Hi Matthew,

We do have a 5,200 lb Dexter axle that has an 86-1/2" hub face to hub face measurement with the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with E-Z Lube Spindles - 86-1/2" Long - 5,200 lbs # 8327816 or one with hubs and electric brakes, part # 8327816-EB.

However, the axle has spring seats that are 71-1/2" apart, and not the 68-1/2" you need, so you'd have to have new spring seats welded on with the Spring Seat for Typical 5,200-lb to 7,200-lb, Round Trailer Axles with 3" Diameter # TRSS300.

Having to have new spring seats welded on isn't uncommon though, as finding exact replacements for axle lengths can be difficult.

Hey Matthew, how did things go with the Dexter 5,200-lb axle and the new spring seats? Your update could make it easier for the next person trying to match those same measurements.
