When choosing a replacement axle you want one that is the same length. Since you have a hub face measurement of 86.51" a better choice would be an 86-1/2" axle. The # e65SR is an 89" axle so it is several inches longer. Also, you don't need a 6k axle, a 5,200 lb axle is fine. You can use a 6k axle but you need to keep in mind that this will not increase the capacity of your trailer.
For an axle that is equivalent to the # e65SR I recommend the # e73SR, or if you just need the axle itself the # e33GR. This axle has the same length as your current axle. The spring center is different but that is a fairly common occurrence. What you will have to do is cut off the spring seats and weld on # TRSS300 to match your 68-1/2" measurement.
Then, to convert this into an overslung axle, you will need the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit # K71-385-00. This kit will allow you to flip the axle so the leaf springs are on top once it is installed.
