I do have replacement options for you but we don't carry torsion axles which I assume is what you have so the best option we can offer you is an axle-less like system the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension part # ASR3500S04 which also has a built-in drop like your existing. It has a 3,500 lb weight capacity but there's several other variations if this isn't what you need, just check the list below. These systems are great because they provide much better ground clearance and ride quality due to the independent design.

The least amount of fab work option would be to reach out to a custom axle maker like Dexter and get one made to your exact specifications but this will not be cheap.

Hey Mike. We only have axles with 58" spring seats like the Trailer Axle with Idler Hubs item #e37YR. You can remove the spring seats and reinstall the Spring Seat for Typical 2,000-lb, Round Trailer Axles item #TRSS175 so they are a 1/4"…

No, they're different systems Brain. Any hub can be used for the Vault lubrication system so long as the hub bore matches the diameter of the cap. An Easy Grease Hub Assembly like item #AKIHUB-545-35-G-EZ-K has an open ended grease cap to access…

Hi there, I understand the frustration square axles can make things a little trickier. At this time, we don’t carry an over under kit specifically designed for square or rectangular axles. That said, you can still gain lift by flipping the axle…

Hey Gene! Those don't quite look like 10" brake assemblies but I can't say for sure from the picture. If you have a 3,500 lb axle with #L68149 inner and #L44649 outer bearings than the DeeMaxx Disc Brake Kit #DE66YR will work. If that is…

Hey Dan, We have a few 26" trailer leaf springs available, but none that match the 3,500 pound rating you're needing. If your existing leaf springs are pretty old, it's very possible they stretched a bit over time, meaning you actually…

Hey Artie, When it comes to leaf springs it's best to match the capacity of both springs to the capacity of the axle. You can go a bit higher in spring capacity to prevent sagging but there's a fine line where too much capacity can cause a…

Answer 8

There is no exact way to determine the leaf spring length. The best way to determine the length for a replacement is by measuring the existing leaf springs. The hanger distance and shackle length can help you get a good idea, but you're looking…

Answer 9

Hey Jason, it's pretty common for replacement leaf springs to be slightly shorter than what they replace as springs tend to stretch/flatten overtime as they wear out so while you are on the right track 3/4 of an inch is a bit too much of a…

Answer 10

Trailer leaf springs come in many different lengths and some may have the same capacity but different measurements and/or number of leaves. This is due to different configurations of trailers, axle spacing, and tire size. Ideally you would use the…

Answer 11

I'd be happy to help, but I need to know the capacity of your axle, if you have brakes, and the bolt pattern. The easiest way to get this information is on the axle tag which is located on the center of the axle beam, so sending me a picture of…

The O-rings of the #DX52UR goes between the covers and the hub and the zerk fitting is a replacement if needed. We don't have ability to make a video for this quite yet though.
