Replacement Trailer Axle for a 5x10 Utility Trailer

Question:

Great thank you, can you also recommend the leaf springs and u bolts to go with that axle? 52 inches bolt to bolt and 2 1/2” wide,

Unfortunately, we do not have any hubs that match the dimensions you provided. The only other option I have for you at this time would be to replace the axle. If you can provide me with the hub face to hub face and spring center to spring center measurement, I can go about trying to find a replacement axle for you.

For your 5x10 utility trailer, I recommend the Dexter Trailer Axle part # 20545I-ST-72-15 which has a 72" hub face to hub face and 58" spring center to spring center measurement. It has a 2,000 lbs capacity and comes with the correct hubs for your wheel/tire combo part # TTWA14RWS. I have attached a review video of the above axle for you as well.

A 52" long leaf spring is quite unheard of especially on a single axle 5x10 utility trailer. In order to replace the leaf springs you are also going to have to get new hangers which will not be a huge deal since you are already replacing the axle. For this, I recommend using part # SP-169275 for the leaf springs (2), part # APS4 for the hanger kit, and part # APUBR-10 for the u-bolts. I am sure this was much more work than you were expecting but you will have a completely brand new suspension once completed.
