For a replacement leaf spring you need to know your axle capacity as well as the length of your current leaf springs. You will need to measure from center of one eye to center of other eye on your leaf spring that isn't broken. Since these are fairly new there probably isn't much sag but if the leaf spring is flat you will need to account for that. Also, you want to replace the leaf springs in pairs.
For example, if you found that the leaf springs measured 24-7/8" long you could use the # e64SR. These are designed for a 7,000 lb axle. Since you mentioned upgrading you could also use the # DX74XR which is for an 8k axle. Keep in mind, increasing the spring capacity does not increase the capacity of your trailer. If your leaf spring broke as a result of overloading your trailer it is likely that other components will eventually fail as well.
I have attached a helpful article on trailer suspension along with a link to our 7k and 8k leaf springs for you to check out.
