The parts I can see in the photo are a square tube drop axle, and the backing plate for drum brakes. Without knowing the capacity of the trailer axle, I can only make a guess and give you something approximate.

We don't carry any square tube axles and don't carry any through axles that have a drop, but we do carry the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension with a 4" Drop Spindle w/ Brake Flange with 7,00 lb capacity # TASR7KS02. This will require a square tube to be used in the integrated holes to connect the spindles. This can give you an axle of whatever length you need and will also give you the suspension needed so you don't need leaf springs, etc. These can be used in tandem axle applications but not triple axle applications.

If you let me know more information, like wheel bolt pattern and axle capacity or trailer capacity with number of axles, I can help further. Also if you will be using electric brakes or hydraulic brakes.
