So to pick out a replacement axle for your trailer you are going to need to take a couple measurements. You will need to measure from spring center to spring center as well as from hub face to hub face on your current axle and with that info you'd be able to determine what you'd need.
Once you have that info you can check out the link I attached to this page that has all of the axles we offer that have a 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern like the part # 8327826-EB which measures 86-1/2 inches overall and has 71-1/2 inches between spring seats.
