Thanks for the information Jeffrey! To replace your StarCraft's axle, you'll need the Lippert Trailer Axle Beam item # LC63PK. This axle matches your measurements perfectly; 86.5" hub face, 68.5" spring center, and designed to replace a 3,500 lbs axles.
The Lippert Axle item # LC63PK has spring seats mounted in the underslung position and 4-bolt brake flanges installed. You'll be able to reuse your existing hubs and brake assemblies.
You said your axle was over swung, which I'm assuming is a typo and you meant overslung and your axles are mounted below your leaf springs. You'll also need the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit item # K71-384-00.
The Over-Under Conversion Kit item # K71-384-00 will allow you to convert the spring seats on the Lippert Axle item # LC63PK so you can mount the axle below your leaf springs. We don't carry axles with the spring seats installed for an overslung setup and you can't weld on new ones to the other side because of the bend in the axle.
The Over-Under Conversion Kit item # K71-384-00 may be a part you weren't expecting having to purchase, however when you replace your axles you have to get new U-Bolts like the 3,500 lbs 5-1/2" Long U-Bolts item # APUBR-1. It is a small cost increase but it's a lot less expensive than modifying or having to customize an axle.
What kind of roads do you typically travel and do you know how you bent your axle?
