2,000 lb Axle Recommendation for 72 inches Length and 58 inch Spring Seat
Question:
I need an axle with hub assembly to fit 58 in center of spring and 72 inch hub face. wheels are Specifications Diameter 15 Width 6 Capacity 2,540 LBS Bolt Pattern 5 on 4.5 Center Bore 3.195 Offset 0. My problem is my current axle is mounted under the spring, not on top like the ones I have seen here. There is only 3.5 inches between top of spring and frame. I would be able to do with 2000 pound capacity but would prefer higher. I am using for rough road conditions.

Best option we have would be the # 20545I-EZ-72-10 which is a 2,000 lb axle that is 72 inches long from hub face to hub face and has 58 inches between spring seats and comes with hubs that have 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt patterns.
You'd have to also get new spring seats like part # TRSS175 to weld on the other side of the axles since yours mount on the opposite side.
