Hello Maung, thanks for reaching out. We do have a few options for a 89"HF 74" SC axle that will be an upgrade from what you have now. Take a look at the following:
- Trailer Axle with Idler Hubs - 5 on 4-1/2 Bolt Pattern - 89" Long - 3,500 lbs # e65GR
- Trailer Axle w/ Electric Brakes - Easy Grease - 5 on 4-1/2 Bolt Pattern - 89" Long - 3,500 lbs # e43SR
- Trailer Axle w/ Electric Brakes - Easy Grease - 6 on 5-1/2 Bolt Pattern - 89" Long - 5,200 lbs # e75SR
- Trailer Axle w/ Electric Brakes - Easy Grease - 6 on 5-1/2 Bolt Pattern - 89" Long - 6,000 lbs # e65SR
What bolt pattern do your wheels have? Also are you needing a braking or non-braking axle? Let me know.
You will also need new leaf springs. For that I will need to know the unloaded eye to eye length of the current springs. You can just jack up one side of the trailer and measure.
Also please note that upgrading the axles and leaf springs does not increase the carrying capacity of your trailer. Things like the frame and coupler are still rated for only a certain amount of weight.
