I have attached photos of the Trailer Hub, part # 84556UC3-EZ, and of the 2 grease caps that are included.

The distance from the hub where the wheel mounts and the top of the hub opening that the cap installs, is 1-5/8 inches. With the EZ-Lube cap installed, that adds an additional 1 inch, so the total is 2-5/8 inches from the wheel mounting surface to the end of the EZ-Lube grease cap.

If you decide to use the standard grease cap that is included instead of the EZ-Lube cap, the total would then be 2-3/8 inches.

We do not sell custom length axles. I have attached a link to our product page for the axles we do offer.

We also offer axle-less systems that may work for your application. These mount to the trailer frame and eliminate the axle as well as the leaf suspension and hangers. I have attached a link to our product page for the axle-less suspension systems we offer you can take a look at.
