Replacement leaf spring size?

We broke a spring over the summer. I replaced it.
Now that we are home I want to replace all the springs and hardware. The springs look kinda flat. 3 years old and 36,000 miles.
My axles are 7K Dexter axles with Lippert Road Armor Equalizers (factory installed).
With 3,500lb double eye 6 leaf 24, 7/8" long.

I bought 4 new 3,500lb 6 leaf springs at a local shop BUT they are 25 1/4" long.

My question is, will they fit properly being 3/8" longer each, which comes to 3/4" longer per side.

Or will the slack in the swing of the Shackle take up the extra 3/4"???
