Hey Steve, thanks for reaching out. The CE Smith Trailer Axle Beam #CES84XR is a 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" square tube. The overall length is 54". The hub face length is 49" and it measures 38-1/2" from spring center to spring center.…

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…

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…

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

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…

Hey Levi, when picking out trailer leaf springs you want to base it off the axle capacity of the trailer and the length. You want to go with a spring that's about 1/4 inch shorter in length than one of your old springs when there isn't a load…

Hi Jeff! So the only combo with the 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern we have that provides that Load Range E rating is the Taskmaster Provider #TA56AR. It doesn't look like that tire is available by itself, either. This would certainly give you more…

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…

Even though I cannot comment specifically on the grease you used because I am not familiar with it, I can tell you the best grease for trailer bearings is a a grease with a rating of GC-LB, which just means it is made to withstand very high…

The biggest difference between Dexter brake assembly #23-459 and etrailer/AxleTek assembly #AKEBRK-7L-SA is the pad material. The Dexter assemblies use pads that are snapped off of a long strand of the material. The ones on the etrailer assemblies…
