The Dexter Trailer Axle Beam # 8327864 includes EZ lube spindles which make greasing the axle bearings a simple process. It will measure 94" from hub face to hub face and has mounts for leaf springs 79" on center. If these are different from what you need please let me know and I will find you something closer.
For the Idler Hub Assembly # AKIHUB-865-7-2-EZ-K. This will attach to the axle and give you the hub pattern that you are looking for. It also includes the EZ lube access covers for easy access.
The Wheel and Tire Combination that I like is # A16RTK8BMMFLHD. It is a Provider ST235/80R16 Radial Tire w 16" Viking Aluminum Wheel. If you are looking for a different tire size let me know and I will find the correct one if we have it available.
