How to Pick Out the Correct Replacement Axles

Updated 09/07/2023 | Published 09/03/2023

Question:

I was given a trailer that has Agriculture axles on it. Has the 8 on 8 lug pattern. Is there any manufacturers that make a brake kit for this pattern. Did not want to have to buy new axles if not needed. Thanks

An 8 on 8 is pretty unheard of and as far as I was able to find, there were no brake kits for it. I know you're not wanting to change your axles out, but this is going to be your only option.

I'd love to help you pick out a replacement, but before that I am going to need to know what you're working with first.

I'll need to know the capacity, and you'll need to measure from the center of the hub face to the center of the opposite hub face, as well as the distance between the center of the spring seats shown below.
