Since the Dexter Trailer Axle w/ Electric Brakes - 4" Drop - E-Z Lube - 8 on 6-1/2 - 94" - 7,000 lbs # 8327872-EB you were looking at has the same 94" hub face to hub face measurement as you Lippert axle, you will be able to use it as a replacement.

You will need to remove the pre-installed spring seats and have the # TRSS300 welded in the correct location to match you leaf springs.

I included a video of the # 8327872-EB for you to take a look at.
