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.
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…

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 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…
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…
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…
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.
