You definitely do not want to use the # e77SR on your trailer with a 3,500 lb axle. These are rated for a 2,000 lb axle which is well under your capacity. If you need a 26" leaf spring I would not get the # e54SR since they're a bit too short. You're better off getting the # e22YR. This is rated slightly higher at 4,000 lbs but that won't be an issue for the trailer and will likely allow them to last a bit longer. These measure 26" which is what you were looking for.
