According to Dexter, your 2013 Jayco 30.5 BHLT axles are 5,200 lb E-Z lube axles. This means you would be able to use the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # 42866UC3 you were looking at assuming you want the 8 on 6-1/2 bolt pattern. If you were also looking for the length this is an 86" long axle with a 68-1/2" spring center.
