Hey Mark, to pick out replacement axles we need a few pieces of info to make sure we get you the right ones. We need the distance from hub face to hub face on your current axle as well as the distance between the spring seat centers. With that we can see what axles would fit as well as what capacities we have available too.

You should keep in mind that we can't get every axle configuration so there's change you'll have to source them from a local trailer shop. I attached a link to all of the axles we carry though.

Hi Jameson, Sorry it's taken so long to get the info you requested. My axles are 95" face to face. The center of springs is 80" . I would like a quote to upgrade my axles . I currently have two 3000# axles, without brakes & 15" wheels, I would like to upgrade to the heaviest ones I can with limited modifications. Can u advise the best most cost effective upgrade available? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Have a blessed day.

@MarkH We have a few axles that are the correct dimensions for what you need. Do you know what wheel bolt pattern you have? I am sure we have a solution but I would need to know if you have a 5, 6, or 8 lug bolt pattern. Realistically it's most likely 5 or 6. I attached a link to a page that has all of the axles we offer that match your specs. The capacity range is from 3,500 - 7,000 lb.

@JamesonC Thank you for the info. My current wheel pattern is 5 lugs. I want to go to 6 lug. Like THE etrailer coded #e35SR. Can u provide me with a quote for 2 axles with springs,bolts & 6 lug wheels & tires . Package deal?

@MarkH Good deal! Yeah the part # e35SR is a really solid choice for an axle that matches what you need. It comes with a 6 lug bolt pattern like you mentioned so for a wheel and tire you could go with something like the # LHAW124 which is a 225/75R15 on a silver wheel. For a 6k leaf spring the part # e34SR is the most popular size of 25-1/4 inches. For u-bolts you'd want the part # CE23003 which matches the diameter of the axles. Do you need hangers as well? I also don't have ability to put together a quote but if you hit add to cart on all of the part numbers I mentioned you'd be able to get a price total.
