I see you were looking at the 3,500lb Trailer Axle w/ Electric Brakes # e45SR. While this does have the 95" hub face you are needing the spring seats are spaced 80" versus 81". You will need to remove both spring seats and have 2 new Seats # TRSS238 welded in at the 81" spring center position. We currently do not carry any axles with the spring seats already at 81".
