• Replacement Axle, Brake Assemblies, And Hubs And Drums For M1101 Trailer
  Based on my research your M1101 trailer has a GVWR of around 3400lbs, so for a replacement axle I recommend taking a look at the Timbren Heavy-Duty Axle-Less Trailer Suspension - Straight Spindle - Off-Road Tires - 3,500 lbs # ASR35HDS01 which will bolt to the frame of your trailer and replace your current axle and suspension setup. The # ASR35HDS01 is designed for wide off-road tires meaning it would give you the extra clearance you need to run the typical wide off-road tires found on...

• Replacement Hub and Drum Assembly For Older Drum Marked HD-1206
  The HD-1206 number you found on your drum cross references to the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 5,200-lb Axles - 6 on 5-1/2 # 8-201-5 which is a 12" x 2" drum with the 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern you mentioned but has wheel studs instead of holes for wheel bolts. The # 8-201-5 requires inner bearing # 25580, outer bearing # LM67048, grease seal # RG06-090, and grease cap # RG04-080 as these are not included. I included a video of the # 8-201-5 for you to take a look at.

• Parts Needed to Upgrade Trailer Axles and Suspension to 5,200 lbs
  If you are wanting to replace your axles with traditional axles then the first step would be to find what your Hub Face (A) and Spring Center (B) measurements will need to be (see attached picture). From there you will need to mock up your trailer to determine what size you need of the following items: 4 - Double-eye springs 2 - Front hangers 2 - Center hangers 2 - Rear hangers 2 - Equalizers 8 - Shackle straps 14 - Shackle bolts 4 - Spring seats (if needed) 4 - U-bolt sets (8 U-bolts) 4...

• How to Tell if Dexter Hub and Drum Will Fit a 2006 Raytheon M1101 and Work with FJ Cruiser Wheels
  Hey Efrain, thanks for the photos! From what I'm seeing it does look like the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # 8-201-5UC3-EZ bearings will fit, you'll just want to make sure your spindle measures 2.125" where the grease seal rides in order for this to properly fit. If your FJ Cruiser has a 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern then the wheel should fit just fine on this but you'll need to make sure your trailer fenders and frame will still have enough clearance and won't be rubbing during travel.

• Replacing the Axle on a Gooseneck Horse Trailer
  An axle flip kit like part # K71-384-00 will raise the trailer the diameter of the axle plus the height of the leaf spring pack. I do have options for you but rotating the axle to where the bend faces the other direction is not one of them. The bend in the axle will actually straighten out once a load is placed on the trailer and if this was reversed, the axle would lose capacity. Now from this point forward you have two options both of which entail replacing the axle. Since your current...

• Looking For New Brakes And Hubs For Trailer With Hub Number 8-201
  Hey Josh, thanks for reaching out. The part number from the drum helps a lot, but there are a few different versions of the 8-201 hub so you really just need to determine which one fits your application best. All 3 options I will list below use the same bearings so it boils down to the weight capacity and the inner diameter of the grease seal used: - Part - # 8-201-9UC3-EZ - 5.2K - 6K capacity and seal has ID of 2.125" - Part - # 8-201-5UC3-EZ - 5.2K capacity and seal has ID of 2.125" -...

• Hub/Drums and Brake Assemblies to Use with Timbren Axle Less Kit HD For 3,500 lb Axles
  Hey Michael, the correct hub/drum to use with the Timbren kit part # ASR35HDS05 would be the part # 8-201-5UC3-EZ which has a 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern. Then for brakes you'd want the part # AKEBRK-7-SA. The hubs mentioned have a 6 lug bolt pattern, do you have wheels and tires already?

• Parts Needed for Adding Electric Brakes to Trailer with Bearings LM67048 25580
  For a new hub/drum that will work great with your current axles you'd want the part # 8-201-5UC3-EZ and then for brake assemblies you'd want the # AKEBRK-7-SA which are self-adjusting. To wire up the brakes you'd need 10 gauge wire like part # 10-1-1 which we sell by the foot. Then leaf springs the part # e34SR would work really well too. Then for a U-bolt kit you'd want the part # APUBR-8. For new shackles I'd need you to get me the length of the ones you have now though. Measured from...

• Can Trailer Hubs Be Used On A Mobile Home Axle?
  Hey Matt, thanks for reaching out. We may have a bearing or two that match your ID measurements, but we do not have a hub that uses the bearing sizes you mentioned. The 1.378” inner bearing, part # L68149 is a fairly common bearing, but this is generally used with the 1.063" ID # L44649 bearing. Mobile home axles are designed for one-time use applications, and meant to be discarded after that. They do not use standard bearing combinations or hub sizes that most trailers use. I wish we...

• Minimum Size Wheel Pilot Diameter that Fits 5,200 lb Dexter 6 Lub Hub
  The maximum hub bore measurement for the 5,200 LB or 6,000 LB Dexter hub and drum assembly # 8-201-5UC3-EZ is 3.622 inches. So a wheel with center bore of 3-3/4 inches would fit.

• Do 3,500 lb Trailer Axles and 5,200 lb Axles Use Same Hub/Drums and Brake Assemblies
  The hub/drum/brake assembly components are a totally different size between a 3,500 lb axle and a 5,200 lb axle. You can easily swap to the 5,200 lb axle like the part # 8327816 but you will need new hub/drums like the # 8-201-5UC3-EZ which has a 12 inch diameter (3,500 lb setups are 10 inch), and then for brake assemblies # 23-464-465 for a left and right hand side. This setup will require wheels that have a 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern which you may or may not already have.

