Spindle Measurements Help Determine Axle Capacity on 3500 Pound Dexter Trailer Axles
Question:
How do you get a 3500 pound weight rating with the 1 1/16 spindle? I have read several opinions that the 1 1/16 spindle was limited at 2200 lbs. And, obviously, I am ignorant on this.

Helpful Expert Reply:
The 1-1/16 measurement is the diameter of where the outer bearing rides on the spindle. There are different capacity spindles that have this same measurement. Ones with a thicker stem, the part welded to the axle, have a higher capacity and that is what is on axle # T3584F-EZ-8974. Each of the spindles is rated for 1,750 pounds for a total of 3500 pounds for the whole axle.
