Expert Reply:

The Trailer Axle w/ Electric Brakes # e43SR that you referenced is a 3,500 lb axle so you will need to use springs with the same capacity. For that I would recommend the 3-Leaf Double-Eye Spring # e57SR that you also referenced.

For a single axle hanger kit you would want the Single-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit # APS1. For a wheel and tire combo that you could run all around your trailer you could get the Karrier ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire with 15" Galvanized Wheel # AM32397. This would match the bolt pattern of the hubs of the axle and would be large enough of a rim to clear the brake drums.

For a U-bolt kit you would want the U-Bolt Kit for Mounting 3,500-lb, Round Trailer Axles # APUBR-1.