• Replacement Axle Needed for Lippert 5,200 lbs Axle with Serial Number 045-001684271
  I do have a solution for you, however when I spoke with my contact at Lippert they said that your axle is rated for 5,200 lbs and the highest rated standard axles that we have are rated for 3,500 lbs. The alternative solution that we have is the Timbren Axle-Less Suspension # ASR5200S01. This system is rated for 5,200 lbs and can be used as a single axle or you can use 2 for a tandem axle trailer. There are a few great things about the Timbren system. It increases ground clearance since...

• Upgrading from D35 Dexter 3,500 Lb Axle to 5,200 Lb Timbren Axle-Less Suspension
  Technically, there isn't a reason why you couldn't replace your Dexter 3,500 lb axle with a higher-rated one. That being said, that doesn't automatically increase your trailer's weight capacity. You would still be limited by the lowest-rated component and that can be something other than the axle, such as the trailer's frame. If you reach out to the trailer manufacturer, they should be able to tell you which is the lowest rated component on your trailer. Now, in order to convert to the...

• Axle Recommendation for Trailer Carrying 9,000 Lbs
  Since you mention that your trailer will max out 9,000 pounds, which I assume includes the weight of the trailer frame and all cargo, I recommend going with the Timbren Axle-Less Suspension, # ASR5200S01. I spoke with my shop manager regarding whether he felt using the 5,200 pound axles would be overkill. He strongly recommends going with an axle that has a higher capacity than the amount of weight that you plan to carry and feels that the 5,200 capacity axles would be a good choice....

• Recommended Replacement Axles For Tandem Axle Boat Trailer
  As long as the frame itself can handle the additional weight, you would need to upgrade all of the other components under that weight capacity including the coupler. I recommend using the Timbren Axle-Less Suspension - Spindle Only - Regular Tires - 5200 lbs # ASR5200S01. This will allow your to simply remove the existing suspension and axles and add a cross beam or add a piece of 2x3 inch tubing between the axles in the integrated holes. With these spindles, you can use the Trailer...

• Troubleshooting 2018 Pacific Coachworks SeaBreeze 16BB Trailer Wheel Clearance
  In order for them to give it a 4,200 lb capacity rating, the weakest component on the trailer has to be able to withstand that capacity so you most likely have a 4,200 lb axle. We do have the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit # K71-385-00 which will allow you to raise your trailer by the axle diameter plus the leaf spring stack. That will gain you the wheel well clearance. If you want to replace your axles and springs, I need to know some information on the measurements....

• Replacement Hubs and Brakes for 2018 Kodiak Cub 175BH
  Hi Jon; the parts you picked out will work as a replacement. The Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # 8-201-5UC3-EZ is an 8-201 hub with a 6 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern. The etrailer Electric Trailer Brakes # AKEBRK-6 are compatible with this hub and drum assembly. However, I recommend getting the # AKEBRK-7-SA instead. These are self-adjusting so you won't have to worry about adjusting your brakes over time. If you need new brake mounting hardware you can use the # BRKH12.

• What is Difference Between Dexter Hubs # # 8-201-9UC3-EZ and # 8-201-5UC3-EZ
  The only differences between the two hubs you mentioned # 8-201-9UC3-EZ and # 8-201-5UC3-EZ are that the 8-201-5UC3-EZ is not pre-greased and the other is and they have different bearing between the two. But the bearings both have the same inner diameter so it really doesn't matter much. So if I were you Robert I would go with the pre-greased part # 8-201-9UC3-EZ. The bearings that come with both are from China.

• Replacement Grease Seal for Hadco LA370R 6 On 5-1/2 Hub
  We don't offer a grease seal that would have the proper outer diameter to work with your Hadco Hubs, but we might have a solution that would allow you to upgrade your existing hub/drums so they're compatible with easily obtainable grease seals. If your Airsteam uses a standard 12 inch brake assembly like # 23-106, you can replace your hubs using # 8-201-5UC3-EZ which uses the readily available 10-10 grease seal. The hub/drum is compatible with the 25580 inner and LM67048 outer bearing...

• Replacement Brakes And Drums For A 2022 Rockwood Signature Ultra Light 5th Wheel
  Hi Carl! While I couldn't find what bearing combination comes on your 2022 Rockwood Signature Ultra Light 5th wheel, the 5,200 pound capacity did help me narrow it down. You will either need to pull a hub off to see what you have or contact Rockwood with your Vin to have them tell you.

• What Is The Difference Between Dexter Hub And Drum Assemblies 8-201-5UC3-EZ And K08-201-98
  Hello Thomas, thanks for reaching out. The only difference between those two hubs is the size of the included seal. The # 8-201-5UC3-EZ comes with a 2.125" ID seal, while the # K08-201-98 comes with a 2.25" ID seal. The 2.25" seal is more common, but both sizes can be found on axles rated 5.2K-7K. If you can tell me the part number cast on your hub, I should be able to tell you what seal size you need. Or you can remove a hub and measure the ID of your seal with a micrometer. Or measure...
