I do have a solution, but none of our standard axles match your hub face measurement/capacity requirements. The closest thing we have is the Dexter # 20545I-EZ-72-10 which is 72" long with a 2,200 lb capacity. The capacity isn't quite there and it would stick out an extra 3/4" on either side. Like all of our axles, this is designed for an underslung setup.
What you could use instead is the universal Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension. This fits any trailer width and would also upgrade/replace your suspension. We don't have anything with a 2,500 lb capacity so you would have to go to 3,500 lbs. You can choose from the following:
-Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension # ASR3500S05
-Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension w Idler Hubs # A35RS545
-Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension w Electric Brakes # A35RS545E
Since you wanted an overslung axle you might be looking for additional clearance. The # ASR3500S06 is also available with a 4" lift. If a 2,200 lb capacity setup would work you could use the # ASR1THDS03 instead.
I have attached some review and installation videos below for your reference.
