According to Blue Ox, it'll take an experienced installer about 4 to 5 hours to complete the installation of their #BX1128 Base Plate Kit on a 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The install isn't what I'd call super-difficult, but the installation…
Hi Don, Based off the measurements of your current equalizer being 5 5/8" center to center, I wouldn't recommend using the MORryde CRE3000 because it's over an inch longer than your current equalizer. Having an equalizer that's…
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.
The #84 spindle is just a common way to identify the spindle dimensions typically used for 3,500 lb axles. So instead of listing out the parts, people can just say they have #84 spindles and it's easier to know what fits it. The CE Smith Trailer…
Hi Calvin! All of the pre-greased hubs/drums, like the Terran Industries Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 3.5K Axles - 10" Diameter - 5 on 4-1/2 #TX68VJ, come with bearings made overseas and are all basically the same quality. At least that I…
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 BTR and BT8 denotations refer to the spindle, not the trailer hub. The difference between a BTR and BT8 spindle is that the BTR spindle uses a 1.063" diameter L44649 bearing and the BT8 spindle uses a 0.99" diameter L44643 bearing. In…

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…

Build your setup your way with trailer axles no hubs, letting you choose hubs, drums, or discs that match your bolt pattern and wheels. Confirm hub face and spring center measurements for a clean fit, and don't flip a drop axle for lift—use an over/under conversion on a round axle with double-eye springs; lift equals the axle diameter plus the leaf spring pack height. Some axles include a slight bend to set tire camber under load.
Do not flip a drop axle for lift. Use an over/under conversion that moves the leaf springs to the top of a round axle. These lifts are about your axle's diameter plus the height of the leaf spring pack and are for double-eye springs. Confirm your axle is the correct round size before choosing a kit.
Pick hubs that fit your spindle type and your wheel bolt pattern. E-Z Lube spindles accept compatible hubs that let you grease through the zerk. For axle-less setups, choose the spindle style that works with your hub choice (regular tire vs off-road) and verify the required bearings, seals, and caps match the hub.
Match the axle's weight rating to your trailer and suspension. Measure your hub distance, spring distance, and overall distance to confirm fit. Some axles have a bend to set tire camber under load, so monitor tire wear after install. Hardware can differ from your old axle, so compare bolt types and lock nuts before tightening.
Bolt-on mounting works when the frame supports it. Some installs call for precise measuring, sharp drill bits, and a drill guide for clean, square holes. Certain frames may need a gusset for mounting strength, and some systems require a 2 inch square tube between assemblies. Greasing after each trip can help in off-road use.
