Question:

Hello, I need to replace 3500 lbs Rockwell with brakes, measurements seem like it would work fine, but my question is will this axle accept Rockwell bearings and brakes? Thank you.

Expert Reply:

The 3.5K 95" Long Trailer Axle Beam with Easy Grease Spindles # e68GR is compatible with the following bearings and seal:

- Inner Bearing L68149
- Outer Bearing L44649
- Seal 58846 (Inner Diameter 1.719")

If your current hub/drums use these bearings and have this inner diameter for the seal then what you have is compatible with this axle.

The Trailer Axle w/ Electric Brakes # e52SR is a great alternative kit if your bearings and seal don't match. This is the same exact axle but it comes with the brakes and hub/drums that match so you know everything will work together.
