Thank you for providing the specs for the suspension components that you already have. Correct hanger spacing really depends on the components being used such as springs, hangers and equalizers. Most of the hanger spacing dimensions that we have are…
Hey Mike. We only have axles with 58" spring seats like the Trailer Axle with Idler Hubs item #e37YR. You can remove the spring seats and reinstall the Spring Seat for Typical 2,000-lb, Round Trailer Axles item #TRSS175 so they are a 1/4"…
In order to determine the torque rating for the lug nuts on your trailer you will need to know check out the chart I attached that shows all of the torque specs for all the trailer lugs available based on stud size, wheel material and wheel size.
Hey Oleksiy, I have a suspension enhancement kit that does fit your 2019 Freightliner M2 with the Timbren kit part #TFRM2A but we don't have any air bag kits that fit your M2. Would you be open to the Timbren kit? It doesn't require…
Sorry Doug, you're right. I went off of the 7k axle rating and didn't thoroughly check, sorry about that. Those are 7,200 lb hubs that use 12-1/4" x 2-1/2" brakes. I'm not sure if there are self-adjusting, we only have the…
Hello Greg, thanks for reaching out. Sadly, we do not offer any replacement rubber springs for the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension. Your best bet would be to reach out directly to Timbren for that. I believe they can provide them. The rubber…
You can use leaf springs that are rated higher than the axle without any issues as long as they measure the correct measurement for your trailer. For example the 6-leaf double eye spring for 7,000 lb axles part #e64SR measures 24-7/8" eye to…
Hi Paul, you’re definitely on the right track here, and I can help you narrow this down with confidence. With your tandem 3,500 lb Dexter axles and 33 inch spacing, both the Dexter EZ Flex part #K71-652-00 and the Lippert Road Armor part #LC53CK are…
Hey Charles! For your 2012 Work and Play WPT21UL, that “95.5 / 75” on the LCI 4,400-lb tag means 95.5" hub-face and 75" spring-center. You won’t see that exact axle everywhere, but upgrading to a 5,200-lb axle is a solid path. The common…
It sounds like you are speaking of the wires for the brake magnets. If this is correct, you will need to connect one of the wires to the brake controller output wire on your trailer connector and the other wire will need to be grounded to a clean…
The Dexter Trailer Hub Assembly you referenced, part #AKIHUB-440-2-1K is known as an idler hub. An idler is a hub that is no provisions for trailer brakes. It has no brake drum. Part #8-276-5 is an example of a hub/ drum that has a brake drum that…
Hey Dusty, I emailed the manufacturer to get the dimensions you are looking for on the #ABS56FR and the overall length is 5-5/32” with the hole spacing of 3-29/32” center to center.

Trailer axles are crucial for ensuring your trailer can handle the loads you need to transport. Whether you're upgrading an old axle or building a new trailer, consider the load capacity, axle type, and compatibility with your trailer's dimensions. A well-chosen axle ensures smooth rides and reliable performance over long distances.
When selecting a trailer axle, consider the load capacity, axle type (straight or drop), and compatibility with your trailer's dimensions. Ensure it fits your trailer's weight requirements and is compatible with your existing components like springs and hubs.
Measure the distance between the mounting points and check the axle's specifications. It's crucial to match the axle's weight capacity with your trailer's needs. Many find that axles bolt right up without modifications, but always double-check dimensions and specifications.
Installation is often straightforward, especially with two people. Ensure you have the right tools and follow any included instructions. Some find it helpful to have mechanical ability, and using marine grease can enhance performance. Check for any additional parts like fenders if upgrading tire sizes.
Common issues include receiving the wrong axle type or damaged parts due to poor packaging. Always inspect your delivery upon arrival and ensure all components are correct. If issues arise, having a backup plan for quick replacements can be beneficial.
Trailer axles are designed to handle significant loads, with many users reporting smooth rides even over long distances. Ensure your axle's load capacity matches your needs, and consider pairing it with quality tires for optimal performance.
