Features to know about

Steady, Predictable Towing: 3,500-lb High-Strength Steel Axle Beam

A worn or bent axle can throw your whole setup off. This Dexter trailer axle beam brings everything back in line with a 3,500-lb weight capacity and high-strength steel construction you can count on. It measures 95" from hub face to hub face and 80" from spring center to spring center, giving your suspension the correct geometry for solid tracking and reliable handling mile after mile.

Easy Bearing Maintenance Without the Mess: E-Z Lube Spindles

Keeping bearings packed doesnt have to mean taking everything apart. The straight E-Z Lube spindles feature built-in grease zerks so you can pump in fresh grease right through the end of the spindle. The grease flows through to both the inner and outer bearings, pushing old grease out so you know its fullall without removing hubs or seals.

Smooth Tire Contact for Controlled Ride: Zero Camber Bend

Youll notice a slight bow in the middle of the axlethats intentional. Dexter builds in a bend that sets a zero camber angle once the weight of your trailer is on it. That means even road-to-tread contact across your tires for better traction, even wear, and steady straight-line towing without wandering or pulling.

Low, Stable Load Height: Underslung Leaf-Spring Design

Loading and unloading gets easier when the deck sits lower. This underslung axle has spring seats welded to the underside so your leaf springs mount below the tube. The setup keeps your trailer height low for simple access while maintaining full suspension travel and stability on the road.

Position Your Suspension Layout

Loose spring seats let you position the suspension to match your trailer layout before welding them in place. Combined with the straight axle beam and integrated spindles, they provide flexibility for replacement or custom fabrication projects.

It fit fine to replace a Hayes axle of early 2000s vintage that was bent. The spindle washer and nut configuration of this is much better than the old Hayes axle.
by:
Joy (the customer rep) was excellent. She helped me measure correctly, as it is very important to get the correct axle. I would highly recommend. Great price, free shipping and fast delivery. A+++
by:
I did not run into any problems installing this 3500 pound trailer axle. All the welds look good and the measurements were spot on. I love the bend in the axle to compensate for the weight of the load and to put the proper camber on the tires. I will keep a close eye on the wear of the tires. But so far everything looks good. You guys also are super fast at getting the product here. I really appreciate that, along with the free shipping. Simply fantastic I have used etrailer twice and have been 100 percent satisfying keep up the good work.
by:
I ordered 2 axles on Wednesday night. They arrived Saturday afternoon two days early than expected. Thanks so much. I was back on the road in no time.

That’s pretty incredible, David. When you think about it, the etrailer family started this business back in the 1880s. Folks would bring their broken wagons to Joseph so he could help get them back on the road. Fast forward about 146 years, and we’re still doing the same thing, helping people find the parts they need to keep moving. The only difference is the way we do it. Thanks so much for the awesome review. I’m glad everything arrived quicker than you expected. What kind of trailer did you end up installing them on?

by:
Great product excellent shipping!
by:
This axle and spindle assembly are high quality. Identical to the Dexter axle and spindle ass. that were on the trailer originally. A Big Tex S35 6' x 10' trailer that is 30+ years old.
I got the grease zerk EZ Lube version. The hubs fit perfectly on the spindles
by:
I couldn't have been happier with both price and speedy shipping on these parts.
by:
Always top notch. I have used etrailer.com for decades and will continue to use them.
by:
The staff at etrailer was so helpful to get me the right axle and get it to me super fast!!

Thanks for the kind words, Andrew! We do our best! : ) Are you building a trailer or rehabbing one?

by:
I placed my order on Thursday and it arrived Saturday. The axle beams were wrapped well in heavy plastic. They arrived in excellent condition except for a crushed and broken brake wire. I will have to remove the spring seats and weld new ones on since my camper has a 68 1/2 inch frame but that combination was hard to find. I’m am planning on using these to upgrade from Lippert 3500# axles, one of which we bent last year. I would definitely recommend etrailer and plan on buying more of the components for my project from them.
by:
Does what it is supposed to do , i will be buying more of the same.
by:
Very good product at a fair price. It is packaged and shipped very carefully and I appreciate that they pre-wire the brake wire cross-over.

The USPS shipping was extremely frustrating (slow and untraceable) but that's not on etrailer.
by:
etrailer had the best prices and excellent customer service, Thanks Ian! Shipping was fast and free to boot. I bent the front axle on my in-laws fifth wheel camper and this axle fit the bill. I had to order a set of spring seats and weld them to the opposite sides. The original seats were at 68.5 " centers and that configuration was unavailable anywhere.
by:
I inherited an aluminum trailer that ended up needing a complete overhaul and etrailer was the best resource I could have found. After researching extensively to find out what I needed and watching their videos on how to do it I ended up ordering an EZ-lube axle, galvanized hubs, springs and a hanger kit (in other words everything from the frame down).
Everything shipped quickly and arrived in great shape. All the parts worked perfectly and I couldn't be happier!
by:
I received the items in a very timely fashion and in great shape. I torched off the old U bolts and removed the axle. I removed the new spring seats using a cut off wheel in my grinder and moved them inward one inch on each side, then MIG weld the new ones on they lined up perfectly to the old ones. I then installed the new U bolt kit and torqued them down to 65 foot lbs. The old bearings were only one year old and reused them after cleaning. I installed new seals at this time. The brake pads were same age as bearings showing little wear. The old axles were not Dexter axles and rusted from the inside out then broke off by the drop.. I replaced both. Was a pleasant experience and would do it all over again.
by:
After a rust related axle failure, my equipment trailer was down. (If you roll in the rust belt, check your axles near where the brake wire goes through)
After checking my local source, I was told there was a long lead time for new axles due to the pandemic.
I was so happy to find etrailer. They had the exact axles I needed. After I pulled the axles I realized I also needed hardware and u-bolts.
Everything arrived ahead of schedule, allowing me to get back up and running quickly.
Thank you etrailer. You are a valuable resource.
by:
Perfect fit, nice axle and fast delivery. I liked it so much I ordered another a day later to replace the front axle. My 30 yr old tandem trailer's axle broke at the wheel, so I went to a local store which doesn't stock them anymore. Could of ordered a so so axle for $94 + $28 shipping and wait 2 weeks but needed it fast. I went to a major trailer sales & service shop and told "maybe we could get one for $250" with no call back. I decided to check out etrailer and was surprised to see Dexter axles that fit my trailer for $140 with FREE shipping in 3-4 days! Ordered Sat. night, got it Wednesday afternoon, and installed it (with brakes) in an hour. Only problem I had was determining if spindles would fit my hubs. They stated "1/16th spindle" and must be industry talk but french to me. So I had to look up bearing #'s they listed to check bearing sizes to make sure they fit my hubs. A little more time but not a deal breaker. The best part was the huge difference in ride with just one new axle. Always had bouncing loaded or not, but now with just one axle the ride is smoother no load and with my 4000 lb tractor on it. Can't wait to get the 2nd axle on that arrived today. First two pics show the difference between the old straight axle and the new dexter axle. The third is a pic of my 2nd axle, oh well. Etrailer is my new go to place for trailer parts. I have 7 trailers.

Mission accompolished just a few minutes ago. The attached (3) images attached tell the story.

Any customer relocating spring seats should measure closely before welding new seats in place to fit their trailer needs.

Again your technical assistance and quick order leave me a very very satisfied customer..
[Thumbs up]

Great Axle! One year in, it's performing well.
