Round trailer axle beam measures 89" from hub face to hub face (when hubs - sold separately - are mounted) and 74" from spring center to spring center. EZ-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.
Another helpful measurement to have is the flange-to-flange (C) length, which is measured from the outside of one brake flange to the outside of the one opposite. This length may be easy to obtain if you are replacing an axle, but it's important to note that this measurement is not the preferred method for determining which axle will best fit your trailer.
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.
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.

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.
Axle arrived in perfect condition, was also an exact fit for my Top Hat Trailer.
Your staff was of great help finding my right axle.
I would recommend etrailer to everyone.
So far so good The wiring diagram was spot on

So far so good I have no complaints
Part was a great fit & delivery was on time and properly packaged.
Definitely recommend & I will use this company if future trailer parts are needed.
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.
With Alex's assistance and knowledge of my trailer requirements, I installed two 3500 lb axles. These axles are superior to any others that I was shopping for, and with a combined GVW of 7,000 lbs my trailer is now suited for any medium sized load.
the axle came on time and is installed. And I'm happy.
I was pressed for time to deliver a car and this axle was advertised to be delivered on Tuesday. Then, tracking changed delivery to Wednesday. Still, it was timely enough, barely. The axle looked perfect except, there weren’t any spring perches! The axle was ordered with perches. I spoke with a delightful young lady, if that is not woke I don’t care. She remedied the situation, HOPEFULLY.
mounted right up were the old axles were. no problems installing them.
Perfect factory fit ships quick.
On time as expected, Perfect fit.
The video was great after i had axle in place,would appreciate a little info with axle which way wires face if you need them,how is axle nut held in place.
Very fast shipping, delivered when it said it would be. Axle fit perfectly
I have been dealing with etrailer for years. They are great. I would give them five stars for their customer service. The Dexter axle is the reason for the four stars only issue I have with it is they don't use heavy enough wire through the axle for the brakes. The connections always burn through once they get hot. I end up running a piece of number 14 wire over the axle to connect the brakes
Does a wonderful job…great price…always shipped on time…can’t say enough about etrailer…
Had an axle go out on one of my trailers during my busiest season, local dealers wanted way more for the axle and most didn’t have it in stock. They also wanted to charge me to measure it and weld spring brackets on. I found etrailer just by googling, called to ask a couple questions and sherry the representative answered everything perfectly and even took my order over the phone to speed up the process. She told me 3-4 days for delivery, maybe even until
Monday and by my complete surprise the axle was delivered in under 24 hours of me placing the order. I couldn’t be happier and definitely recommend etrailer!
Great service as always out of etrailer. I ordered 2 new axles for my car carrier, great specs on your webpage made for a perfect match. Items arrived in 3 days, heavily wrapped and will add that the end of the axles which could rust if not installed soon were covered in grease, a nice touch to insure no damage. Thanks as always for having a great source for all things trailers!...

Axle should have a slight bend to it.
They have what you need and fast shippi ng.
Perfect replacement axle for my trailer. I've used and abused it for a full year and it looks like new!
Specs. matched exact to the broken axle and was easy to install. I was surprised that the axle was pre-wired although it was not replacement of the brake axle on my trailer. Hub fit nicely and trailer is now ready for the next haul job. Delivery was as promised.

The axle has been a good replacement and has worked as it should.
Super fast shipping. Very happy with th at.
I'm very pleased with all of my purchases from eTrailer. Everything has seemed to be of excellent quality and value. The wiring kits and directions were very well thought out and one of the projects I completed would not have been possible had it not been for the excellent videos on the website.
I'm an eTrailer customer for life!
The axle fit like a glove, It took about an hour and half by the time I put the tools away
I only had two jack stands make sure you have four or cinder blocks will work also and a new bearing and U bolt kit.
I was going thru one used tire a week because the axle spindle was bent now this trailer is riding smooth!.
They shipped the axle right away, very happy with the product and service from etrailer.
Axle is perfect. Holding up well after a year plus.
