Based on the information you gave me, the closest axle we have is the 3,500lb EZ-Lube Dexter axles which measure 74" from spring center to spring center and 89" from hub face to hub face. While you were looking for 88" hub face to face, this 89" shouldn't cause any issue and is likely the correct size axle that you were needing since 89" is extremely common. Either way, the 1" difference will not be a problem.

For a complete axle and electric brake setup with 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern you can go with Trailer Axle w/ Electric Brakes - EZ-Lube - 5 on 4-1/2 Bolt Pattern - 89" - 3,500 lbs # e43SR for straight axle or Dexter Trailer Axle w/ Electric Brakes - 4" Drop - E-Z Lube - 5 on 4-1/2 - 89" - 3.5 # 8327812-EB for a 4" drop axle.

For an axle idler hub setup with 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern you can use Dexter Trailer Axle w/ Idler Hubs - EZ-Lube - 5 on 4-1/2 Bolt Pattern - 89" Long - 3,500 lbs # 35545I-EZ-89 for straight axle or Dexter Trailer Axle Beam w/ Idler Hubs - 4" Drop - E-Z Lube - 5 on 4-1/2 - 89" Long - 3.5K # 8327812-I for a 4" drop axle.

For just the axle with spindles, use Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with EZ-Lube Spindles - 89" Long - 3,500 lbs # T3584F-EZ-8974 for straight axle or Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with 4" Drop E-Z Lube Spindles - 89" Long - 3,500 lbs # 8327812 for a 4" drop axle. You can then use Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 3,500-lb E-Z Lube Axles - 5 on 5 - Pre-Greased # AKIHUB-550-35-EZ-K if you need 5 on 5 lug pattern or use Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 3,500-lb E-Z Lube Axles - 10" Diameter - 5 on 5 - Pre-Greased # AKHD-550-35-EZ-K for 5 on 5 lug pattern with hub and drum assembly for electric / hydraulic brakes.

I have attached demonstration videos for these axles listed.
