Round trailer axle beam measures 72" from hub face to hub face (when hubs - sold separately - are mounted) and 58" from spring center to spring center. EZ-Lube spindles make it easy to lubricate bearings (sold separately).

Specs:
There are multiple ways to measure the length of an axle beam, but the hub-face-to-hub-face and spring-center-to-spring-center lengths are the most accurate. Hub face (A) refers to the length of the axle measured from the base of one wheel stud to the base of the wheel stud on the opposite side of the axle (when hubs are mounted on the beam).
The spring center (B) is the approximate width of your trailer. It is measured from the center of the spring seat on one side of the axle to the center of the seat on the other. This axle beam comes with the spring seats welded on.
If you are replacing your trailer's axle, you should be able to figure out which type you need by determining your trailer's capacity, the bolt pattern of your wheels, the brake type and the aforementioned lengths.
Dexters are made of high-strength steel and come with spindles and spring seats welded on. The spring seats are attached to the underside of the axle so that the leaf springs (sold separately) can mount beneath the axle. The result of this underslung design is a trailer that rides a bit lower for quick and easy loading and unloading.
Each axle is manufactured to create a certain camber angle. This ensures that the angle of the wheels is correct for your towing needs. Because the primary concern when towing is maintaining controlled, in-line movement, each axle is made so that your trailer's tires will run along the pavement evenly, with contact across the width of the tread. The result is excellent straight-line acceleration for steady, in-line tracking. You might notice the bend near the center of the axle; this is what ensures the proper camber angle. Having the center ride a bit higher and the sides of the axle bent lower allows the axle to give just enough to compensate for the load.

Round trailer axle beam measures 72" from hub face to hub face (when hubs - sold separately - are mounted) and 58" from spring center to spring center. EZ-Lube spindles make it easy to lubricate bearings (sold separately).I inherited an aluminum trailer that ended up needing a complete overhaul and etrailer was the best resource I could have found. After researching extensively to find out what I needed and watching their videos on how to do it I ended up ordering an EZ-lube axle, galvanized hubs, springs and a hanger kit (in other words everything from the frame down).
Everything shipped quickly and arrived in great shape. All the parts worked perfectly and I couldn't be happier!
We install these axles on our trailers for years and they have worked well without any problems.
Awesome quality! These are way better than what Wally World has on the shelf. Smooth as silk.
EVERYTHING IS ON I HAVERNT USED ON A TRIP YET
1 yr later, axle and bearing set is working well.
I decided to replace the axle under my trailer rather than the whole trailer.
I like the pre-bend in the tube for keeping tires balanced under load as well as the basic finish rather than bare steel.
Purchase price made it even better after shopping around a bit.

Doing well, as you know, the axle gets used only when the trailer does so it sits a lot. But I do enjoy that it has the pre bend to it so when loaded up it tracks true and the tire wear is even.
Bought this for my boat trailer. Great looking axle took all the measurements and it looked like it would fit. When I put my hubs on it they were about one inch short. So being short there are no threads to tighten the nut against the bearing. So now I need to order there hubs. This should be mentioned when you order the axle. Or give the hub over all length.

The axel is working great with no problems.
I have ordered from your company several times and this is the first time you shipped by the post office, everything has been UPS, if this is the way you are going to ship something this long and heavy through the post office, I will have to order form some other company next time I need something. I have dealt serval times ordering fishing rods and they were shipped by the post office and every time they came in damaged in some way so I will have to really give it a lot of consideration on ordering from your company again. Very dissapointed. I guess your claim on fast shipping may be true, but fast delivery is a joke.
Great axel. Blindingly fast service.
Shipped fast. Product seems strong. I do have a problem (not etrailer's fault), the axle I replaced didn't have a raised leave spring mount as this one does. That extra inch put my tires into the fenders (literally) :( will have to cut fenders off and probably end up getting another axle maybe one longer so I can have boat ride between fenders instead of over them.
Springs seats were missing

Axle is still good after a year
Axle bolted right in place and has been performing flawlessly for a year now. Great product!!!
I am happy with the final result. The first act we ordered was a fiasco. UPS says that USPS Employee signed for it but they don't except oversize packages and mine was 72" long. We hope that ups retired the first one to you because we would like a credit for it Thank you for your extra effort on our behalf.
As usual, I can get parts cheaper and faster from etrailer. I don't even look for local suppliers these days. Since I discovered your excellent website and in-stock supplies, I just order and poof it appears, magic!
The parts where just what we needed for our trailer Shipping was fast and no damage to parts.
The Axle fit perfectly and was a great deal! Everyone was great and even expedited the shipping up to Alaska. Will definitely be ordering parts from here in the future
Helpful staff...quality products...fast shipping competitive pricing..etrailer recommended..that's why I am a repeat customer
I now have 9780+ miles on my trailer. This item has held up to the task.
Best axle i have every seen. No need for bearing buddies anymore.
Axle is what I expected at a good price I will be back for more parts in the future
