Expert Reply:
Hey John, based on the 2-3/8" diameter, your trailer has 3,500lb axles. The one you were looking, the Trailer Axle w/ Electric Brakes - 4" Drop - 5 on 4-1/2 Bolt Pattern - 89" Long - 3,500 lbs # e95SR, is the closest thing we have to your axle dimensions. The spring center to spring center distance is 74" and the hub face to hub face distance is 89". These dimensions are a bit too long, and you don't want to have mismatched axles on a tandem trailer like that.
Your best best is going to be finding the axle at a trailer repair shop or having one custom made. The only solution WE can offer right now is a higher end setup which doesn't use axles since it's an axle-less suspension setup: Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension - Standard Duty - 4" Drop - 4 Bolt Flange - 3,500 lbs # ASR3500S04. Or they come in different variations like with 10" diameter electric brakes: # A35RD545E.
Sorry I didn't have better news.
