Question:

I need a dual access suspension kit including new axles. Frame leaf spring mounting points are 56.5inch center-center. I cannot find an axle with this dimension - do you have any?

The closest standard trailer axle we currently have available to the 56-1/2 inch spring center length you are needing is one like the Dexter Trailer Idler Axle w/ Hubs # 20545I-EZ-72-10 that has a 58 inch spring-center-to-spring-center measurement.

Another option you may want to consider is an axle-less suspension system like the Timbren # ASR1THDS03. This system will provide a smooth and quiet ride and can eliminate the need for an axle. The suspension units replace your existing axle and operate independently, fitting any trailer frame width. This system has a weight capacity of 2,200 pounds as well as a 4 inch lift.

I have attached a video demonstration so you can see exactly how everything works.

Unfortunately we don't have any standard axles that match those specs. Your best bet will be to go through a local fabricator or trailer shop to have something made - otherwise a good alternative is a Timbren Axle-Less System like mentioned above, which will fit any frame width. I've linked our full selection below.
