You can change from a 3000 lb axle to a 3500 lb axle. We have the Dexter Trailer Axle with Idler Hubs - 5 on 4-1/2 Bolt Pattern - 89" Long - 3,500 lbs, # 35545I-ST-89 or the Trailer Axle w/ Electric Brakes - EZ-Lube - 5 on 4-1/2 Bolt Pattern - 89" - 3,500 lbs, # e43SR. The biggest measurements to consider are the hub face to hub face and the spring center to spring center measurements for compatibility.

The axle under the springs is what is called and over-under. If you need this kit, the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit, # K71-384-00, will get you the new hardware for your axle diameter.
