Expert Reply:

Your trailer is equipped with a Lippert 3,500 pound axle that has a 95 inch hub face length and a 76 inch spring seat length.

The closest replacement axle we have available to these specs is the Dexter Trailer Axle # 7359765-EB that features a 95 inch hub face length, an 80 inch spring center length, and a 3,500 pound weight capacity. The axle comes with hub and electric brake assemblies already mounted. If you were to use this particular axle on your trailer though new spring seats would need to be welded to the appropriate locations to match your frame.

Because of this the best option we have to replace your axle and suspension is with a Timbren Axle-Less System. I specifically recommend taking a look at the Timbren 3,500 Pound # A35RS545E. These independent units will fit any frame width and can often eliminate the need for a thru-axle altogether. The AEON progressive-rate springs take the place of traditional leaf springs for a smoother ride and fewer components to keep up with.

This kit does include complete hub and drum assemblies with electric brakes. I have attached a couple short video demonstrations that you can check out as well.
