Expert Reply:
Axle lengths for a 6 foot wide trailer can vary. There isn't a standard length used in all 6 foot trailers so you would need to measure the length of your current one if you are looking for a replacement.
You would need to measure from the hub face to hub face and then from the spring mount centers to pick out the correct axle to fit your trailer.
