Hey Frank, in order to pick out a replacement axle for your trailer there's three pieces of info that is needed. We need to know the length from hub face to hub face, from spring seat center to spring seat center, and the axle's weight capacity. At this time we don't have any axles that are 83 inches in length from hub face to hub face but let me know what dimensions you have and I'll see what I can find.
