I reached out to Dexter and found that your axle has a 3,500 lb capacity with a 73" hub face measurement and 58" spring center. When replacing an axle it is important to match the length and capacity. Although we do not offer a 73" 3,500 lb replacement axle, we do have the the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System # ASR3500S05.

The Timbren fits any frame width so there is no need to match your existing axle length. It will also replace your leaf springs and upgrade your suspension while improving clearance. You have the option of a bolt-on or weld-on installation and will be able to use your existing hubs.
