Question:
Just bought a tri axle gooseneck trailer. It currently has three mobile home style axles under it. When I bought it, it came with 4 Dexter 7k hyd disc brake axles. The Dexter axles spring perches are a little wider. I would like to change all of the spring hangers and equalizers. I have double eyelet springs. Is there a kit you would recommend that will work with 3 7k axles?

Expert Reply:
We do have a variety of spring hangers you can use for a 7K triple axle system, and or that I recommend the Triple-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit # APTT5 which will space your axles 34" apart on center (see attached photo) and is compatible with 1-3/4" wide leaf springs like the 7K 6-Leaf Double-Eye Spring # e64SR.
You'll need to have your current hangers cut off and this new kit welded on for the installation.
You can use your current axles but I will say that mobile home axles are only designed for a one-time use so it would be best to replace your axles with standard axles for best performance. If you let me know what your hub face and spring center measurements are I can make a recommendation for you, although I do understand any hesitation to replace all of your axles.

You mentioned APTT5 kit for my needs. Is there any kits that include greaseable spring bolts?

So with the parts you are suggesting, I would have to order all the suspension components separate? The hangers #28-5 the shackles MR86ZR which says it is for a triple axle but only comes with 12 shackles straps. I would need 16 straps. I would also need the equalizers? MR86ZR 12 Shackle straps 12 Wet bolts (for attaching the springs to your equalizers) 10 Wet bolts (for suspending your equalizers and springs from the hangers) 22 Bronze bushings (for spring eyes and equalizer bolt holes) 22 Locknuts APTT5 (16) 2-5/8" Long shackle straps (24) 3" Long x 9/16" diameter shackle bolts (24) 9/16" Diameter locknuts

My plan is to replace the current mobile home axles with three of the Dexter axles. I know it is going to be a bit of work. In the long run I will have a great trailer for my hauling needs. Thank you for your help
