Question:

I have a 2012 Gatormade 16 foot lowboy trailer and need to find a new axel. From the measurements I get, it is a 95 Hub x 80 1/4 Spring Center. do you have anything compatible.

Expert Reply:

You will need the Dexter 3,500LB Trailer Axle w/ Electric Brakes # 7359765-EB to replace your axle on your 2012 Gatormade 16' lowboy trailer. According to the measurements(95" hub, 80-1/4" spring center) you provided as well as the information I could find this is the same axle the manufacturer installed with the electric brakes. The 1/4" difference on the spring center is likely a combination of tolerances and the axle loosing the slight curve and as it straightened got slightly longer.

I recommend getting the CE Smith U-Bolt Kit # CE23002 for mounting the axle since your original U-Bolts are most likely going to be damaged as well.
