Hey John, thanks for reaching out!
To get the correct replacement axle dimensions you'll measure your hub face and spring center from one side to the other.
I'm attaching a link to our help article, as well as photos from the article to help demonstrate this.
Let me know what you find, as well as your axle weight rating and I'll be happy to help you find what you need!
