Hey Jeffrey, if the axle you have now is between a 2,000 lb and a 2,700 lb rating then yes you could go down to the 10 inch size but if it's a 3,500 or higher then it wouldn't be possible.

@JeffreyS If you look at the axle there should be a sticker on it that has the axle capacity. That's typically the most reliable place to check. With the model info of the trailer that can work too.

@JamesonC sticker disintegrated. Shorelandr said contact dealer. Don’t buy from Shorlandr. Simple question they couldn’t answer

@JeffreyS That's a bummer to hear. So there's still a way to determine what you have though. If you pull a hub and use a caliper to measure the spindles where the bearings ride or get the bearing numbers out of the hub we can figure it out from there.
