Hey Douglas, if the axle you have now is a 3,500 lb capacity axle and the spring seat to spring seat dimension is 74 inches yes this would work well for you. If you have a different spring seat dimension though let me know and I'll see what you need.

Hey Douglas, did the 3,500 lb axle end up matching your Anderson trailer’s rear setup? Knowing how the spring seat spacing worked out could help others sorting through similar replacements. Your update could make it easier for the next person with the same issue.
