Hey Sam, so in some states it is required that you have brakes on all axles of a triple axle trailer but in some states that is not true. It sounds like you already checked in your area but figured I would still mention it.
I do need two key pieces of info to determine what you would need though. We need the axle capacity as well as the wheel bolt pattern of the trailer wheels. I also attached a help article that will walk you through the process of adding brakes to a trailer as well. view full answer...
Hi Shane; for an over/under kit for your 2-3/8" diameter trailer axles what you will need is the following:
- Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit # K71-384-00
Keep in mind this kit is for a single axle only, so for a tandem axle you will need to order a quantity of two. view full answer...
Hi Sandra; does your Jayco 23B have standard, round axles (we have no way of knowing which axles any trailer has, which is why I ask)? Assuming it does, and and the axles are 3,500 lb, 2-3/8" diameter axles you can use the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit # K71-384-00.
This puts the trailer's leaf springs to the top of the axle and will raise it the same amount as your axle's diameter plus the height of the leaf spring pack. Another option, even if your leaf springs are... view full answer...
Hello Robert. It sounds like you are trying to convert your trailer over to leaf spring suspension. Does your trailer currently use a torsion axle? Because leaf spring suspension cannot be added to a torsion axle. If it is just a straight rectangle axle, it is possible to add leaf spring suspension.
Spring seats would need to be welded to the axle. We do not offer any spring seats for a square axle, but a spring seat like part # TRSS300 could potentially be modified to fit. You will also... view full answer...
Unfortunately, I have no way to look up the parts installed on your 2020 Lance 2465. Based on the trailers weight it appears you are going to have a 4,400LB axle which we currently do not carry in any size. If you can provide me with an image of the axle tag on the rear section of your axle I can let you know if we have any larger axles you can use in its place as an upgrade. view full answer...
Hello there Frank, and thanks so much for that info. The answer to your question is 100 percent yes, you can use one of the Dexter Over/Under kits on your Jayco travel trailer with 3,500 lb Lippert axles. Those are 2-3/8" diameter axles, so the correct kit is the following:
- Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit # K71-384-00 view full answer...
Thanks for all of the information, Robert!
It sounds like you have the Tandem-Axle Trailer Hangers # H248 installed on your tandem axle trailer so to get your Dexter Trailer Axle w/ Electric Brakes # 7359765-EB installed you need the following parts:
- 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 3,500-lb Trailer Axles # e54SR
- CE Smith U-Bolt Kit # CE23002
- Suspension Kit for Tandem-Axle Trailers # AP233
You need a total of 4 leaf spring, 2 of the U-Bolt kits, and just one of the suspension kits... view full answer...
Hey Bryce, the Curt breakaway kit part # C52042 would work great on your dual axle flat bed trailer. This kit is rated for up to three brake axles so your tandem axle setup would work great. view full answer...
Hey John, it is definitely possible to add brakes to a trailer with torsion axles but it comes down to whether or not the spindles of the trailer axles have brake mounting flanges currently as the biggest hurdle. They can be added but it's a little more involved. Next you'd need to know the axle capacity and the wheel bolt pattern and from there you'd have all info needed to add brakes.
If you check out the help article I attached you can see a guide that will walk you through the entire... view full answer...
If you are talking about flipping your axle so it mounts below your leaf springs then yes! You should definitely take this opportunity to install an axle flip kit. There is no better time then right now. If this is not what you are talking about then feel free to email me directly with some more information!
There are two options to install an axle flip kit which one you need is going to depend on the thickness of your trailer's axle. I have listed both options below:

Thank you for the extremely detailed information! Sorry Michael but we do not have any axles with those specifications. The closest one we have available is the 5,200 lbs Dexter Trailer Axle Beam item # 8327816. It has a 86-1/2" hub face and a 71-1/2" spring center. view full answer...
Based on the information I could find on your 2023 Jayco Jayfeather 30QB travel trailer it appears you are going to have 4,400lb axles. You are going to need to verify the diameter of your current axles as some manufacturers like Lippert use a 2-3/8" diameter axle tube and others like Dexter use a 3" axle tube.
If you have a 3" axle the Roadmaster Comfort Ride Leaf Spring Suspension Kit w/ Shock Absorbers # RM-2460-2560 will be the kit you need.
If you have a 2-3/8" axle you will need... view full answer...
We do have one possible option that will work for your 3,500 lb tandem torsion axles. It is from Dexter, and does require you to have the #10 Torflex axles. So you'll need to check the sticker/placard on your axle to see if you have that, and if you do then you can use the Torflex Lift Kit - Tandem Axle # K71-707-02. view full answer...
Hey Edward, thanks for reaching out!
What you're looking for is the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with E-Z Lube Spindles # 8327834.
This is just the axle tube and spindles so to add brakes and the hub/drums to it you also need the following:
- Nev-R-Adjust Trailer Brakes # 23-464-465 (1 kit per axle)
- Hub/Drum Kit # 8-219-13UC3 (2 per axle) view full answer...
David, so we do have a couple of potential lift kit options for your Rockwood travel trailer, but you're going to want to make sure that what you have will work with the kit.
If you have #11 Torflex axles with a 4,100 - 6,000-lb capacity, then the Torflex Lift Kit # K71-724-02 would work great and would lift your trailer 2 7/8".
If you have #12 Torflex axles with a 5,500 - 7,000 lb capacity, then the Torflex Lift Kit # K71-725-02 would work great and would lift your trailer 3 1/8".

Hello Eric. We certainly should have hubs and brakes that you can use on your 2002 Eagle Trailer, but we do not carry any torsion axles here. We currently only deal with leaf spring axles, which do use the same hubs and brakes as the torsion axles. If you can tell me the weight capacity of the axle, I am happy to recommend parts for you. We would also need you to confirm the bearing sizes for your axle so we can make sure to get you the exact right parts.
For example the DeeMaxx Disc... view full answer...
Unfortunately Bill, we are not going to have any parts that will let you keep your current axles. You can either look at getting replacement axles which I can help you find or you can look at installing the more common #42 Spindle # TRU37FR or # TRU39FR on your axle. These would need to be welded in by a shop with an axle jig to ensure they go on perfectly straight. If you can let me know what width axle you have from hub face to hub face and spring center to spring center I can determine... view full answer...
Hi there Chad; there are actually not any 3,500 lb axles with an 89 inch hub face to hub face measurement that does not have spring seats welded on. The ones we offer do have the spring seats welded on at 74 inches apart. That said, if you need spring seats at a measurement different than the 74 inch spacing you can have new ones welded on with the Spring Seat # TRSS238.
We don't have two axle kits with suspension but there are a couple options for 89 inch, 3,500 lb axles with hub and... view full answer...
You need to use the Torflex Lift Kit # K71-707-02 since your 2020 Haulmark enclosed trailer has the tandem Dexter #10 Torflex axles. The Lippert Axle Riser Kit # LC382741 you found is only rated for Lippert's square torsion axles. While I do see the measurements are very close for the mounting holes(7-7/8" Lippert, 8" Dexter) each manufacturer does test their own parts for their products. So if an issue developed over time by using the different manufacturers parts they would not be covered... view full answer...
