Can 6k Trailer Axle Hub/Drum Fit on 5.2k Trailer Axle
Updated 03/02/2026 | Published 02/28/2026
Question:
Good day. Can I use this hub on my Lippert 5200lb axle that uses the LM67048/LM67010 bearing set as a direct swap? Looks like the only difference is 800lbs.

Hey Matt, since the 5.2k and 6k axles use the same spindle size you can use a 6k hub/drum like the part # K08-201-9B in place of what you have now and it would work great. What trailer do you have?
