Hey Fred! If you have an even number of bolt holes you can measure center to center between opposite holes to find the bolt pattern. If you have an odd number of holes you measure from center to the farthest edge. See the attached photo. For example,…

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.

Hi James; the capacity listed for the Westlake ST205/75R14 Radial Tire w 14" Eagle Aluminum Wheel #WST59FR is for each individual wheel and tire. If you had a pair of them you add the capacity together so the wheels could hold 4,400 lbs and the…

Load range B trailer tires are going to have a lower capacity than C load range tires. Basically that, psi rating, and the ply rating are the only differences. A higher load range tire would last a little longer than lower load ranges of the same…

A TPR roller like the #YR500YW-6P is going to be better than PVC. PVC is a cheaper product. TPR has the properties and performance of both PVC and rubber while having a higher tensile strength so it is going to be the most durable. I don't have a…

Hi Cliff; the inner diameter of the bearings used on 5,200-7,000 lb axles is the same so you can choose a higher rated hub to match the bolt pattern. You can use the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly - 5,200-lb, 6,000-lb and 7,000-lb Axles #42865-KIT…

To determine the size of the hub assembly you need to purchase you have to determine which bearings are in the old assembly. If the old assembly has L44649 inner bearings, you would use the hub you chose #8-258-5UC1. If the inner bearings are marked…

There really isn't a particular maximum trailer weight that is used to determine when brakes need to be added to both axles of a tandem axle setup. While I do still recommend checking your local laws, I am also not aware of any general laws that…
