Hub Dimensions for the etrailer Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for 2,000-lb Axles AKIHUB-545-2-G-2K

Question:

Hello, I have narrowed down my trailer hub to a 5 x 4 1/2, Inner bearing: L44649, Outer bearing: L44649, Inner race: L44610, Outer race: L44610, and tire size 13-14 inch. My issue is that the axle is older and does not have a capacity clearly marked, so I unfortunately bought a hub that is too long for the spindle. My current hub height is 3 1/2inch tall, and the hub I ordered is much taller than this CE Smith Trailer Idler Hub Assembly w/ Case for 2.7K Axles - 5 on 4-1/2 - Galvanized - Pre-Greased, Item CE13315. Does Etrailer list hub height or have any other way to determine the fitment without axle weight rating?

We don't have the hub height listed for the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb Axles # AKIHUB-545-2-G-2K but I was able to locate a technical drawing that shows this hub to have a height of 4" and a bore diameter of 2 1/2".
