I may have an option that works for your trailer, but we do not currently offer a 2000lb axle that measures 53" from spring center to spring center.

You can have the current spring seats removed and new ones welded in the correct space for your pop up camper, but you will need to know the hub face to hub face measurement of your current axle as that is something that cannot be changed.

The Dexter Trailer Axle w/ Idler Hubs - EZ-Lube - 5 on 4-1/2 Bolt Pattern - 72" Long - 2,000 lbs # 20545I-EZ-72-15 has the EZ-lube spindles and 2000lb axle rating you are looking for, but measures 72" hub face to hub face and 58" spring center to spring center.

If your current axle has the same hub face to hub face measurement this axle would be a great choice and you could weld on the Spring Seat # TRSS175 to give you the 53" spring center to spring center you need. You would also need to have an axle shop weld on the Brake Mount Flange # 4-34 to allow you to mount trailer brakes.

If your current axle has a different hub face to hub face measurement, you may be interested in the Timbren Heavy-Duty Axle-Less Trailer Suspension - Straight Spindle - Regular Tires - 2,000 lbs # ASR2KHDS01 which bolts to the frame of your trailer to replace a standard axle and will also replace your leaf spring suspension due to the built in AEON progressive main spring and rebound spring.

This option already has the brake mounting flange, but uses 3500lb Electric Trailer Brake Assemblies # AKEBRK-35-SA and Hub and Drum Assembly # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K.

I included videos for each of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
