Looking for Replacement Axle for 5200 lb Trailer

Question:

Hi, Im replacing a 5200lb trailer axle on my 5th wheel camper and not finding it in the listing. Specs are: 90 1/2 hub/drum face to face 81 1/2 brake flange to flange 5 bolt flanges 68 1/2 spring on center - top mount spring hangers I would prefer to reuse the brake backer plate, electric brakes, and drum/hub I have on the current axle. Even better if I can find a 7000lb axle that fits those specs and still fits the brake flange and drums. Most important is replacing just the axle though with at least the same weight rating, spring mounts, and brake flange. Im hoping you can help!

Hey Josh, we don't have every trailer axle configuration unfortunately so what you would need to do is find a local trailer shop to you and get them the specs you need so they can order you the axle you need.

Hey Josh, were you able to find a trailer shop that could match your axle specs for the 5th wheel? Knowing what worked could help others trying to replace a similar 5,200‑lb setup.

@JamesonC I contacted several custom axle builders and all blew me off. I went with keeping the current axles and repairing the bad spindle. Hopefully i can find a builder down the road that wants the work.
