A couple more things I forgot to mention. Changing to drop axles to get lower may or may not work depending on how your trailer is made. Drop axles need a little more room between the tire and fender than straight axles. Of your trailer is 80 or 81" between the fenders you should be able to get drop axles under. If it's 82 or 83" wide I don't think drop axles will fit.
Also to order your axles you need 2 measurements, spring center and hub face. Getting spring center is easy, just hook your tape measure to the outside of one spring and measure to the inside of the other. Hub face is harder and takes a people. You need to take off the wheels and run a straight edge down off the hub where the wheel sits so you get an accurate measurement.
I know everyone has good intentions, but when it comes to trailers there is a lot of inacurate info out there, so be careful. Mistakes can be costly.
