Question:

I have a trailer that is homemade with manufactured home axles with electric brakes. At this point I have looked everywhere and cannot find any break replacement parts to fix the current axles. I found axles on your website that fit my current axles but my axles are overslung and your axles are underslung. Can I take your underslung axles and put them below my leaf springs in an overslung configuration with an adapter of some sort, or is there another solution?

Expert Reply:

You can absolutely use the Dexter Trailer Axle w/ Electric Brakes # 8327820-EB and put them below your leaf springs. What you need to do is use the Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit # K71-385-00, so long as you have double-eye leaf springs; which will then be on top of the axle like you wanted.
