I have a solution for you but unfortunately we do not carry any axles that come with hydraulic brakes. What you will need to do is buy the parts separately, but I have all the parts you will need.

First, for an axle, you will need the Dexter Axle Beam with EZ Lube Spindles # T3584F-EZ-8974. This axle is 89" long with a weight capacity of 3,500 lbs. which is the same as the # e43SR Axle you were looking at.

For your Hydraulic Trailer Brake Assemblies you will want the etrailer Left Hand Assembly part # AKUBRK-35L which is rated for 3,500 lbs. For the Right Hand Assembly, you will need part # AKUBRK-35R. The hub and drum assembly that will fit on your brake assemblies is the etrailer Hub and Drum Assembly for 3,500 lbs. Axles and 5 on 4-1/2" Wheels # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K. You will need two hubs and drums for two brake assemblies.

If you do not already have a surge actuator and brake line kit, I have some recommendations for you.

For a Surge Actuator, I recommend the Dexter Zinc-Plated Brake Actuator # 099-175-00. This actuator locks in place on hitch balls measuring 2" and is designed for drum brake applications. The weight capacity for this actuator is 7,500 lbs.

If you have a single axle with brakes, the Titan Hydraulic Brake Lines and Fittings # T4829900 is what you need. If you have tandem axles with brakes, the Titan Hydraulic Brake Lines and Fittings for Tandem-Axles # T4830000 will be the right fit.

I attached and installation video for the Dexter Trailer Axle you may want to check out. I also attached a review video of the Hydraulic Brake Assemblies and a help article on how to install Hydraulic Drum Brakes to a trailer for your convenience.
