Expert Reply:

Starting with the axles, we do not carry any galvanized axles in the dimension you are needing. You may consider taking the axles you already have and having them galvanized at a local facility as long as they are not otherwise damaged. While we do not carry sealed hubs like the Vortex we do have a Stainless Hub # KH42655S. You will need a Inner Bearing # 25580, Outer Bearing # 15123 and Grease Seal # GS-2250DL(2.25" ID) or # GS-2125DL(2.125" ID) for each hub. The Bearing Buddy # BB2441SS will provide 2 stainless steel caps which will allow you to press grease into the hubs to ensure they are filled.

The Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2R526S will provide you with a set of stainless steel rotors, calipers and mounting brackets with hardware for your 6,000LB axle. For this you will need either a Surge # DM62VR type actuator or a Electric Over Hydraulic # HS481-8067 type actuator. From the actuator you will need a brake line kit. We have one with a 15' Main Line # HS496-151 or 25' Main Line # HS496-251 for a single axle trailer.
