Info Needed to Pick Out Replacement Axle for Trailer

Question:

I have an older Continental Jon Boat Trailer that has 4.8-8 tires on a 40 frame. I would like to replace the axle, leaf springs and upgrade to larger wheels and tires to make it more capable on the highway. Could you please walk me through what I need to purchase to make this upgrade possible? Thanks!

I'd need the distance between the spring centers of your current axle as well as the distance from hub face to hub face and I'd be able to pick out the correct axle for your application. The axle info for trailer at this time is not shared anywhere online for us to be able to check and see what yours came with. We also would need to know what axle capacity you need.

The rest of the components you mentioned needing will all be based off the axle capacity you'd need so we'd need to start there. It's probably a 2k axle or a 2,200 lb axle.
