In order to find the correct replacement leaf spring for a trailer you will need to note the type (double eye, slipper), measure the unloaded length, and find the axle capacity. Since you have already determined that you have double eye leaf springs that measure 25-1/2" long then all we need to do is find the axle capacity which is listed on a sticker in the center of the axle tube.

That said, I would be willing to bet you either have 5,200 lb or 6,000 lb trailer axles based on the overall weight of your trailer and number of axles therefore you should be using either the 6-Leaf Double-Eye Spring part # SP-222275 for 5,200 lb axles or the 5-Leaf Double-Eye Spring part # e34SR for 6,000 lb axles. The correct u-bolt kit is then going to be the U-Bolt Kit for Mounting 5,200-lb to 7,000-lb, Round Trailer Axles part # APUBR-8.
