A wobbling trailer can make every mile stressful. This 6,000-lb rated axle keeps things calm and controlled with a 3" diameter round steel beam that acts as part of your suspension system. The slight bend near the center gives the right camber so the tires maintain even contact across the tread. That means better straight-line acceleration, steady tracking, and less sway when towing.
Keeping bearings lubricated shouldn’t be a messy job. The Easy Grease spindles feature built-in grease zerks so you can add fresh grease without pulling everything apart. Each hub is pre-greased and fitted with bearings, races, seals, and lug nuts, saving time and keeping the setup clean. The grease cap flange measures 2.446" in diameter, so it seals tight and keeps grime out.
Everything you need to get rolling comes in the box. The kit includes electric brake assemblies, 12-15/16" x 2-3/8" hub-and-drum units, adjuster plugs, mounting bolts, and hardware. The brakes are manual-adjust type, so you can fine-tune them when needed. There’s no actuator or hydraulic lines to run—just wire them up and you’re set. This axle measures 86-1/2" hub face to hub face and 71-1/2" spring center to spring center, with a 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern that fits common 14-1/2" to 16-1/2" wheels.
Loading a heavy trailer is easier when it sits lower to the ground. The underslung design puts the spring seats on the underside of the axle so the leaf springs (sold separately) mount below the beam. That keeps deck height low for quick loading and unloading. The spring seats and spindles come factory-welded in place using a patented process that produces 40% stronger welds and prevents spindle failure.
Every part of this axle and brake setup meets CSA, QAI, and SAE-N standards after thorough lab and road testing. The cast-iron hubs are built for durability, and the high-strength steel beam holds up under long-haul use. With solid construction, proven braking performance, and a limited lifetime warranty, this axle is designed to deliver the kind of reliability you can count on mile after mile.
Ratings & Reviews
This is a big improvement on my existing 3500# axle. I like that the y routed the brake wires through the tube rather than on the outside.
There was no castle nut kit included.
I had to source the parts from another vender to complete the job. Very disappointed
I didn’t think to clarify, I expected this to be shipped as one ready to install assembly. What I received was multiple shipment and not quite all the parts. Customer service quickly resolved the missing items and assembly and install wasn’t terribly difficult so I’m not knocking the product. It is what I was sold.
Awesome axle the spring brackets where wrong from the description but moved and rewelded to fit with zero problems would definitely buy from this company again
Awful service. Ordered an axle they sent a hitch. Cancelled order cause they weren’t going send axle out till they picked up the hitch lol. They still haven’t picked up and won’t refund money till ups picks up. Look around I found an axle place close by 30 minutes away with axles in stock. I will never use etrailer again!!!!!
Delivered as described, earlier than expected, less costly than others with free shipping!
Careful measurements and the axle bolted right up.
Fully greased hubs with seals and bearings installed made assembly quick and easy.
Waiting on new tires for the trailer and will road test soon.
Couldn’t be happier with this purchase from Etrailer!
The axle and brakes were a perfect fit. All of the parts I needed were included and installation was straight forward. I could not be happier.
I ordered two axles to upgrade my trailer capacity to what the frame is rated for, 12,000lbs. The axles have great bearing seats and backing plate studs. The backing plates are fully assembled and ready to connect to the wires already installed into the axle tubes. The hub assembly went smooth and only one set of break shoes needed adjustment. A good buy along with the 5 fully assembled tires and wheels.
Buying the kit complete was a good decision. It showed up early than predicted and having the grease and wires already in place shows your professionalism. I would recommend this product and company to everyone in the market.
Great quality. Works as intended. Super fast delivery.
good products fast shipping good coustomer service thanks
Sent the wrong Axle!!!
The axle seems good. Nice that the ball bearings were grease. We will see over the miles if all goes well. The delivery, besides the break assembly was quick. Not sure why the break assembly was not shipped with the rest.
I used these axles to upgrade my travel trailer suspension.they Seem to be a good quality item. Good paint job on the axles. Compared to axles that came with the travel trailer. Which helps living on the coast.
Ordered them using my original axel tags, had to have them modified to be mounted correctly and rerun the break wires to fit properly. Not sure if my trailer manufacturer modified the original axels to fit but spent quite a bit to make them work.
The axle and spring seat are doing well after a year. Even with my shade-tree mechanic welding abilities and thousands of grueling miles thru some of the roughest highways in North America (namely West Virginia) both are holding up to the task.
Do you have a question about this Trailer Axle?

Sorry that happened Kevin. I'm getting everything together for the return/reshipment of the correct axle!
