I tried looking up your axle capacity online but wasn't able to determine that so I'd need you to get me the axle rating (should be on the VIN plate near the coupler) as well as the length of your current springs without a load on the trailer and with that I will be able to pick you out the best spring setup. You want to match the axle rating and then also go with springs that are slightly shorter than what you have to account for spring stretch over time.
I attached a link to all of the leaf springs we carry as well. The filters on the page let you select the capacity and lengths. If the hangers, equalizers, and or hardware do need replacing let me know too and I can get you set up with that as well. If they are in good shape though there's no need to replace them.
