I'd recommend going with the 4-leaf springs like the 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 4,000-lb Trailer Axles # e22YR. This leaf spring measures 26" from the center of the spring eye to spring eye, has a 4K capacity, and has a spring width of 1-3/4".

Going to a 4-spring setup will give you a slightly less-stiff ride which I feel is a nice upgrade to any trailer. It's also important that leaf springs are replaced in pairs to ensure proper axle alignment and suspension performance.
