Hey Trapper, so I took a look at what we have based off of those measurements you provided and it looks like we only carry 2k # e48GR and 2,200 lb axles # T20BTR-EZ-6048 with those measurements.
You could also use the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension # ASR3500S05 which would work the same, but would also require you to swap out both axles.
The axle-less system has a 3.5k capacity, a 4 bolt mounting flange, has built in camber and toe in to reduce wear on your tires, and works independently so what affects one side of your trailer won't affect the other.
