We have the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with E-Z Lube Spindles # 8327826. While this does have the 86-1/2" hub face spacing you need you will need to weld new 2 new Spring Seats # TRSS300 on at your 68-1/2" measurement. This axle comes with the bare spindles so you will be able to reuse your current hubs and brakes. If you want to go ahead and get new hubs and brakes if they were also damaged we do have the Axle # 8327826-EB.

If you prefer to have the exact axle from Dexter with the correct spring centers you will need to place an special order from your local Dexter parts dealer.
