Actually, those springs were already buggered before they actually broke. They lost their "arc" before they broke. Breaking was just the last straw from the last overload.
Replace them. Not one. All of them in that bank, the u-bolts, the bushings, and the shackles if need be. Do the other side too if you can afford to, because they're not far behind....
Springs are not something you want to muck with. I can't really see even replacing the broken plies, or installing used plies because the cost of the U-bolts and the labor is too great to go back and do this again in a week. A set of plies is probably no more than two hundred.... HTH.
