Question:
Just a clarification. I'm not looking to only change left or right. I'm asking if I can change left and right on the front axle and then keep the rear axle in place as it is.

As far as the pinion/spindle, you can replace the spindle itself, but there are a few different options as far as the inclusion of a brake flange, the diameter of the end stub, and whether the spindle is square or round. I went ahead and linked all of the available spindles we have for a 3,500 pound torsion axle. As far as the installation process, you will need to grind/drill the old ones off and weld the new ones onto the axle.
If you want an easier solution, I recommend replacing the whole axle. For a complete system with the spindles and hubs attached, I recommend the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System w Electric Brake Hubs - Straight Spindle - 3,500 lbs # A35RS545E. This system comes with a 5 on 4-1/2 lug pattern. If you want a system with the spindles without the hubs, that is the Timbren Heavy-Duty Axle-Less Trailer Suspension - Straight Spindle - Off-Road Tires - 3,500 lbs # ASR35HDS01.
With both of these solutions, I recommend making sure that no other components are damaged from the exploding hub. This is a safety precaution to make sure that there are no other components that need to be replaced.
