We do have a selection of axles that use an 80" spring center and a 95" hub face that should meet your needs. You'll just need to choose the correct one based off of weight capacity:

- 3,500 lbs # 7359765-EB
- 5,200 lbs # e55SR
- 6,000 lbs # 7461121-EB
- 7,000 lbs # 8327834-EB

Attached is a link to our selection as well as a video on axles for you to check out.
