Question:

I AM ATTEMPTING TO REPLACE AN AXLE UNDER A CONSESSION TRAILER. THE TUBE HAS A 2 1/2 DIAMETER, THE AXLE CENTER TO CENTER IS 76 - THE TOTAL LENGHT FACE TO FACE IS 95. IT HAS A 4" DROP WITH ELECTRICA BRAKES. I DIDNT SEE YOU WITH THOSE DEMENTIONS ON THE PAGE.

Expert Reply:

With your axle being a 2-1/2" diameter it sounds like you will need either our etrailer Axle # e45SR or the Dexter # 7685269-EB. Both of these are 3,500lb axles with the 4" drop a 95" hub face and electric brakes included. You will only need to have 2 new Spring Seats # TRSS238 welded on the axle at the 76" spring center you are needing. The current spring seats are welded from the factory at 80" but you are able to move them as not all trailers will have the same measurements.

I do recommend getting a new U-Bolt Kit # CE23002 when you replace the axle as the old bolts are typically damaged when removed if they have been on for an extended period of time.
