The Dexter Trailer Axle item # 8327826-EB is a 6,000 lbs capacity axle. The Dexter Trailer Axle item # 8327816-EB is only rated up to 5,200 lbs.

This won't matter because they both come with hubs and brakes but the item # 8327826-EB uses a outer bearing item # 15123 (1.25" inner diameter) where item # 8327816-EB uses a item # LM67048 outer bearing.

Other than those two differences they are identical in every way. I recommend going with the less expensive option.
