We do carry the Trailer Axle w/ Electric Brakes # e75SR which would be an upgrade to your 4,400 lb axles. You're just going to need to measure your hub-face to hub-face and your spring-center to spring-center.

This particular axle has an 89" hub face measurement and a 74" spring center measurement so if that's what you have then this axle will work great. If not, come back with those measurements and we'll find something for you.

You're also going to need new u-bolts. I recommend going with the U-Bolt Kit for Mounting 5,200-lb to 7,000-lb, Round Trailer Axles # APUBR-8 This kit is going to include (4) 7" Long U-bolts, (2) U-Bolt plates for 1-3/4" or 2" springs, and (8) 1/2"-20 Hex nuts.
