To pick out the correct length leaf spring requires you to measure the length of the spring from eye center to eye center without any weight on the trailer. Since you most likely have slipper springs since your axles are 10,000 lb you'd need to measure from eye center to the bend on the opposite end where the spring would fit in the hanger. Keep in mind that old springs will stretch a bit over time.
I attached a link to a page that has all of the 10,000 lb axle leaf springs we offer for you to check out as well. You'll want to know how wide your springs are too and select that from the filters on the side of the page.
