If you are looking for axles with 48 inches spring-center-to-spring-center length, we offer several but they have a weight capacity of 2,000 or 2,200 lbs. I have attached a link to the product page for these axles you can check out.

The closest we come to the 1,000 lb axles you mentioned is our axle-less systems like part # A12RS440. This is a system that has 1,200 lbs capacity and includes a 4 on 4 hub. This is a nice system because you do not have to worry about the width of the trailer and no need to be concerned with springs. The # A12RS440 has springs included.

We do not have any axles that are 48 inches in length.
