Since you measured your springs with weight on them I am going to recommend a couple of different length springs as replacements. You will want to verify how long your springs are without weight on them before purchasing. The compression caused by the full weight of your trailer will easily stretch them out around 1" if not more. It is recommended to change both sides if you are replacing suspension components.
24-7/8" Long - Item # e76SR
25-1/8" Long - Item # e47SR
I highly recommend swapping out the plastic bushings for bronze ones. You will want the Bronze Bushing Dexter item # D014-077-00 to do this.
As far as replacement bolts and shackles go there are a couple of options for you, depending on the length of your shackle straps. I have listed them below.
2-1/4" Shackles - MORryde Shackle Upgrade Kit for Tandem Axle Trailers item # MR46ZR
3-1/8" Shackles - MORryde Shackle Upgrade Kit for Tandem Axle Trailers item # MR76ZR
I have linked a couple of installation videos below.
