Question:

I need two 6000 lb axles with 89 hub face and 68.5 underslung spring seats. Do you have them and what is the link? I found 74 spring seats but no other options.

Hey Val. Our Trailer Axle Beam with Easy Grease Spindles item # e23GR is going to be the best option for a 6,000 lbs capacity axle that's 89" long. We don't have any axles with a 68.5" spring seat so you'll need to have a welder install two of the Spring Seats item # TRSS300 per axle to attach the axle to your suspension. The spindles fit item # 25580 inner and item # 15123 outer bearings.

You'll also need a set of the U-Bolt Kit for Mounting 5,200-lb to 7,000-lb, Round Trailer Axles item # APUBR-8 for each axle. U-bolts aren't meant to be torqued down more than once so if you're replacing a pair of axles or building a trailer you'll need these.

What kind of trailer do you have and what are you needing two 6,000 lbs axles for?

It's a new 8000 lb bumper pull camper with two 3500 lb axles. Seems they'll always be at the max or overloaded which I strongly dislike so am thinking of upgrading to bigger brakes and bearings. Biggest concern is space for tires.

@ValM That makes sense. How much space do you currently have between the bottom of your fender and the top of your tires?

@JerredH I have about 3 1/2" between the tire and the body with st205/75r14 tires. 16" to center of axle. I own two 8k axles that would be drop in, but finding a 15" rim with a 8 on 6.5 pattern has proven difficult. If I had that rim and a 225/75r15 tire I think I'd be in good shape without buying new axles but ..... The same tire and rim combination will be needed for a 6k axle as well. Either way I need bigger rims and small tires.

@ValM Yeah we do not have a 15" rim with a 8 on 6-1/2 bolt pattern. The closest size we have is ST235/75R16 like item # KE28JV. It would 3.7" bigger in diameter than your current st205/75r14 tires so you'd have no room.
