Hey axwork I built a off road trailer you can search for my posts its been awhile since ove been around went through a cash flow crunch amd thought I would neef to sell ot but everything worked out so still have it and will update the thread when I have some time to work on it more. thought I posted it in a fabrication forum but looks like thats gone now maybe im going crazy but if u search for my posts it will pop up. As far as the axle goes u can order one online. I got a 3500# axle with 5x5 hubs. You will not be able to fit factory wheels over the trailer hub unless u machine the hole in the center of the wheel or use a spacer. I machined mine not as pretty since u can see the hubs dust cap but makes greasing the hubs easier and cost me nothing. I will try to find a link whete I ordered it from but I think they where a sponsor since I got 10% off my order.

Heres the link trailerpart.com/ I think I got everything axle springs misc. Hardware for around 300 not sure what your planned use is but a queen mattress is 5x7 my plan was to have two lids thay flipped open to make sleeping platforms for queen air mattresses and have a Montana style tent that would fit over the top. Couldnt see trying to fit my family of 4 in a little roof top style tent but to each there own let me knpw if u have any more questions
