I'm not sure what parts you are referencing specifically, but if you just mean replacing your 3,500 lb axles, in order to choose the correct replacements for your trailer you will need to know the dimensions of your current axle's hub face to hub face and spring center to spring center; I have added a link below to a video which walks you through how to measure.
We have a couple options for 3,500 lb axles, one that measures 89" hub face to hub face and another that measures 95" hub face to hub face:
- Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with EZ Lube Spindles - 95" Long # 7359765
- Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with EZ Lube Spindles - 89" Long # T3584F-EZ-8974
We don't have all the parts and metal to build an axle, just the ones already built.
