Hey Charles! For your 2012 Work and Play WPT21UL, that “95.5 / 75” on the LCI 4,400-lb tag means 95.5" hub-face and 75" spring-center. You won’t see that exact axle everywhere, but upgrading to a 5,200-lb axle is a solid path. The common close match is 95" hub-face / 80" spring-center, and you can simply have a local trailer or welding shop move the spring seats to 75" to match your frame, that’s a pretty routine job. A ½" difference in hub-face (95.5" vs. 95") only shifts the wheels about ¼" per side, which is totally fine in most setups. One good starting point is the Dexter 5.2K axle kit # e55SR (95"/80").
Quick heads-up: upgrading the axle doesn’t increase your trailer’s GVWR, since that’s limited by the frame, suspension, tires, and coupler. You can also see if a custom 95.5" / 75" 5,200-lb axle kit can be ordered, though those are less common and tend to cost a bit more. Please let me know if you need help finding any other suspension components after the job is done.

Hey Charles, how did things go with the 5,200‑lb axle upgrade for your Work and Play trailer? Did the spring seat adjustment to 75 inches line up well with your frame? Your results could really help others thinking about the same upgrade.
