Your axle has dimensions that we don't have any direct leaf spring style axles for but we do have a Timbren axle less kit like the part # ASR3500S05 which is a 3,500 lb axle solution. This is similar to a torsion setup but uses a rubber spring and doesn't have a crossbeam.

If you wanted to go with a standard axle you'd need one with 68.5 inches between spring seats and 86.5 from hub face to hub face.
