Question:

Hi, Could I use this kit with a 2 3/8 axle I see the sizes are listed for 3inch axle but I have 2 - 2 3/8 axles that i am looking to mount on a trailer that needs the extra clearance and also needs the height to level out the trailer.

Expert Reply:

You can use the Tandem-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit # APT5 for your trailer with the 2-3/8 inch axle. A 2-3/8 inch diameter axle is typically found on 3,500 pound axles which is within the range of this kit (2,000 to 7,000 pound axles). The measurements in the chart on the page can be used as a guide.

A better option for a 2-3/8 inch axle is kit # APT3, # AP233-H248, or # APT1. It all depends on the axle spacing, spring measurements, and equalizer length.
