Hello Evan,
Many moons ago we used to make custom axles, but we no longer do that. But don't be discouraged, what we recommend is getting the Dexter Trailer Axle with Idler Hubs - 5 on 4-1/2 Bolt Pattern - 60" Long - 2,000 lbs # 20545I-ST-60-15 (the axle you were looking at), then adding new spring seats where you need them. We do NOT recommend cutting off the other ones, there is too much room for error on doing so and you can very easily ruin your brand new axle.
For new spring seats you will want Spring Seat for Typical 2,000-lb, Round Trailer Axles with 1-3/4" Diameter - Qty 1 # TRSS175. The new spring seats will need to be welded on by an experienced welder.
I am sorry we cannot make the custom axle that you need, but this way will work out great!
What kind of trailer is this going on?
