Expert Reply:

It looks like your current axle is a 3,500 lb axle that measures 94" hub face to hub face with an 81" spring seat measurement. Although we do not have a 94" axle, you can use the Trailer Axle Beam with Easy Grease Spindles - 95" Long - 3,500 lbs # e68GR which will stick out 1/2" farther on either side but not cause an issue. This axle will also work with the # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K you looked at.

One thing you will need to do is cut off the spring seats and weld on new ones like the # TRSS238 to match the 81" measurement on your other axle. You will also need a hanger kit like the Tandem-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for Double Eye Springs - 3-1/4" Tall Front/Center/Rear # APT5 and U-Bolt Kit for Mounting 3,500-lb, Round Trailer Axles - 5-1/2" Long U-Bolts # APUBR-1.

You will also want leaf springs that are the same length and capacity of your current leaf springs. I have included a link to our available 3,500 lb double-eye leaf springs below. I have also attached some helpful articles on trailer suspension and axle placement for your reference.
