Unfortunately Hans, we do not have an over under kit specific to mobile home axles as they were designed to be used to get the mobile home to where it needs to be and thrown away after they were done. Several people saw these as a cheap opportunity to get an axle and make home made trailers. But none of the trailer manufacturers provide support parts for them. You're only real option would be to weld on some new spring seats but again as it is an uncommon diameter tube we do not have an exact seat that would fit. We have a 2-3/8" Seat # TRSS238 and then a 3" Seat # TRSS300 as those are the closest common axle diameters. You would have to modify one of these or create your own to fit the axle.

Thank you for your reply. I have one more question. I’d like to do a conversion kit. What kit would I need to change hubs to 8x6.5 wheels with brakes?

@HansS We do not have a conversion kit for mobile home axles to make them an 8 on 6-1/2" since they were never intended for long term use. You would want to look at a new axle or having a different Spindle # TRU37FR welded onto the axle tube. Then you would be able to switch to a different hub with the 8 on 6-1/2" bolt pattern. You may wish to consult with a local trailer manufacturer/service shop who has an axle jig to ensure the spindle gets welded on properly.
