Hi Mark!
While we do carry all the parts that will fit on your axle (linked at the bottom of this answer), we do not have an axle that is going to work for you, unfortunately. The closest we have is the Lippert # LC63PK, which does match your hub face and spring seat measurements, but it's only rated up to 3,500 pounds and will not use the same bearings as your current axle or hubs.
With that being said, you are going to need to go to a local trailer place that can have Dexter axles built to your specifications. This is a very common thing to have happen and they will be able to get you what you are looking for.
Sorry we didn't have an axle for you. Out of curiosity though, what happened to your axle?

Depending on the reason you need a new axle, I recommend looking at upsizing the complete assemble. I have had a difficult time with my GD Imagine trailer tires. Despite my axle looking good with a proper camber and spending extra time and money on suspension upgrades, I still have significant wear on the inner treads. I have weighed my trailer frequently, loaded and unloaded. I have never been over weight in total, but I think my rear axle is carrying most of the weight. 4,400 lbs in my opinion is too close to the GVWR provided by the manufacturer. Even if the ride is stiffer with heavier suspension, I'd trade that for not replacing tires each year at 20,000 miles. Next trailer will have heavier axles and independent suspension now being offered by several RV MFG. E-Trailer is great, but with 4,400lb axles I have never caught the tiger by the tail.
