In order to recommend an axle assembly for you, I'll need some more information.
Do you need a brake or an idler axle? Keep in mind that different states have different thresholds at which trailer brakes are required. Your state DOT or Highway Patrol/State Police should be able to provide guidance on this for you.
Do you need a straight or a drop spindle? Straight spindles are used when the bed of the trailer is over the tires or when low ground clearance isn't required. Drop spindles would be used on trailers that need a low deck height, like car haulers or livestock/horse trailers.
What is the hub face to hub face dimension? What is the spring seat center to center dimension (see diagram)? You can get these dimensions by measuring your existing axle.
What is your wheel bolt pattern? I attached an FAQ on determining this.
