Question:
Can you use 3500 lbs hubs on 6000 lbs axle. My trailer current has two 3500 lbs axel. One is damaged. I have and old RV with 6000 lbs axels of sane length and want know if i can just replace 3500 lbs with a 6000. Problem ia the number lugs are different on both axles. So i want know if i may be able to just replace the axels and swap over the hubs.

Expert Reply:
Your 6,000lb axle is going to have a larger tube and diameter spindle so there is no way to move your hubs from your 3,500lb axle. We do have replacement 3,500lb axles without hubs you can use to replace your current axle. Here is a list of the sizes we currently carry.
89" Axle # e38GR
95" Axle # 7359765
