Leaf spring broke, HELP!!!

I have a 2 axle 5th wheel weighing in at about 12/14,000#'s.
Need assistance in correct size to purchase.
It measures 26" center eyelet to center eyelet, 4 leafs, 1 3/4" wide.
Do they come in 3,000# weight capacity? With 2 springs on each side that would be a weight capacity of 12,000#s. Am I calculating that correct, or do I need heavier springs?
Thanks in advance.

    There's a tag on the axle that identifies exaclty what model it is. If that is missing thenthe sticker on the side of your rig indicates it as well.
    Get the numbers off the tag, use it to purchase the correct spring.
