• How To Choose Correct 3,500 Lb Axle for Slipper Spring Setup
  In order to determine which axle is correct for your trailer we need to find out what your hub face (HF) and spring center (SC) measurements are. If you take a look at the photo I have attached for you that should then help with obtaining the above two measurements. The most important thing we need to look for is the hub face as the spring center can then be moved (within a range) if we need to. I have attached a list of the 3,500 lb axles we offer in the varying hub face and spring center...

• Can Spring Seats Be Moved On A Trailer Axle Tube
  Hi Tobin, The springs seats on the Trailer Axle w/ Electric Brakes # e95SR could be cut off and new spring seats # TRSS238 can be welded onto the axle tube by a certified welder where you need them to sit.

• Is There an Over-Under Kit for a 2-3/4" Diameter Mobile Home Axle?
  Unfortunately Hans, we do not have an over under kit specific to mobile home axles as they were designed to be used to get the mobile home to where it needs to be and thrown away after they were done. Several people saw these as a cheap opportunity to get an axle and make home made trailers. But none of the trailer manufacturers provide support parts for them. You're only real option would be to weld on some new spring seats but again as it is an uncommon diameter tube we do not have an...

• Replacement Axle for LoadRite Boat Trailer
  I looked up the LoadRite parts and they have torsion axles and traditional spring axles. If you have a trailer that has the springs centered at 58 inches on center and is 1-1/2 inches square, then the axle is a 2,000 lb axle and you would use the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with Standard Spindles - 72" Long - 2,000 lbs # T20BTR-7258 with hardware # APUBR-10. If you have different axle, give me those measurements and I'll try to assist by comparing parts. Overall length, style of springs...

• Are There 3,500 lb Axles With 89 Inch Hub Face to Hub Face Measurement Without Spring Seats
  Hi there Chad; there are actually not any 3,500 lb axles with an 89 inch hub face to hub face measurement that does not have spring seats welded on. The ones we offer do have the spring seats welded on at 74 inches apart. That said, if you need spring seats at a measurement different than the 74 inch spacing you can have new ones welded on with the Spring Seat # TRSS238. We don't have two axle kits with suspension but there are a couple options for 89 inch, 3,500 lb axles with hub and...

• Replacement 3,500 lbs Axle w/ a 86-1/2" Hub Face
  Hey Bob, thanks for the information. It looks like you have a 3,500 lbs axle with a 86.5" hub face and a 68.5" spring seat. The only axle I have with a 86.5" hub face is the 5,200 lbs Capacity Trailer Axle Beam with Easy Grease Spindles item # e45GR. It only works with 6 on 5-1/2 lug pattern hubs though like item # AKHD-655-6-EZ-K. The closest 3,500 lbs axle I have to a 86.5" hub face measurement is the 89" Dexter Trailer Axle Beam item # T3584F-8974. This axle is going to stick out an...

• Replacement 3,500 lb Axle With 4" Drop
  Hi Robert; you will need your hub face measurement to find the right replacement axle. See the video attached below which explains how to measure. We have the 89" # e53GR or 95" # e83GR with the 4" drop. Since your spring center measurement is shorter you would also have to cut off the spring seats and weld on # TRSS238 to match what you have now. We don't have an option that comes with 5 on 5-1/2 hubs. However, you can add the Easy Grease Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for 3.5K Axles #...

• Can Underslung Trailer Axle be Installed as Overslung
  Hey Shane, so the axles we offer like the part # e43SR are designed to be underslung. That means the spring perch is on top of the axle tube. If trailer axles were totally straight this wouldn't be a problem as you could just flip the axle over but they are designed with a bow in them that faces down so if you were to flip the axle the alignment would be way off. So to use this axle in an overslung configuration you'd need to weld on new spring seats on the other side of the axle like with...

• Replacement Axle, Hubs, and Brakes for a ShorLandr Dual Axle Trailer
  Hey Dave, thanks for all the information. Sounds like you're really in a box here. You're going to have to move the spring seats regardless if you replace the axle because none of ours are in the same 70" position. To get more clearance though for a taller tire, I am curious are your axles currently mounted below your springs or above them? If you replaced your axles with two of the Trailer Axle Beam with Easy Grease Spindles item # e38GR and mounted them below your springs you would...

• Availability Of Over-Under Kit Or Lift Kit For Dexter 2,200 lb Axle
  Hello Tyler, thanks for reaching out. The 2,200 lb axles are generally a 1-3/4" tube diameter and I am sorry to say we do not offer an over-under kit for this. At this time we only offer kits for 2-3/8" diameter # K71-384-00 and 3" diameter # K71-385-00 axles. We do offer a lift kit that can be used with really any double eye leaf spring suspension, the Correct Track Trailer Alignment and Lift Kit # LC87120. This provides 1-1/4" of lift. Or if you get two kits, it can do 2-1/4" of lift.

• 3,500LB Trailer Axle With 5 on 4-1/2" Bolt Pattern & 4" Drop With Electric Brakes 81" Spring Center
  Based on your hubs it sounds like you have a 3,500lb axle since you have the 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern. It sounds like the Trailer Axle # e45SR is the size you are needing. This has a hub face spread of 95" and the spring seats are 80" on center. These can be removed and new Seats # TRSS238 welded on to the 81" measurement you need which will prevent the additional cost and wait if special ordering an axle.

