I would use an 8.8 out of an early foxbody mustang 84-86 the gt 5 speed cars had 2.73 gears. Should be an easy axle to find. But for the amount of fab work that would be in involved would a gas powered generator plumbed to an auxiliary fuel tank be efficient? It would definitely be easier to set up.
Well, again if that had to be it is what it is but I feel the 7.5 lighter axle should be the most useful especially as you mentioned all the extra fab work needed to just mount it let alone the incorporation of a mass of new brake plumbing to keep the drums brakes functional on this trailer.. The Alt/Gen would be used just to keep the battery bank topped off while driving, otherwise I can plug it in here on the 3rd acre with the shore plug or the solar if in place by then.
The fuel tank will have its own electric fuel pump and locker for the pump setup as part of the dual locking tool/storage box forward of the bed. Particularly something like this: Roughneck 12V Fuel Transfer Pump — 8 GPM, Manual Nozzle, Hose but modified to safely work with OEM tank setup
