Capacity of Trailer Axle that Measures 1-3/4 inches in Diameter
Question:
I have a 12 foot by 6 foot double axle trailer. The tires are a load B rated 4.80 x 12 inch tires. I pulled the worn axle sticker off the axle and it is a LaSalle Deitch axle, 1 3/4 inches in diameter. The serial # is 208920. Would you know the carrying capacity for these axles. Also, would it be advantageous to go to a 4 lug 13 inch tires for better stability at high speeeds 55 mph.

Helpful Expert Reply:
Based on the diameter of your axle you most likely have a 2,000 lb axle capacity. So 4,000 lb since it's a tandem axle trailer.
Upgrading to a 13 inch wheel and tire like the part # AM3S030 would be a great option as long as you have the room for the additional height of 24.1 inches.
