We offer beam axles and also axle kits that include hubs, bearings and other components. You can view our main page for 89-inch trailer axles using the link provided. The 89-inch dimension is taken from one hub face to the other hub face; these axles have 74-inch spring centers.
All our 89-inch axles like # T3584F-EZ-8974 are rated for 3500-lbs. You'll want to check your axle's safety sticker to confirm you match it's weight carrying capacity.
If you want to use your existing hubs you'll want to make sure they use the same bearings as the hubs that fit on the new axle you choose. For instance, the axle # T3584F-EZ-8974 has spindles that accept hubs that use inner bearing # L68149 and outer bearing # L44649, such as hub # 84546UC3-EZ.
