I believe you need 21 1/4 inch axles which come out of a vanagon. There are 2 different sizes. I think . Double check with somebody else, its been a while since I dealt with any

Vacation! I thought he was on winter break right now. He can't go on vacation too! Just kidding hope he has a good time.

Your right on the axle length for the 3x5 arms.
