Question

Question:

I know the overall thickness is 3inches but what is the thickness of the axle walls for lack of better terminology. Also my spring seats are not 80 inches are these already welded on or can I weld them on.

The wall thickness of the tubing of the Dexter Axle part # 7461121 you referenced is .16 inch. This axle comes with the spring seats welded on at 80 inches but you could move them to match what your trailer needs.

I can give you a pretty good idea based on the dimensions of the spindle. Based on the dimensions you listed you have an 84 spindle which would mean you have between a 2,000 and 3,500 lb axle. If the hub is a 6 lug hub then it would be 3,500 most…

Answer 12

As I do not see that we currently have a trailer axle with a 93" hub face to hub face you are going to be best to have the brake flange welded in place. To ensure this is done properly you will want to find a trailer shop with a jig to ensure…