• Replacing A 3.5K Trailer Axle With 4" Drop, 95" Hub Face and 78-1/4" Spring Center
  We have two options that will be very close to your specification, options that very well may work for you, but will not be an exact match. The first option is the etrailer Trailer Axle Beam # e95GR. This has the 3.5K capacity 4" drop and 95" hub face that you are looking for. The spring center on this axle is 79-1/4". What we would do is sell you two loose spring seats # TRSS238. You would need to take the axle to a welder and have them remove the spring seats and weld the new ones on...

• Replacement for Lippert 3500 Lb Axle
  You have a Lippert 3500 lb axle with 10 inch brake assemblies/hub drums. We can't order custom axles, but we do offer a Dexter # 7359765-EB off-the-shelf axle that's very similar, the only difference is that the leaf spring seat center to center distances don't match exactly. This isn't necessarily a big deal, as it's pretty simple to use two replacement spring seats # TRSS238 and to have them tack welded on a 75 inch center. If the existing 80 inch spring seats interfere with the installation,...

• How to Find Replacement Axle for Hurricane HUR 2178 Boat Trailer
  Finding a replacement axle will require measuring your current axle. Specifically, the hub face to hub face measurement. I would say based on the GVWR it is a 3,500 lb axle. It could possibly be a 3,000 lb axle depending on what they figured for tongue weight, but that would be obsolete so you're looking at 3,500 lbs either way. We only have two length options for 3,500 lb axles so I'll list them below. If you switch from a 3k axle you will also need new hubs. You can choose from the following:...

• Can the Lippert Trailer Shock Kit be Used with the Dexter Over-Under Conversion Kit?
  The Lippert Components Bolt-On Shock Kit w/ Heavy Duty Gas Shocks - 3,500-lb (2-3/8") Axle # LC281255 is compatible with the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit # K71-384-00. This over-under kit If you have 3 inch axles ( lbs) then you will use # K71-385-00 and # LC281281. The over-under kit will give you the spring seat locations needed but will give you parts that the Lippert shock kit will duplicate. If you want to weld on spring seats, you can use # TRSS300 or # TRSS238...

• Identifying Dexter Axle Marked P-11 With 70 Inch Spring Center Measurement
  The P-11 on your Dexter axle indicates the plant number it was manufactured at. If you can find a serial number on your axle tag that could be used to identify the axle through Dexter. If not then there are other ways to find a replacement axle. If you have the capacity of the axle listed on the axle tag that is a good place to start. If not, you could use the diameter of your axle to determine the capacity. See the list below. Once you have the capacity you will also need to know the...

• Dexter Replacement 3,500LB Axle With 89 Hub Face, 70 Spring Center and 4 Drop Spindle
  The Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with 4" Drop E-Z Lube Spindles # 8327812 is going to be the closest to the Dexter axle you described. This axle has a 89" hub face to hub face measurement with a 4" drop spindle and underslung design. The axle is rated for 3,500lbs and the spring seats on the axle measure 74". You can weld on some new Spring Seats # TRSS238 to the 70" measurement that you are needing. I do recommend new U-Bolts # APUBR-1 as your current bolts will likely have corrosion. Two...

• Solution for Replacement Hub on 1993 Ranger Trail Trailer With L68149 Inner and Outer Bearing
  A # L68149 inner and outer bearing is not a standard combination. Your # 010-180-00 is also not a very common grease seal. Unfortunately, there are no replacement hubs available that match this combination. The first thing I would do is verify that they are in fact # L68149 bearings. The part number may be stamped on the side, or you can measure the inner diameter using a digital caliper like the # PTW80157. Assuming that is correct, since there are no replacement hubs available the best...

• Replacing A Dexter P-29 Axle Made Around 1999
  I reached out to my contact at Dexter for more information on this axle. I was told that the axle tag is too old, and they no longer have information available on these axles. I very well may have an axle that will replace yours. I would need to confirm a few specs with you first. Since we do not carry any 2,800 lb axles, I would be looking at a 3,500 lb axle as a replacement. We would want to know the overall length of the current axle, measured across from hub face to hub face. The...

• Is 76" Spring-Center Measurement Abnormal for 95" Wide Trailer Axle
  That does make sense. We don't have an exact replacement for your application but if you check out the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with 4" Drop E-Z Lube Spindles # 7685269 you can see that it has 95" hub-face and 80" spring-center measurements. Since the hub-face and spring-center measurements can vary from trailer to trailer and yours are fairly close to one that we carry (we only carry a few of the very popular options) I wouldn't say that's abnormal. Even though the spring-center of this...

• Recommended Bolt On Hangers For Aluminum Frame Trailer
  Since you've got an aluminum frame trailer, I understand why you're looking for a bolt on solution. The only available bolt on hangers we have available would be the # CE14017G and # CE14016G but they are designed for slipper springs and not double-eye springs like # e77SR you were looking at. If you went this route you would want to use something like the # SP-040275 as your springs, which have a 3700-lbs capacity. This would be the best solution available for your new aluminum trailer,...

• Recommended Replacement 3,500 Lbs Dexter Axle With A 86.5 Hub Face Measurement
  I do have an option that will work for you, but the closest we can come to a standard axle with the same measurements you provided is the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with EZ-Lube Spindles - 89" Long - 3,500 lbs, part # T3584F-EZ-8974. The hub face measurement is 89", which will add 2-1/2" in length to your axle. The spring center measurement is 74", so you would have to remove your current spring seats and replace them with part # TRSS238, which would be welded in the correct place. You can...
