Thank you for the information but I need more details to help you because Dexter has several torsion axle options. To determine the right trailer hubs, you will need to know your axle capacity. The easiest way to find this out is to look for a plate/sticker somewhere on the axle that provides information like part numbers, lengths, axle capacity.
If you can not find a label then find the size of your axle tube: Round with 1-3/4 inch diameter=2,000-lb axles, Round with 2-3/8 inch diameter=3,500-4,400-lb axle, Round with 3 inch diameter=7,000-lb axle.
Next, determine the bolt pattern so we can narrow down hub options.
Finally, find the size of bearings by either finding the stamped part number on the bearing or by measuring them with a digital caliper like Item # PTW80157. Measure the spindle at the inner and outer bearing seats.
After you have found out this information, send it to me and I can make specific recommendations.
I have attached links with additional information and videos for you to check out that will help.
