You are going to need to measure your current axles in a few places to get the correct one as we don't have access to what your numbers reference.

You will need to measure from hub face to hub face and then from the spring seat centers. You will also need to know what bolt pattern you have on your current hubs. I attached a help article on how to determine this as well. You might have 58 inches between the center of the spring seats based on what you listed like the part # 20545I-EZ-72-10.

I also attached a link to a page with all of the axles we carry. You'll also need to know the capacity your trailer needs. With that info we can see what axle would work best and also what springs you'd need.

Since you are wanting to add an axle check out the help article I attached down below that covers this topic as well.
