• Can I Use Hubs with 3500-lb Capacity on Axle with 1750-lb Capacity If The Bearings Match Up?
  First things first; you can determine the specs on your current axle by checking for a sticker or plate attached to the axle itself (you'll usually find it close to the center of the axle). But with that being said, in the event that you can't find anything on the axle itself that would specify the capacity, you'll want to use the bolt pattern on your hubs and the bearings to provide you with a matching hub for your axle and spindle. I'll also say that the L68149 and L44649 are two of the...

• Will the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly AKIHUB-550-35-K Work With Vehicle Wheels
  The Trailer Idler Hub Assembly part # AKIHUB-550-35-K is designed to be used with lug piloted trailer wheels with a 5 on 5" bolt pattern like the Dexstar Steel Spoke Trailer Wheel part # AM20428. In regards to compatibility with vehicle wheels; this is usually not possible because of the bolt pattern not aligning, there being an offset, and some being hub-centric. Therefore, I cannot recommend this.

• 2k Rated Axle System for Off Road Trailer and Hubs with 5 on 5 inch Bolt Pattern
  From the research I did the 2015 Jeep Wrangler with 17-18 inch wheels would have a 5 on 5 inch bolt pattern. For a 2k rated Timbren Axle Less system that has a 4 inch lift built into it and is setup for wider tires we have the part # ASR2KHDS03 and then for an idler hub that will fit the spindle that has the correct bolt pattern you would want the part # AKIHUB-550-35-K.

• Can I Use 18 inch wheels with the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # AKIHUB-550-35-K
  We recommend using 13-15 inch wheels with the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # AKIHUB-550-35-K because the surface of the hub that contacts the wheel isn't large enough to support a wheel larder than 15 inches. With that little of contact, it will not be stable enough to be safe. You can use this wheel # A225R65SMQ. I chose this wheel because they have a nice clean look to them. The grey powder coating looks good and will help it resist against rust and corrosion.

• Availability of Trailer hub with 5 on 5 inch Bolt Pattern
  We have replacement hubs for trailers that have the 5 on 5 inch bolt pattern you have but they'll need to be 3,500 lb axle assemblies as that's only capacity we have that bolt pattern in. For a hub drum you'd want the # AKHD-550-35-EZ-K or for an idler part # AKIHUB-550-35-K. To verify your axle capacity you can check the axle for a plate with ID info and the capacity should be listed there. Or you can measure diameter of axle and if it's 2-3/8 that would indicate it's 2,500 as well.

• Timbren Axeless Suspension System For 5 on 5 Bolt Pattern Wheels To Help With Tire Clearance
  I can certainly recommend a Timbren axle-less system for you. The Timbren Silent Ride Suspension does not have a bracket to flip the axle because there wouldn't be a way to attach the system to the frame if the axle is flipped. When you "flip the axle" you are putting the leaf springs or suspension above the axle which is not going to work with the Timbren Silent Ride system. I also checked to see if they had any spacers available to help with tire clearance and they do not. I recommend...

• Replacement Hubs and U-Bolt Kit for 3,500 Pound Lippert Axle # LC35212150
  From my research your axle is a 3,500 pound, 2-3/8 inch diameter axle and since you have a 5 on 5 bolt pattern you likely have bearings # L44649 and # L68149. You'll want to verify this is correct with your current bearings. If this is the case for a hub and drum assembly I recommend # AKHD-550-35-EZ-K which is for E-Z Lube axles with a zerk fitting. If you have standard axles use # AKHD-550-35-K instead. If you only need idler hubs use # AKIHUB-550-35-EZ-K with E-Z Lube axles and...

• Off Road Timbren Axle Less Recommendation that Can Be Used with Jeep Bolt Pattern

For an idler hub that will fit the spindles of the part # ASR1THDS03 and have the correct bolt pattern we have the # AKIHUB-550-35-K. This is a 3,500 lb trailer hub.
