Hey Nate, I can definitely help and point you in the right direction.
For the axle, I will need to know the weight capacity, hub face (HF) length and spring center (SC) length. There should be a tag or sticker on the axle that has this info, unless it is a really old axle in which case you will have to measure.
For the hubs, knowing what axle you are going with will determine the correct hubs. I just need to know your hub bolt pattern so we can be sure the hubs will work with your wheels.
For the leaf springs, you will need to measure. Jack up one side of the trailer so you can measure the spring when not under a load. Leaf springs are measured from center-eye to center-eye. It is very important that the new springs are identical in size to the old ones.
Drop all this info in the comments below when you have it and I am happy to help guide you to the right parts.
