Hey Tim, so to pick out a trailer axle replacement you need to know the distance between the spring seat centers, the distance from hub face to hub face, and the axle capacity.
For example, the part # e97YR that you referenced is a 3,500 lb axle with a 4 inch drop that has 80 inches between the spring seat centers and has a distance of 95 inches from hub face to hub face.
