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…
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 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 William, thank you so much for all of the information! To replace your axles, I recommend the Trailer Axle w/ Electric Brakes item #e73SR. This is a 6,000 lbs axle that come ready to install with pre-greased hubs and electric brake assemblies.…
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…
Hi Kevin! You can definitely put aftermarket TPMS on this tire/wheel combo! The Tamarack ST225/75R15 Trailer Tire with Black Mod Wheel - 6 on 5-1/2 - Bead Balanced #TA76AR includes a fairly heavy duty valve stem, so that is no problem at all.…
Thanks for your question, Steve. Installing the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System #T76FR wouldn’t eliminate the need for a weight distribution system if your setup calls for one, they actually serve two different purposes. A weight…
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…
Hi Wesley! We actually have these listed slightly wrong, so I am having that updated. There is a difference and I have that listed below: Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System - 4" Lift Spindle - **Regular Tires** - 5,200 lbs #T54KV -We…
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…
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…
Thank you for reaching out! The best thing for your situation is to go with the 3,500 lb Dexter Axle #T3584F-8974 you are looking at. While you can upgrade your axles to the 5,200 lb #e55GR, you won't really see a benefit from it unless you also…
I like the easy of navigation through the site. It only took me a couple of minutes to place my order. Thank You I will shop this sight again in the future.
Dial in your fit with trailer axles set for a 58 inch spring center. They line up with existing hangers for an easier swap or fresh build, and if your mounts measure 58-1/2 inch, the spring seats can be moved 1/4 inch to match.
Inspect whether hubs arrive pre-greased and verify paint coverage before install. Pack bearings and spindles with high temp grease if needed. If adding disc brakes, plan actuator placement up front and tie into the breakaway battery/switch at the junction box. Recheck fastener torque after your first few trips.
Yes, you can make it work by moving the spring seats. Remove the seats and reinstall new ones offset by 1/4" to reach 58-1/2". Mock up the axle under the trailer to verify alignment before welding. Measure twice so your hub faces track evenly.
Measure the spring height from mount to axle to predict ride height. This helps dial in approach angle, where an inch or two can make a big difference on a snowmobile trailer. Verify hanger spacing and equalizer height. Check spring bushing fit to the bolt; replace if it feels loose.
Match the hub bearings to your spindle. Some 2,200 lb spindles use L44649 inner and outer, while 3,500 lb hubs typically need L68149 inner and L44649 outer. Confirm bearing and seal numbers on your spindle first. If you plan larger tires, also check your bolt pattern and brake flange compatibility.
