I do have an option for you but we do not have a direct replacement for your trailer. Instead, you will want to take a look at the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System part # ASR5200S04. This system will actually replace the axle and leaf springs with an aeon spring that will work to absorb road shock and support the trailer's load better than the system you have now. They have the same 4" drop as your current system and you could use your existing backing plates and drums so long as they are in good shape and have 25580 inner/15123 or LM67048 outer bearings. The installation process is also fairly straightforward as you can see in the attached video.

If you have electric brakes and they need replaced then you can use part # AKEBRK-7-SA for the backing plates and part # AKHD-655-6-EZ-K for the drums.
