Updated 09/11/2024 | Published 09/09/2024

Question:

I have this Dexter Axle 05-AX106IS-04 on my cargo trailer. It has a 4 inch . I wanting to add a straight axel with springs to help lift it some. I feel the axle and springs are to low to the ground. Do you have any recommendations for me that would fit my cargo trailer? Thank you

Hi James; is that a 4" drop or lift you're referring to? Or something else? It looks like it was cut off so I'm not sure. Also, I can't identify your current axle without the S/N from the tag. If you can get me that information and add it below in the comments I will be able to find the capacity as well as the length.

If it already has a lift the only option we have that might get you the extra clearance is the Timbren Axle-Less like the # ASR3500S06. This system would replace the leaf springs and axle. This particular model is designed to replace a 3,500 lb axle and fits any frame width. It may require an additional support which would be like a straight axle and still give you some additional clearance.

@James ok I was able to decipher it from that information. You need a 3,500 lb axle that is 84" long. We don't carry that length so the only thing I could offer is the universal system above. It is not an uncommon size so you will be able to find one if you search the internet for 84" 3,500 lb axle. Any standard axle that matches the length and capacity will get you the clearance as long as it doesn't have the 4" drop you have now. The leaf springs you have are 26" long and rated for a 3,500 lb axle (1,750 lbs each spring). You will also want to match this capacity and length for replacement leaf springs.
