Axle Dimensions
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.
Another helpful measurement to have is the flange-to-flange (C) length, which is measured from the outside of one brake flange to the outside of the one opposite. This length may be easy to obtain if you are replacing an axle, but it's important to note that this measurement is not the preferred method for determining which axle will best fit your trailer.
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
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.
Determining the Bolt Pattern
The first number in the bolt pattern is the number of bolt holes. The second number denotes the diameter, in inches, of the circle on which the bolt holes sit.
On wheels with an even number of bolt holes, measure from the center of one bolt hole to the center of the hole directly across from it. (Example: 8 on 6-1/2 means 8 bolt holes with 6-1/2" from the center of one hole to the center of another on the opposite side.)
To determine the bolt-circle diameter on wheels with an odd number of bolt holes, measure from the center of any bolt hole to the point halfway between the two bolt holes directly across from the first. (Example: 5 on 4-1/2 means 5 bolt holes with 4-1/2" measured to a point halfway between the opposite bolt holes.)
Measuring the distance (D) from the center of one bolt hole on the wheel to the center of a bolt hole right next to it can also help to determine the bolt pattern.
- If D = 2-5/8", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 4-1/2"
- If D = 2-3/4", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 4-3/4"
- If D = 3", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 5"
- If D = 3-1/4", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 5-1/2"

These axles work great. I replaced three axles on my trailer last fall (2022) with these axles. I was able to install the new axles and springs in about 3 hours because everything matched up very nicely - thanks to the help of the folks at etrailer.
by: Tom 07/17/2023
I installed the Dexter axle on my trailer yesterday, and I was very impressed with the quality and the ease of installation. The install took much less time than expected, and this was helped by the hubs having the bearing pre-installed, what a bonus! This is a great solution to replace a fried axle, I highly recommend it.

I gave a 2 because my complete order was not delivered. I ordered a complete axle for my trailer, but only the hubs were shipped. I had to call and find out what happened and the representative said they didn’t know why it wasn’t shipped but she would make sure it would be completed.

everything fit great, you need to package the tube of grease better, the one end of the tube was smashed from the box being dropped on one corner. was unable to use the tube of grease, so went to our local NAPA store and got a tube.

This was an easy installation. Nicole, our service rep spent a long time by phone to help us get the perfect part for our trailer. She was a valuable asset to making our purchase great!

I changed the axle on my boat trailer a year ago after finding the spindles pitted and leaking grease from the rear seals. Purchased an axle from e-trailer with bearings seals and spindles and was very pleased. etrailer has been a company that I would do business again as needed. Their products have been shown to be a good quality and have arrived on time and in good condition. Have been very pleased with the experience.

Have had no problems with product. Worked out fine.
by: Timothy07/11/2018
Purchased a trailer axle with hubs. I had lost a left wheel, hub and all and was lost at a loss as to how to proceed with fixing the bent, now damaged left spindle.
Finding the complete axle and hub set up at etrailer was a God sent.
The removal of the old and installation of the new axle was easy. Slide it in, tighten up the u-blots and you're home.
A side positive was that my new axle had a pre-load bend in it and also preset for toe in. Toe In like on your car to keep it running straight down the road. ( you'll have to read they're information literature)

We haul the trailer to Chicago often. The axle is still in service and giving us no concern for worry. In fact, the trailer tracks better than it ever did using your axle setup.

I removed and replaced my boat axle and springs including welding on the new hanger hardware before noon and was on the lake that afternoon. All the parts and pieces fit like a glove. Thanks Again Etrailer.

made very well, high quality just what i needed
by: Wayne 08/22/2022
Axle is two inches longer than the original axle on a 1986 trailer but the tires still ended up neatly tucked under the fenders. It was shipped lightning fast, was easy enough to install and has worked flawlessly for just over 10,000 miles now. Excellent!

EZ Lube axle, why didn't I have this last year? With a slight modification (weld new spring seats) 2"wider track, new hubs and springs the pontoon was back to the lake the same day. Now I never have to worry about repacking bearings again. Thanks etrailer
by: Tony06/01/2019
The parts were well protected and boxed during shipping. The parts were as described on the site. The bearings all came from China which would not have been my first choice but hopefully will be suitable. I would recommend this seller.

The center to center distance was 1 different for my trailer. I cut the brackets off and rewelded the brackets in the new location. The axle has worked well and I have had no problem. As I use the trailer only a couple of times a year the bearings that came with the axle have been fine so far.

The axle is great. Before, I had a bend in the old one that I didnt know about until I wore out a new set of tires in 400 miles :. Now things are super.

