Most Popular Round Axle - 2-3/8 Inch for 2018 Toyota 4Runner

This product did exactly what we needed it to. Bought a replacement axle from Dexter but it created clearance issues in the wheel wells. After installing this kit we have much more clearance and the trailer rides like a dream.

Outstanding product. I am so grateful the install video was added to the page. I am a hands on individual and struggle reading directions with numerous steps at times and it made it so much easier to install this. The explanation of how the mount has to sit flush with the axle seat once you tighten down the spacers was very helpful during the alignment stage. I still have to weld the brackets to the axle for extra support as recommended but I did notice that I will be gaining roughly 4” of clearance height to my trailer. This will allow me to sit more evenly with my lifted truck and get my trailer in my driveway easier since I have a water drainage built in to the entrance way with a big dip.

New suspension parts made a real difference in trailer handling. Original shackles holes were severely elongated, spring eye mounts were also needing attention. Thank you, etrailer for the needed parts and support.

These parts were a perfect replacement for my old rusted u bolts. I would recommend buying flat and lock washers to place on the u bolts under the nuts due to the holes in the plates being big enough that the nuts get a little torn up when you tighten them, also the nuts it came with aren't lock nuts.

It turned out I needed to adapt the shock kit to my trailer's frame design, so I had a welding shop make mounting brackets which are bolted on to the frame, with the shocks then bolted on. I spent, as I recall, around $130 for the welding and installation, but the shocks work work well, the ride is better, and the trailer sustains less punishment from poor or potholed roads. I'm glad I installed this kit and recommend it.

Not a trailer, but... We needed a set of shocks for a three-wheeled motorcycle truck conversion for our resort/farm in upper Thailand. I had to pack it in my luggage for the trip over. The vehicle came with no shocks on the back axle and the ride was really bad. This kit, with a bit of modification, really did the job and the ride is now significantly better in terms of smoothness and handling. Shocks were a bit long, but it worked out OK.

So glad I stumbled on these. Perfect fit for early Jeep CJ’s with 1.75” wide leaf springs . Saved me hours of cutting, welding, drilling to make my own.n

They were a perfect fit. I underslung the axle to get the ground clearance I needed.

New leaf springs, heavy duty Dexter hardware and U-bolts. Everything fit like a charm and fairly easy to install. Also, etrailer support was awesome! Super helpful.

We purchased these parts for a custom build trailer for hauling heavy tool boxes over steep grades. Since completion of the build about a year ago, we have been using it and put a lot of miles on it. The hydraulic surge brake system makes it worry free. We can tow it behind different vehicles of differing weights and wheel bases and not worry about setting trailer braking, it is very nice. We will continue to use E-trailer for our trailer needs.

I used the lower shock mounting plates with the u bolts that certain with springs and the top bracket already welded to the trailer. Ended up with some extra parts. Can I send them back for credit? Needed two more shackle bolts. Overall well pleased. Thanks Bob

All the trailer parts one ever needs. All in one place, and always at very good prices. When you order a few heavy items always great to know after a certain $ shipping is free. Also just did a first ever return and went very smoothly.
