Round trailer axle beam measures 95" from hub face to hub face (when hubs - sold separately - are mounted) and 80" from spring center to spring center. E-Z 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.
The E-Z Lube spindles on this axle are meant to work with E-Z Lube-compatible hubs to make lubricating your bearings quick and easy. Each E-Z Lube spindle has a zerk fitting on the end. And every E-Z Lube hub comes with a grease cap that has an easy-to-remove rubber plug. Just pop out the plug on the cap to access the zerk on the spindle. When you inject grease into the zerk with a grease gun, the grease will flow to both the inner and outer bearings of the hub, lubricating the bearings and forcing out old, ineffective grease. Once you see new grease beginning to be pushed out, you know that your bearings are fully lubricated. This means that you can lubricate the bearings without the mess of taking apart the entire assembly.
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 95" from hub face to hub face (when hubs - sold separately - are mounted) and 80" from spring center to spring center. E-Z Lube spindles make it easy to lubricate bearings (sold separately).After a rust related axle failure, my equipment trailer was down. (If you roll in the rust belt, check your axles near where the brake wire goes through)
After checking my local source, I was told there was a long lead time for new axles due to the pandemic.
I was so happy to find etrailer. They had the exact axles I needed. After I pulled the axles I realized I also needed hardware and u-bolts.
Everything arrived ahead of schedule, allowing me to get back up and running quickly.
Thank you etrailer. You are a valuable resource.
The axles were missing studs that fell out during shipping. Also, no nuts were included for mounting the brakes.
These axles are of excellent quality. They are a replacement for 3500lb axles which proved to light for my loads. I've bought trailer axles from etrailer in the past with great success and plan to buy additional to complete my trailer upgrades.

Working great. Handling the heavier loads.
Shipping was on time. Pricing was cheaper then any trailer supply store around my area
I lent out a 10000 lb. Trailer to a friend who overloaded it to the point the axle bent. I purchased one from etrailer along with brakes, drums and spring bolts. etrailer was there with good advice and guidance so the job was not hard and was done right the first time. Now I have a solid trailer with good brakes, I do not lend it out anymore.
Exactly what I ordered. Fast delivery.
Great product used to replace the original Dexter agricultural style axle. Had no issues attaching to the trailer, and no problems supporting load. Would purchase again the next time I build/modify/upgrade a trailer.

Product has held up well over the past year in service without any issues towing cars, agricultural equipment, lumber, etc.
One word, FANTASTIC! The #5200lbs Dexter axle was a perfect fit period! The axle came with all factory stickers and serial numbers to further identify the correct part. Shipped in a good time given that the part wasn’t in stock but the wait was worth while.
The price and free shipping where the deciding, the perfect fit was very gratifying as well I highly recommend etrailer.com
Shipping carrier nicked the wires for the electric brakes and lost spindle protection cup and the brass colored locking device for the hub nut.
Excellent service, parts arrived quickly and on time, great parts and service, I couldn’t be happier with this order.
