Round trailer axle beam measures 86-1/2" from hub face to hub face (when hubs - sold separately - are mounted) and 71-1/2" from spring center to spring center. E-Z Lube spindles make it easy to lubricate bearings (sold separately).

Specs:
There are multiple ways to measure the length of an axle beam, but the hub-face-to-hub-face and spring-center-to-spring-center lengths are the most accurate. Hub face (A) refers to the length of the axle measured from the base of one wheel stud to the base of the wheel stud on the opposite side of the axle (when hubs are mounted on the beam).
The spring center (B) is the approximate width of your trailer. It is measured from the center of the spring seat on one side of the axle to the center of the seat on the other. This axle beam comes with the spring seats welded on.
If you are replacing your trailer's axle, you should be able to figure out which type you need by determining your trailer's capacity, the bolt pattern of your wheels, the brake type and the aforementioned lengths.
The E-Z Lube spindles on this axle are meant to work with E-Z Lube-compatible hubs to make lubricating your bearings quick and easy. Each E-Z Lube spindle has a zerk fitting on the end. And every E-Z Lube hub comes with a grease cap that has an easy-to-remove rubber plug. Just pop out the plug on the cap to access the zerk on the spindle. When you inject grease into the zerk with a grease gun, the grease will flow to both the inner and outer bearings of the hub, lubricating the bearings and forcing out old, ineffective grease. Once you see new grease beginning to be pushed out, you know that your bearings are fully lubricated. This means that you can lubricate the bearings without the mess of taking apart the entire assembly.
Dexters are made of high-strength steel and come with spindles and spring seats welded on. The spring seats are attached to the underside of the axle so that the leaf springs (sold separately) can mount beneath the axle. The result of this underslung design is a trailer that rides a bit lower for quick and easy loading and unloading.
Each axle is manufactured to create a certain camber angle. This ensures that the angle of the wheels is correct for your towing needs. Because the primary concern when towing is maintaining controlled, in-line movement, each axle is made so that your trailer's tires will run along the pavement evenly, with contact across the width of the tread. The result is excellent straight-line acceleration for steady, in-line tracking. You might notice the bend near the center of the axle; this is what ensures the proper camber angle. Having the center ride a bit higher and the sides of the axle bent lower allows the axle to give just enough to compensate for the load.

Was delivered just as described. Tech help is amazing. They actual listen.
Fit perfect. All parts from my old axle transferred without any problems. I welded the new saddles on the axle without any issues.
Worked as planned = a good fit. My application required me to weld new mounts to the opposite side of the axle - my application was over sprung and had a 68.5" mounting measurement.
The axel was received in excellent condition. After measuring twice I welded the spring pads on. It now sits in the rafters of garage. Dexter sent me a complete axel and spring assembly 2 days later that they said they would not. I now have a spare to take with me to Alaska next month.
Great service and product, it seems rare to find such quality customer service. Thank you
Great price great staff all the way aro und
Got what i was looking for and got great input from Customer Assistance.
Thanks
Well wrapped and no rust to be found on the spindles which is good but its missing a few studs for the backing plates but i dont need them for this applications so it ok
Bought to replace a tube that was bent when I bought it. These are very nice axles, and the amenities of the ezlube setup is awesome. Definitely better than other axles I’ve had in the past
This was part of an upgrade. The easy lube feature is worth its weight in gold.
I order axle, u-bolt kit, and tire/wheel combos. Prices are great and products exactly as described. I received the items quickly. Great service.
Great Looking,Heavy Duty.Pre wired For Brakes Side To Side.Will Solve
My Bent Weak Axle Problems,Thanks
I like trailer and have ordered from them a number of times and will order again.
Fast delivery and was in stock. Made repairs quickly.
The products ordered came as what was in the description, came 1 day earlier than promised and were packaged well.
Thanks to the people and the videos at etrailer, this was pretty simple. My old axle was bent. so I used the information on the site to measure and select the correct axle. I was extra careful, but it really was just a plug and play. I used the trailer quite a bit put at least 8000 miles and the tires are perfect. So I am super happy with my purchase and it save a LOT of money over what the shop would have charged.
Shipping time was great! The only problem was the bottom plate hole spacing for the U-Bolts was not wide enough for my springs. I used the old plates and all went together fine.
The axle was a perfect fit. Was less than an hr to swap out. Simple to grease the bearings now.
The one of the new axles bent after the first use. Dexter replaced it under warranty but with one that didn't resemble the one I got from etrailer. It was made entirely differently. I used it and it worked but I'm not happy with the replacement since the angles of pre-load are different, the tires will wear differently and the unloaded look is different. Dexter customer service didn't care and basically told me to live with it. I have no problem with etrailer but am disappointed with Dexter.
Simple installation and I love the grease setup where it greases from the back seal forward. After I did my normal packing of the bearings and cavity it took over a half of a tube or more grease. A lot easier maintenance than my old setup
I replaced one axle with a 5200 one and it’s been great. Now I’m going to replace both with 6000 lbs axles but it’s going to be in the fall.
