As you can see in the photo I have edited for you, the Pro Series # 58338 spring bar you referenced is a total of 31-1/4 inches long.
Unless the spring bar is a perfect match for your existing one, it likely will not work. Not only does the spring bar need to have the correct weight rating (it is not always visually evident what the rating is), but the end of the bar (see photo) needs to be identical to the existing bar.
Since you do not have any manufacturer information on the existing parts you have, you will most likely be best off purchasing a complete system. The first step in choosing a system is to determine the fully loaded and ready to tow tongue weight of your trailer. I will link you to an FAQ article that shows how to do this. The weight of anything stowed behind the rear axle of your tow vehicle also needs to be considered as tongue weight.
If you would care to reply with the loaded tongue weight of your trailer, I would be happy to recommend a system for you.
