Expert Reply:

We do have a 72 inch hub face to hub face axle, but not one with a 69 inch spring seat to spring seat measurement. That said, what you can do is use the 72 inch axle and have new spring seats welded on where needed. There are two axles with a 72 inch hub face to hub face measurement, one with a 2,000 lb capacity and the other with a 2,200 lb capacity so be sure to get the one with the capacity you need:

- 2,000 lbs: Trailer Idler Axle Beam with Easy Grease Spindles # e78GR

- 2,200 lbs: Dexter Trailer Idler Axle Beam with EZ-Lube Spindles # T20BTR-EZ-7258

- Spring Seat # TRSS175

Then for both, if you need mounting hardware you can use the U-Bolt Kit # APUBR-10 and the correct hub for both is the Easy Grease Trailer Idler Hub for 2K Axles - 13" to 15" Wheels # AKIHUB-545-2-LFEZ-2K.
