While what Tuna Man said is one avenue, leaf springs are heavy and shipping costs can break the deal as to if it's a good deal or not.
Leaf springs are measured from center line of the eye to center line of the eye. Also is the number of leafs.
But there are also slider springs, which only have one eye forward and the tail end is flat and slides.
Check with Humpferys on Frank Reeder Rd. That is where I buy a lot of stuff, but have bought from the link that Tuna Man posted on some stuff. [Not leaf springs for the reason I gave + you can take one of your springs and match it up at a local shop.

Got 2 - 4 leaf 24" slider springs from Boat Trailer in Milton today for $25.00 each. Picked them up at about 4:30pm and the old old ones cut off and new installed before 6:00pm. The springs were the coated ones for saltwater. I kinda like doing my own repairs. Thanks for the input guys.

I'm fixin' to have to put some new ones on the trailer that my floundering boat is on as well as the bolts that hold them to the axle and the square piece of metal that goes under them. Maybe I should check with them. Sounds like some good prices to me especially since they were galvanized.
