The Easy Grease Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2K Axles # AKIHUB-545-2-LFEZ-1K is going to measure about 4-1/4" from the back to the front of the hub bore (see attached photo). This is a standard depth for this size hub so I'd be surprised if our hub doesn't fit your application.

Attached is an installation video of this hub for you to check out!
