Video Transcript for Review of Lippert Trailer Axles - Leaf Spring Suspension - LC93PK

Hi, everyone. Steven here with etrailer. Today we're talking Lippert Trailer Axle Beams. So folks, this particular axle beam is about a 3,500 pound max rating, and that's going to match your common utility cargo and equipment trailer axles. Now this is just the beam. As you can see, there are some pre-greased spindles on here.

That's more or less making sure it doesn't rust in shipping though. So, whenever you replace all your components, if you need some, we have them all separately from springs to axle U-bolts to the brakes to the bearings, the hubs. Everything you need, we've got it here at etrailer. Now this particular one, I've got a 85-inch hub face to hub face, and that's going to be where the wheel sits up flush against your hub. That's your hub face.

So side to side, I got 85 inches. It's also on the sticker in the center. If your axle that you're replacing does not have that sticker, sometimes there's a laser etching on there but not always. Probably only in the last 15 or so years of trailer axles it will be laser etched. And then spring center to spring center or spring seat to spring seat, 70 inches exactly.

Now coming over here to the end, you can see that hole, that's your spring seat right there, and that's going to be where you're measuring center to center, side to side. You can see you got your brake wires. They do run this all the way through the tube. Carefully pull out the sides you need if you're doing brakes, and your wires are already ready to go from side to side. This of course is a four-bolt flange pattern.

So that's your common 10 inch by 2 1/4 inch brake assemblies, and of course you got your grease zerk here on the end. That's what makes it a Super Lube Spindle by Lippert. And then, as I said, you've got some grease on here. It's really just to keep the rust off. When they get these and ship them, they're going to be wrapped up. It's probably going to be messy. Wipe all that off. Make sure you're starting with fresh grease always just in case something got on there in shipping. Who knows, right And then this is considered a 4-inch drop. Yes, it's a drop even though it's going up. It's a 4-inch drop. And then it's an underslung because, again, your springs are going underneath the axle, and that's going to be good because that's going to make it easier for loading and unloading the trailer because now everything's going to be a little bit lower as far as your trailer decking and everything. Well folks, I think that's going to wrap up our time together. If you need assistance with the install, we do have install places around the nation. You can click our install locator link below on the product page, and we can pair you up based on your zip code with some installation locations that are trusted by etrailer and that we're affiliated with.
