We may have an option for you, but unfortunately we do not carry any axles with a 4,400 lb capacity. We could potentially replace your axle with a 5,200 lb axle like the Dexter # 8327816 which is 86-1/2" long from, hub face to hub face. If you can tell me the hub face length, and spring center length of the current axle, I can see if we have anything that will work as a replacement.

I have included a diagram showing the Dexter # 8327816 axle measurements below for your reference.

What is the difference between the 816 and the 826 axle? The spring saddles are 68.5. This will be for a single axle travel trailer.

@LarryB # 8327816 is a 5.2K axle # 8327826 is a 6K axle. Other than that, they are identical as far as spring center length and hub face length. We do not have any axles with a 68.5" spring center. As long as we get the hub face length right, you can always buy a few loose spring seats # TRSS300 and have them welded on wherever you want.
