Although it's not a direct match, I believe with a slight alteration the # 20545I-EZ-72-10 2200 lb axle you'd looked at would do the trick. You'd need to add new spring seats, part # TRSS175 and tack them into place at the correct location and the inside of each tire would sit 1/8 of an inch closer in to the trailer, but unless the clearance to the inside of your tires as already pretty snug, you should be just fine.
The axle includes idler hubs with the 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern, as well as the bearings, races, seals, grease caps, wheel studs, lug nuts and bearing grease. I've linked to an install video that you might find helpful.