Maria K. went above and beyond to get me my trailer parts. Shipping was fast and I am extremely impressed with the service I received. Thank you.
by: Bill W07/19/2016
The axle I ordered was successfully installed yesterday. One issue I had was with the spring seats. My spring centers are 72 1/2. Knowing that I ordered the Spring Seats TRSS238. I cut off the seats that came with the axle as I knew I had to do but when I went to install the new seats I found the cutout diameter was too large for the axle.
For that reason I did not use the seats. Fortunately I did a neat job of cutting off the original seats so I welded those at the location I needed. They worked fine and fit very well. It would have been a problem if I did not get the seats off the axle as neat clean as I did.
Other that that issue the axle arrived in 5 days through standard shipping and hopefully will work for years to come.
by: Kong06/03/2019
Great service with knowledgeable staffs, on time delivery.
good quality and a fair price for complete axle, hubs assembly, although i received the axle, bearing hubs in good conditions the inner seals was damaged from the boxes being bounced around during shipping. Yes i would shop again at etrailer.com
by: Fred L04/23/2015
Ordered an axle and 2 trailer tires mounted on wheels. Cost is very reasonable and items were delivered promptly. This was my first time using etrailer and I am very impressed with the service and quality of items ordered. Will be a repeat customer.

- How to Determine Correct Replacement Axle For 2003 Ranger Boat TrailerWe can help you figure out how to determine what size axle can work, and to do so you will need to know just a few different things. The first thing you need to know is the weight capacity of your axle, followed by the dimensions of your current axle's hub face to hub face and spring center to spring center as in the diagram I have added. For example the Dexter Trailer Axle with Idler Hubs # 20545I-EZ-72-10 has a 2,200 lb capacity and measures 72 inches from hub face to hub face and 58...

- Looking For Replacement 2,500 lb Axle For A 1997 Fleetwood Mallard 24JHey Andrew thanks for the pictures. That axle tag has certainly seen better days. From what I can see it says Dexter Axle SLR 2500 lb. My best guess is the serial number says 1769444. Unfortunately, there is no way for me to determine the hub face length by looking at this tag. Your best bet will be to measure the hub face length and spring center length of the current axle. I will tell you up front that we do not offer any 2,500 lb axles so we do not have a direct replacement for this....

- How to Identify Replacement Trailer BearingsThe best way to identify replacement trailer bearings is to pull one of the hubs and remove the existing bearings. This should allow you to find the part numbers stamped into the bearing housing. The linked photo shows the typical appearance of bearing numbers. If you cannot find part numbers you'll need to measure bearing inner and outer diameters to the nearest thousandth, such as 1.234-inches. You can use a caliper like # PTW80157.

- Will Changing Trailer Axle Increase Trailer Weight RatingIt sounds like your single-axle boat trailer currently has a square torsion axle rather than a leaf spring suspension. You can swap this out for a tandem beam axle setup using 2 axles, 4 leaf springs plus hangers and equalizers but note that doing so will not necessarily give your trailer any additional capacity. A trailer's weight capacity is a function of its overall design and construction, but most directly it is a function of the lowest-rated part of the trailer. This COULD be the...

To jump up to a 3,500 lb axle would require more info from you. I'd need spring seat center to spring seat center plus hub face to hub face off your old axles. You have slipper springs which we can help with that as well. How long are the springs you have now?

view full answer... - Spacing Between Hub Face and Spring Seat for 3,500 Pound AxleThe difference between the hub face and spring center measurements are recommended to be no more than 18". In other words, 9" from the spring seat to the hub face on each side. When replacing your axle with something like the # 35545I-EZ-89 you should be choosing an axle with the same hub face measurement you have now. If your replacement axle is the same length as your current axle, and you also match your current spring center distance, you will not have a problem.

If you have the trailer with you, the quickest method will be to simply crawl under the trailer and check for an information tag on the axle itself. The tag/plate is typically found near the center of the axle and will list the axle's weight capacity. You can take a look at the attached photo for an example. If you cannot locate an identification tag/plate on the axle, then...

- Determining the Weight Capacity of Axle on 5th Wheel TrailerThe first step I recommend taking is to look for any tags, stickers or embossed numbers on the axle itself. The information on the tag or sticker can help determine the axle's capacity if it is not listed. The next step is to measure the diameter of the axle because capacities are directly related to axle diameter. For instance a 2-3/8 inch axle diameter is traditionally a 3,500 lb axle but a 3 inch diameter may have a 5,200 lb, 6,000 lb, or 7,000 lb capacity. The next step is to remove...
