[Rhodes22-list] Trailer re-Axle Plan

[NewIn76]

All,
I know this is really boat question, but this is a knowledge gap for me. 
All my other trailers have been pretty standard.  My first two boats had
brand new Road King trailers underneath them.  Below is a picture of the
current configuration of my axle.  It's definitely getting replaced.  I plan
to use frame sliders after I cut off the front spring hanger.  Should I
still go with a dropped axle?  I assume spring seats should be mounted on
the bottom of the axle too?  5.2K axle with 4k springs?  Lots of questions,
sorry.
To add insult to injury, I only discovered six months after buying it that
the tire on the port side is 8-14.5, starboard side is 7-14.5.  I was
decided on a new axle before that though because I wanted a conventional
style hub.
