JMO of course, but I would replace, at the least, the springs on the low side. The trailer leaning will put a lot of stress on the hangers, and you don't want one of those to break.
I think you would do well with 3,500 lb. springs, which should be easy to source. A decent trailer shop should be able to do the job easily, and shouldn't really cost that much. Figure $100-$150 for 2 springs, and labor to install, and you should be able to get it fixed for less than $500 easily. JMO of course. It would give you peace of mind that you'll be able to finish the trip without something breaking along the way.
FWIW Grand Design is notorious for undersizing the spring packs on their trailers.
