Expert Reply:

There is not a standard 3,500 lb axle with those measurements so you will either need to have one custom fabricated or go with one of the 3,500 lb Timbren Axle-Less system options:

- No Lift: Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension # ASR3500S05

- 4" Lift: Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension # ASR3500S06

The Timbren Axle-Less system is much better than a standard axle because it gives you an improved ride. The reason for that is the Timbrens aren't connected by an axle beam, so they work independently, meaning if there is a bump on one side of the road it won't rattle your entire trailer. The system also has progressive springs built in which are shock absorbers that allow a much smoother, more comfortable ride than the leaf springs found on standard axles.

Then to add compatible hubs and electric brakes you would need the following:

- Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for 3,500-lb Axles # 84546UC3

- Electric Trailer Brake Kit - Self-Adjusting # AKEBRK-35-SA

- Mounting Hardware for 10" Brake Assemblies # BRKH10B
