Hey Lee, so in reality you may not ever have an issue using different Load Ranges on a trailer but it's really not recommended as the tires will have to have different PSIs which could in theory create ride issues.

Answer 1

Your tire has a diameter of 26.3 inches and is approximately 8 inches wide, and the smallest tire the tan cover #B6102904 was designed to fit has a diameter of 28 inches and is nearly 9 inches wide, so it may be a bit loose, but it should still fit.…

Hey Al, Since your Dexter #9919860 is a 3,500lb axle you'll need grease seals #RG06-050 which come as a pair. I'd get 3 pairs (6 seals) that way you have an extra incase one goes in funky and bends (I've repacked hundreds of hubs and it…

I can see in your attached picture that your tire size is ST205/75-14 which is a very common size and would mean that you would need a 14 inch trailer wheel with a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern like the Aluminum Liger Wheel part #LH84FR or any of the…

A TruRyde rvd-h-865 7k hub/drum like # AKHD-865-7-2-K uses 1/2-inch drive-in studs that are 1-5/16-inches long. For a replacement stud you can use #165981. This is slightly longer at 1-1/2-inches but it has the same 1/2-inch diameter. They are also…

I was able to look up your previous order and find that your Dexter Axle came with the Inner bearing #L68149 and outer bearing #L44649. A great replacement kit for these bearing numbers is the #BK2-100, it will include the inner and outer bearing and…

Answer 10

A ST205/75R14 trailer tire is going to have a diameter of about 26.3" and a width of 8.1" when inflated. If we go up to a 15", the ST205/75R15 tires are about 27.3" in diameter and 8.1" wide. So, they have the same width, but…

Answer 11

Hey Steve, like most trailer wheels the Aluminum Margay Trailer Wheel #LH34VR that you referenced has a zero offset. Unless otherwise noted you can basically assume that all trailer wheels have a zero offset.
