Helpful Expert Reply:
Of the axles that we carry the part # T3584F-EZ-8974 that you referenced would be the closest one we carry to what you would need. The spring center measurement is the same at 74 inches. The issues is that this axle measures 89 inches from hub face to hub face so it would be 2 inches shorter than what you currently have. If the wheels and tires could be an inch closer to the frame on your trailer on either side without causing interference this axle would work well for you.
Otherwise you will need to find a shop local to you that will let you custom order in axles to your specs.
