We have a 2,000 lb axle that has an overall length of 72 inches from hub face to hub face and has a spring center dimension of 58 inches like you need, part # T20BTR-EZ-7258. Check out the review video I attached for more info.

We don't have a 3,500 lb axle that has those dimensions.

3,500 lbs is quite a bit of capacity for a 5 by 8 trailer, you might be able to get by with the 2k axle part # T20BTR-EZ-7258.

Since both a ST145/R12 size tire, like the Kenda Karrier S-Trail #AM10130, and a 5.30-12 size tire, like the Kenda K353 #AM10068, fit a 12 inch wheel, a ST145/R12 size tire can replace a 5.30-12 size tire. Keep in mind that these tires do have…
