I think by slider spring you mean slipper spring so on 4 slipper springs there is only 1 eye per spring for a total of 4 eyes. Provided the 2 inch length, 9/16 inch inner diameter, and 1-5/16 inch outer diameter matches what your suspension requires this set of 4 will be all you need.

The 2-piece/1-piece debate I believe stems from the fact that each single one is molded from 2 halves.
