When picking out trailer axles for a trailer you have to match two dimensions. The distance between the spring center so that it can bolt up to hardware on trailer and the distance from hub face to hub face so that the length is correct overall where the wheels will be placed.
With the trailer axle # 35545I-ST-89 that you referenced your trailer would need to have 74 inches between the spring seats and 89 inches from hub face to hub face.
