Expert Reply:
There are really two dimensions to help you get the correct axle fit for your trailer. The first is the hub face to hub face (the mounting surface where your wheel meets the hub) and the second is the center of your spring seat to the center of the other spring seat. This along with the capacity is how you choose your axle. I've attached a photo to assist.
If you do not have a common size, then there are also universal fit options with the axle-less trailer suspension systems from Timbren. I've linked the page to all your options to assist.
