Unfortunately we don't carry any split bushings that are that size. I assume you are wanting to cushion your axle where it installs at your leaf springs, but that is not recommended. You want to make sure you have a solid connection to your axle and I recommend using U-bolts like the CE Smith U-Bolt Kit for Mounting 2,000-lb, Round Trailer Axles # CE23000 if you don't already have them. The torque required for a fit will not give you cushion but there are other ways to achieve that if that is what you are seeking. For instance you can use the E-Z Flex Heavy Duty Rubber Suspension System by Dexter Axle - 5-5/8" Equalizers # K71-652-00 to add the rubber shock absorber to your trailer suspension.

If I misunderstood your desire, please clarify so I can further assist.
