Default Leaf Spring?

Recently acquired a 99 4 door Blazer with jeep wrangler axles under it. One of the leaf springs on the back is cracked and needs replaced. Only Problem is I don't know what kind they are or what they're from, as they are definitely not stock blazer ones. There are 5 leafs on them and no overload spring, not sure on the lift of them. If I know what to look for I could be more descriptive so I can get an answer.

Hope these will do? Don't have a spring shop anywhere near me.

Yes that's what I plan on doing. Is there a way I can search for leafs that have the same dimensions as the ones on it?

Obviously. Now how do I use that information to search for similar springs? Every leaf pack I find just gives a compatibility list of vehicles, not dimensions.

The measurements I got for it is 54" with no weight, and the perch pin is right in the middle at 27". It's 2 inches thick and has 5 leafs. From what you can see in the photos, the front of the leaf has a second leaf wrap around it (the eye with the bushing) as opposed to the rear where it is just the one. I really need to find out what its from or what kind of aftermarket it is if it is, been searching for 2 weeks now with no luck...
