacity needed. Your springs being totally flat does indicate that you need to replace them but I would need to know the unloaded length from spring eye to spring eye and then the axle capacity.

Jack the trailer up so that the spring no longer has a load on it and measure it. Subtract around 3/4 of an inch since springs flatten and stretch out over time and then check out the link I attached. There is a chart at that link that has all of the double eye springs we carry. Find the part number that has the closest matching length and weight capacity and go with it.
