Info Needed to Pick Out Trailer Axles for Airstream Safari 25SS
Published 11/08/2023
Question:
I’m pricing out new axles for my 2006 Airstream Safari 25SS. I read there are some units made with 6000lb axles and others with 7000lb. My GVWR is 7300lb and my VIN is 1STCPYJ226J518560 if that helps. I’m not sure where to start

We don't have a way to look up exactly what axle you need based on what you listed but we can still help.
When picking out an axle for a trailer you'll need to know the overall length of it from hub face to hub face as well as the distance between the spring seat centers to pick out correct size. You'd also need to know the capacity. Based on your GVWR 6k or 7k axles would easily work fine.
I also attached a link to a page with all of the axles we carry.
