Ya - this is the OP's original photo photoshopped. He requested someone do it for him. My cousin is a PS wiz.

I just talked to a guy at abc trailer in Alabama. They can build the axel I need with hardware and springs for until $200.00. They said about $50.00 for shipping.

Yep, they will put whatever hub you need. I was told to put the wheels under the trailer where I want them, them measure from the inside of the wheel, where the hub will press against it, to the other wheel & they will build it accordingly.

I'll have to look at ppwk. It's an axle place in NH. Went with 3 inch axle so I could use original springs and shock mounts. I'll find the details and get back to you

Not sure of weight now but I know the original axle, wheels, tire, and brakes weighs a s#*t load. Also ditched original wire harness, brake handles, and few other things to cut weight down. Going to try to convert original lights to 12V to keep the look.
