Same thing happened on my old 2004 Aljo trailer; broken leaf spring. The problem is the cheap China springs used are garbage. I got it fixed at a local truck repair shop as I was 200 miles from home. When I got home, I had a local spring shop build me a custom set of heavy duty leafs with the second leaf below the top leaf extending out past the "eye". The area near the eye is where they always brake because that part is "worked" by the leaf below on the cheap China springs. Cost me about $400 but was worth it for peace of mind.
By the way, when I pulled the "new" spring the shop used to get me back on the road, it had a price tag of $21.95 if that tells you any thing.
