Question:
Hi, Im looking for a spring over axle kit for a 5x8 utility trailer. Axle is round and measures 1 5/8 diameter. I havent been able find a kit for an axle this size. Please let me know if you have such a kit. Thanks

Expert Reply:
Since nobody makes a kit for axles smaller than 2-3/8" diameter you will have to put it together. You also want to double check that axle diameter. More than likely it is the standard 1-3/4" and not 1-5/8". You will need to have a certified welder add a spring seat on top of the axle on either side using # TRSS175. Once this is done, you can use # CE23000 to complete the conversion.
