It gets harder... The trailer is slightly narrow than I thought, and
the spring centers are a lot narrower than I thought. There is no stock
axle available for the application. Even if I buy new axles I have to
modify them.

Can you buy just a stub that would fit in the end of the axle tube? I
don't think this one is heavy enough but illustrates what I was
thinking of:

I have to look at the axle again. Replacing the spindle did occur to me. Its a 4" drop axle, and I keep forgetting to look exactly how the drop is made.
I said screw it and ordered some 6K drop axles as close as I could find to length with "loose" (weld on yourself) spring seats. The suggested spring center for that axle is an inch wider than my spring centers, but I can't imagine it will hurt anything if I weld them on 1/2 inch closer together.
One of the old axles will be going under a utility bed (plus frame) to make it into a utility trailer.
The axles under the travel trailer may get salvaged out some day, but not soon. I don't have the time to deal with that to right now.
