Expert Reply:
You can but it's going to stick out an extra 1-1/2" wide on either side and you'll need to move the spring seats and replace them with a pair of item # TRSS175. I checked our inventory and the etrailer Axle item # e37YR you were looking at is going to be the closest we have to your 69" hub-face-to-hub-face dimension.
