Expert Reply:

The absolute closest axle we have to your measurements is the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with E-Z Lube Spindles - 86-1/2" Long - 5,200 lbs # 8327816 (without hubs) or the # 8327816-EB (with hubs). Both of these axles have a hub-face to hub-face measurement of 86-1/2" and a spring center to spring center measurement of 71-1/2 inches.

With these measurements, the hubs recede about 1/4" according to your given measurements. I recommend making sure that your setup can accommodate for this slightly shorter length. Additionally, with the different spring center measurements, you will need to move the spring seats on your axle to equal your 70 inches. It is important to note that since we do not know the weight rating of your rig, I recommend consulting with the manufacturer to make sure that your trailer can use the 5,200 pound weight rating of the axle.
