86-1/2 Inch Long Axle Option For Grand Design Trailer
Question:
I need to replace the spring axles on my 2018 Grand Design Imagine 2500RL. Current axles: Dexter 7665876 HF = 86.50 SC = 68.50 3500lb It seems the spring centers value is a weird one? What do you recommend? Thanks.

Hi there Andy; thanks for that info, and while we don't have 3,500 lb axles that are 86-1/2 inches long, we do have a 5,200 lb option with the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam # 8327816.
The spring center you mention is an odd one, as the # 8327816 has 71-1/2" spring centers. What you can do if you like is have new spring seats welded on at the appropriate 68-1/2" distance. For that you'd need a pair of Spring Seat # TRSS300.

Thanks, however going with a heavier duty axle means I also have to replace the wheels and perhaps the tires, making it more expensive.
