Expert Reply:

You have a Lippert 3500 lb axle with 10 inch brake assemblies/hub drums. We can't order custom axles, but we do offer a Dexter # 7359765-EB off-the-shelf axle that's very similar, the only difference is that the leaf spring seat center to center distances don't match exactly.

This isn't necessarily a big deal, as it's pretty simple to use two replacement spring seats # TRSS238 and to have them tack welded on a 75 inch center. If the existing 80 inch spring seats interfere with the installation, you can always use an angle grinder with a cutoff wheel to remove them.

The axle includes the axle beam with spindles, hub/drum, brake assemblies, bearings, races, seals, grease caps, wheel studs, lug nuts, and marine-grade wheel bearing grease.
