Hi Gerald; you can use an axle like the # e73SR but you want to make sure the capacity is high enough. Also, this is 86-1/2" long so it will stick out an additional 3/4" on either side. Since your spring center measurement is different you will have to cut off the spring seats and weld on # TRSS300 to match your measurement. We do not have an axle that is an exact match for your 85" length.
Typically when you replace an axle you want to match the capacity and the length. I'm assuming since you said you want to upgrade to 12" brakes you're looking to also increase the capacity of the axle. If you currently have an AL-KO 4,400 lb axle a 5,200 lb axle like the # 8327816-EB would be a little closer in capacity. I'm not sure what capacity you have so the best I can do is guess. We also have universal systems like the Timbren # ASR5200S01 which fit any frame width.
