Question:

Im looking for a dexter replacement axle. Im in need of a 60inch hub face to Hub face rated at 3500 lbs. and I was curious if these were available through your website. I would like to use a 5 on 5.5inch hub bolt pattern code number 84555UC1 because this bolt pattern matches my trailer rims currently.

We do offer 60-inch replacement trailer axles from Dexter and both can be seen on the link provided. Note that both of these are rated for 2000-lbs. The 5-on-5-1/2-inch hub you referenced, part # 84555UC1, is intended for 3500-lb axles.

The most important measurements for selecting a replacement axle are the hub face-to-hub face measurement (taken with the hubs in place) and the spring center-to-spring-center distance. Please refer to the linked photo.

For example, Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with Standard Spindles, part # T20BTR-6048, is a 60-inch axle with standard spindles rated at 2000-lbs, and has a 48-inch spring center-to-spring center length, 1-3/4-inch outer diameter and 1-1/16-inch spindle size. We have no 60-inch axles rated higher than 2000-lbs and none that come complete with 5-on-5-1/2-inch hubs.
