The Timbren Heavy-Duty Axle-Less Trailer Suspension # ASR2KHDS01 will be the only thing we carry to replace your square axle with the dimensions you have. This will replace your axle and leaf springs with a progressive spring and independent suspension. It has a weight rating of 2,000lbs and straight spindles. It does use larger spindles that will accept the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # 84545UC1-EZ and has the 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern.
