Hello James, thanks for reaching out. The closest thing we have to that would be Trailer Idler Axle Beam with Easy Grease Spindles # e48GR. This is a 60" hub face 48" spring center and is rated for 2,000 lbs. It does not have a brake flange though so those would have to be added separately by an axle shop. Sadly, we do not have anything that matches your specs exactly.
We do carry the hydraulic brakes, leaf springs, tires and hangers. We can definitely provide all of that but there is no all inclusive kit that comes with everything. We would need to look at your application and have you mock up your suspension. Then once you know what axle you are using you have to make sure the springs match the axle capacity, and that they are the appropriate length.
A Hanger kit like part # APS4 would work well for a single axle application.
What kind of weight capacity are you needing?
If you are needing an axle made to your specs, I suggest you reach out directly to an axle manufacturer like Dexter.
