HAVE A DEXTER AXLE P-15 MODEL SLR. IS THAT ENOUGH INFO FOR YOU TO TELL ME WHAT AXLE I NEED.

The P-15 model information you provided for your Dexter axle does indicate its model, but you will still need to note its length and capacity before locating the correct replacement. If you are able to find a longer serial number somewhere on the axle, this might be more helpful in determining the exact axle you have on your trailer.

Otherwise, I recommend measuring the hub-face-to-hub-face length, along with the spring-center-to-spring-center length on your axle. Its weight capacity should also be listed somewhere on the axle itself. For example, the Dexter Trailer Axle w/ Electric Brakes # 35545E-ST-89 that you were looking at features a hub face length of 89 inches, a spring center length of 74 inches, and a capacity of 3,500 pounds. I have attached an image that also clarifies these dimensions.

I have included a link that will take you to our available selection of trailer axles that you can look through once you determine the above information.
