Trailer Axles - Timbren

Hey Andrew, The CE Smith Trailer Axle Beam with Studded Hubs #CES84XR is a 1-1/2 inch square axle tube.

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.

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…

Hey Roland, thanks for reaching out! Overslung axles are a special order situation and we unfortunately only have standard axles here at etrailer. With that being said, you can order a standard axle that meets your specs and then use the Dexter…

Assuming your tires are in good shape without any bulges the easiest way to determine if you have a bent spindle is to take a straight edge that is longer than the tire and lay it across the tire parallel with your trailer frame and then measure the…

...Hello, I’m looking at the timbren axle-less axles with 4” lift to upgrade my current axle on my livin light Quicksilver 10.0 pop-up camper that only weighs 1000 pounds. I want to use the 3500 pound...

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…

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…

You are indeed right to think this way. When picking out the appropriate leaf springs for your custom built trailer you will want to choose them based on what the actual loaded weight of the trailer will be. Just make sure that the leaf springs have…

When selecting the correct replacement axle for a utility trailer you will need to know both the hub face (wheel center) and spring center measurements. For example, if your current hub face measurement is 88" and you replace this with an axle…

Leaf springs typically have the part #stamped on the strap that holds the leafs together at one end of the shorter leafs, or it is painted on the concave side of the springs. The part number can then be used to determine the capacity of the springs.…

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…
