Features to know about

Lower Deck Height for Easier Loading: 4" Drop Axle Design

Loading and unloading get simpler when your trailer rides lower to the ground. This axle’s 4" drop and underslung design position the spring seats under the axle beam, which brings the deck height down. It’s a noticeable difference that makes lifting heavy gear or rolling equipment aboard much less of a strain.

Smooth and Steady Towing: Even Road-to-Tread Contact

That slight bend in the middle of the beam isn’t a flaw—it’s what keeps your tires tracking true. The zero camber angle design makes sure the tread sits flat on the road, giving steady, in-line acceleration and better control at cruising speed. Every mile feels more balanced and predictable.

Ready-to-Run Hubs: Pre-Greased and Fully Assembled

Getting back on the road is easier when everything is prepped out of the box. This setup includes cast-iron idler hubs that are already packed with bearings, races, seals, and lug nuts. You don’t have to handle messy grease or chase down parts—it’s ready for 13" to 15" wheels right from the start.

Strong Steel Build for 3,500 lbs Capacity

The round 2-3/8" diameter axle tube is built from high-strength steel, good for a 3,500-lb weight capacity. The spindles and spring seats are welded on using a patented process with 40% stronger welds to cut down the chance of spindle failure. It’s solid hardware that holds up to real-world use.

Simple Maintenance with Easy Grease Spindles

Regular lubrication doesn’t have to be a chore. Built-in grease zerks mean you can keep the bearings in shape with just a few pumps of grease—no disassembly or guesswork needed. That keeps rolling resistance down and extends the life of your hubs and bearings.

Had to return. Did not match up with old axel. Called customer service and to order special setup for older boat axel. Waiting on new order which I’ll have to weld kit on axel to match old set up. Thanks to customer service.



by:

With the info provided it was very easy to identify the correct axle for my trailer. Ordering was easy and quick. Delivery was as quoted.



by:

Delivery extremely quick. Very helpful custservice. Only thing….the axle and hub combo did NOT include new castle nuts, washer or new cotter pin.



by:

An excellent choice for my kayak trailer project. 2000# rated and a great match for the other components, springs, hangers and spring mounts.

Wonderful customer service, A simple mistake on my part could have been ignored or disregarded by others , but when I called and explained they were understanding and took care of the issue without hesitation or a lengthy explanation.

Thank you



by:

Item was exactly as described. installed yesterday and everything fit perfect.
But one thing that did concern me was the way it was packaged for shipping. I think we clearly know how UPS handles items. Maybe boxing it up with foam inside would be ideal, but also understand the cost efficiency side of it. Just something to consider for future orders. overall thank you Etrailer for the item.

  • Is It Normal For Torsion Axle To Get Negative Camber When Trailer Is Rotated 180 Degrees?
    Hey Daniel, good question. This is normal for a torsion axle. You spinning the trailer 180 degrees is not going to damage the suspension. That is just how torsion axles work. As the wheels move the rubber inside the axle flexes, and that is what you are seeing with the tire camber. Just normal flex of the suspension. It would be best to straighten the tires when storing the trailer. The suspension flexing like that is normal. As torsion axles wear over time, the spindle will actually...

  • What Dimensions are Needed to Pick Out Replacement Trailer Axle
    Hey Tim, so to pick out a trailer axle replacement you need to know the distance between the spring seat centers, the distance from hub face to hub face, and the axle capacity. For example, the part # e97YR that you referenced is a 3,500 lb axle with a 4 inch drop that has 80 inches between the spring seat centers and has a distance of 95 inches from hub face to hub face.

  • Looking To Replace My Trailer Axle That Is 64" Hub Face, Do You Carry A Replacement?
    Hey Harry, The most important thing when replacing an axle is getting the exact same size as your original. If the hub face, or spring center measurements are off it could throw off the layout of your suspension and cause more issues. With your hub face measurement being 64" the closest we carry is a 60" hub face with a 48" spring center. We do not have an axle that is the same hub face measurement as yours. I would recommend reaching out to Dexter, they still make custom axles and will...

  • Replacement 3,500LB Spindle/Axle Options For Boat Trailer With Obsolete Tapered Spindle 5 on 4-1/2
    Your spindle is an obsolete size and will need to be replaced. We have a couple options such as our Replacement Weld On Straight Spindle # TRU77FR or the 4" Drop Spindle # TRU87FR both of which are designed to weld onto a 2-3/8" outside diameter axle tube. Then you will be able to use a standard size 3,500LB Idler Hub # AKIHUB-545-35-EZ-K. We also have some axle options if you would rather just get a replacement axle you can bolt on.

  • Availability Of A 3,500 lb Torsion Axle
    We actually do not carry torsion axles here at etrailer. We deal with round tube leaf spring axles. We do deal with axle-less suspension which is a type of torsion axle. For a 3,500 lb axle we have the # ASR3500S05. This is a standard duty, 3,500 lb axle less system that bolts directly to the frame of your trailer. This is the closest thing to a torsion axle that we carry. If your spindle is gouged, we do carry replacement spindles like the # TRU77FR which could be used to replace the...
