Question:
Good Afternoon, Im looking for some replacement axles. Im trying to replace a 3.5k LCI axle with a 4.2/5k axle but Im not sure exactly what to get. Current axle: LCI35-94.5-73,5-nosp-US-L-545-7242-18PT-3 Im guessing from the number Im looking for a replacement with 94.5 Hub face and 73.5 spring centers. If you sell beams only I can put the spring pads where they need to go but Ive only seen 95 axles on your site. Would a 95 hub face axle work? Also, is the 3 in the above number representing the ? Will the amount of needed change with a higher rated axle/larger axle tube? Thank you, Benton Asbury

Benton, the closest replacement axle we have is the Trailer Axle w/ Electric Brakes # e55SR. This axle has a 95" hub face to hub face measurement, has a 5.2k capacity, and includes the electric brake assemblies, hubs, drums, bearings, races, seals, and mounting hardware.
As you mentioned, the spring seats will need to be re-welded in their correct spots, otherwise this will work as a great replacement.

For some reason every instance of the word "Drop" was removed from my first message as well as my apostrophes and quotations. I am looking for a drop axle that will put the trailer at around the same height as it was originally.
