Expert Reply:
The dimensions you listed are the correct ones needed to pick out a trailer axle. You have to base it off the hub face to hub face dimension for overall length and then spring seat center to center dimension for mounting.
We don't have exactly what you need as our closest option is the part # 20545I-EZ-72-10 which is off by 1 inch in hub face to hub face dimension and only has a 2,200 lb capacity. Since we only carry a very select few of the axles available you'd need to find a local trailer shop to you who can order you in the capacity and specs you need.
