I can give you a pretty good idea based on the dimensions of the spindle. Based on the dimensions you listed you have an 84 spindle which would mean you have between a 2,000 and 3,500 lb axle.

If the hub is a 6 lug hub then it would be 3,500 most likely. Otherwise if 5 lug then it could fall anywhere between 2,000 and 3,500.

I attached a link to a page that has all of the hubs we offer that would fit your spindle.

Since you mentioned you are traveling on gravel and rocky roads, the best option is to go with a 205/75-14 bias tire as opposed to a radial tire. The reason is, the cords inside a bias ply tire run at a 32 degree angle to the direction of travel,…
