Can I Use Dexter Components on Lippert Axles and Vice Versa?
Published 10/18/2019
Question:
i see where the smaller axle componets interchange between dexter and lippert axles. What about the larger 10k and above?

You're not going to have any problems mixing Dexter and Lippert components on trailer axles over 10k-lbs in the same manner as below 10k-lbs as long as the measurements on the replacement parts are the same- i.e. bearing sizes are the same, etc.. This happens quite often in our shop repairs where we'll use Dexter Brakes like the # 23-408-409 on a Lippert Axle.
When doing this, as mentioned above, you will want to make sure that you're using the correct capacity components with parts that match their applications- like using hubs with bearings that match the spindles on the axle, but as long as this is matched, you will be able to use the two companies' components interchangeably.
