Question:
I have a trailer in need of an axle. Trailer is very old. It measures 66 inches wide. No more than 3500 lb needed. What axle do I need? Thanks, Robert.

Robert, it looks like the closest axle we have to that measurement is the Dexter Trailer Idler Axle Beam with EZ-Lube Spindles # T20BTR-EZ-6048 which is 60" long and has a 2,200 lb capacity.
I'd suggest remeasuring your axle following the instructions in the FAQ I've attached and verifying if your axle is actually 66" long.

Hey Robert, did you get a chance to remeasure your trailer axle to confirm the length? Once you have that number, it’ll be easier to match you with the right axle. Let me know what you find—I’m here if you need a hand narrowing it down.
