The big things we are looking for on the label are the weight capacity, hub face (HF) length, and the spring center (SC) distance. Your axle is a 4,400 lb 85" HF and 68-1/2" CS Dexter axle. I will tell you up front that we do not carry a direct replacement for this axle.
The most similar option that we offer is the Dexter 5,200 lb axle # 8327816. This will be slightly longer than your axle at 86-1/2" HF and 71-1/2" SC. So while it may be a suitable replacement weight capacity wise, you would have to have new spring seats welded to the axle, and potentially replace other components of your trailer such as u-bolts and hubs - even new wheels possibly, since it requires a 6-lug hub.
You may be able to get a direct replacement Thru Dexter. If you want to look into using the axle we offer, feel free to reach out to me directly and I am happy to help you determine exactly what other parts would be needed.
