We do not offer beam axles that have the 7,200-lb capacity you mentioned, but we do offer axle-less systems from Timbren that have a 7K capacity that I recommend. I have attached a link to those systems you can check out. Although a bit more expensive, there are many fewer parts with the axle-less system, and they are much easier to install and maintain.
The axle-less system I recommend is part # TASR7KS01. This has the 5-bolt brake flange attached. This system also has an EZ lube spindles, which makes it much easier to keep lubricated.
If you need additional clearance, we also offer an axle-less system that has a 4 inch drop spindle. That would be part # TASR7KS02.
For electric brakes I recommend part # 23-105 for the left side(drive side), and part # 23-106 for the right side.
The prices for any of the products we offer are shown on the product page of the website.
The trailer hub and drum assembly I recommend is part # 42866UC3-EZ. This hub has an 8 on 6-1/2 wheel bolt pattern and includes the bearings, races, seal, grease cap, wheel bolts and lug nuts.
