Also the springs are sleeper springs- Im hoping I dont have to do any welding- any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

You would need to measure from the hub face to hub face and then from the spring mount centers to pick out the correct axle to fit your trailer. I attached a picture that shows where these measurements are.
I attached a link to all of the axles we offer as well.
