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.
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.
E-Z Lube Spindles Make Lubrication Simple
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
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.

THANKS ETRILER FOR TAKING CARE MY ONLINE ORDER THE DEXTER TRAILER AXLE WAS PERFECT FOR MY NEW INSTALLATION I DONT NEED TO WORRY ABOUT THE EXTRA LOAD ON MY BOAT TRAILER
by: Joseph 12/24/2023
Fit perfect. All parts from my old axle transferred without any problems. I welded the new saddles on the axle without any issues.
by: Mark 11/17/2023
Worked as planned = a good fit. My application required me to weld new mounts to the opposite side of the axle - my application was over sprung and had a 68.5" mounting measurement.
by: Bill 06/03/2023
The axel was received in excellent condition. After measuring twice I welded the spring pads on. It now sits in the rafters of garage. Dexter sent me a complete axel and spring assembly 2 days later that they said they would not. I now have a spare to take with me to Alaska next month.

I called to confirm fitment and availability. I then place the order on line on Wednesday and the axle showed up Friday evening. You can not beet that! Local suppliers where about $75.00 more and I had to go pick it up an hour each way!
by: Douglas03/30/2024
I replaced the noodley Lippert axles that bent on my utility trailer. Much better. They also have the proper bend in them for the load compensation. I took the part number off the Lippert axle, and etrailer was able to cross reference the part numbers for perfect fit.
by: John04/26/2024
You were great to the way you help me resolve my problems. The axle is the correct one I needed. Just one small thing I found that it was missing two mounting studs.
by: Alfredo03/02/2024
Check your order! I specifically ordered Dexter axles and they sent me generic ones.
by: Mike B.11/14/2016
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!
by: George M.09/08/2019
etrailer had the best prices and excellent customer service, Thanks Ian! Shipping was fast and free to boot. I bent the front axle on my in-laws fifth wheel camper and this axle fit the bill. I had to order a set of spring seats and weld them to the opposite sides. The original seats were at 68.5 " centers and that configuration was unavailable anywhere.
by: Louis04/19/2024
I'd like to thank odella and Kate for taking such good care of my order.
I first talked to Odella and had to break off the conversation for something else called back and Kate took my call and was able to fulfill the order and take all my information very nice dealing with the company that has their people in the United States and you're not talking to a computer!
Also was really shocked I received the order 2 days early really good work!

See what our Experts say about this Dexter Trailer Axles
- Replacing an 80" Long 4" x 4' Square Axle On A Sea-Doo Trailer We do have a potential option for you. I will start by saying that we do not carry a direct replacement for that axle, as we do not carry any square tube axles. The closest thing we have length-wise is the Dexter Trailer 5.2K Axle Beam # 8327816, which is 86-1/2" long, when measured from hub-face to hub-face. So this may be a bit too long to be a viable option. A better option is to go with an axle-less setup like the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension # TASR35HDS06. This system will...
view full answer... - Recommended 5200lb Dexter Axle To Replace 5200lb Lippert Axle W/ 86-1/2" Hub Face MeasurementI reached out to my contact at Lippert and based on the information you provide your axle has an axle rating of 5200lb, measures 86-1/2" hub face to hub face, 68-1/2" spring center to spring center, has the springs installed above the axle, and uses the 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern. For a replacement Dexter axle we have the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with E-Z Lube Spindles - 86-1/2" Long - 5,200 lbs # 8327816 or the # 8327816-EB which already has the brakes and hub and drum assemblies installed...
view full answer... - Could Tire Blow Out Cause Other Axle to Bend SpindleTire blow outs do not tend to bend or damage spindles but things can happen. I would recommend taking the trailer to an alignment shop who can do trailers and see what they think is going on. It could be damaged suspension components too so you might check there as well. To pick out a replacement axle you would need to know a few things but we don't what axle your trailer needs. You'd need to know the axle capacity, the distance from spring seat to spring seat on current axle as well as...
view full answer... - Replacement Axle w/ 86-1/2" Hub Face I did some looking around and just heard back from Dexter. I have a solution for you but we do not have anything with a 68.5" spring centers. We do have a few axles that have a 86.5 inch hub face. The lightest capacity one is the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with E-Z Lube Spindles - 86-1/2" Long - 5,200 lbs item # 8327816. The spring seats are farther out than you need them but you can always remove them and attach new ones. To do this you will need the Truryde Spring Seat for Typical 5,200-lb...
view full answer... - Replacing the Axle on a Gooseneck Horse TrailerAn axle flip kit like part # K71-384-00 will raise the trailer the diameter of the axle plus the height of the leaf spring pack. I do have options for you but rotating the axle to where the bend faces the other direction is not one of them. The bend in the axle will actually straighten out once a load is placed on the trailer and if this was reversed, the axle would lose capacity. Now from this point forward you have two options both of which entail replacing the axle. Since your current...
view full answer... - Availability of Hubs With 5 On 4-1/2 Bolt Pattern for 5,200 Pound AxleA 5,200 lbs axle like the # 8327816 will not allow you to keep your current bolt pattern. You will have to compromise somewhere, whether it is getting another 3,500 lbs axle or switching bolt patterns. The typical bolt pattern for hubs on your existing 3,500 lbs axle is 5 on 4-1/2. The 5,200 lbs axles we have only allow for hubs with a 6 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern like the # K08-201-98 Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 5,200-lb E-Z Lube Axles - 12" - 6 on 5-1/2. I would be happy to...
view full answer... - Can 3,500 lb Axles be Changed to 5,200 lb Axles and Parts NeededThe short answer is yes, you can replace your 3,500 lb axle with a 5,200 lb axle. The longer answer is that while you can change to a higher-rated axle, that does not mean your trailer has a higher weight capacity. The reason is, weight ratings are determined by the lowest-rated component, which can be something other than the axle, like the trailer chassis, for example. So you would need to ensure via the trailer manufacturer what the lowest-rated component is. With that said, in order...

- Replacement 5,200 lb Axle That is 86-1/2 Inches From Hub Face to Hub FaceWhile we have an option for you, there isn't a 5,200 lb axle we offer that measures both 86-1/2 inches hub face to hub face and 68-1/2 inches spring center to spring center. So what you can do is get an axle with an 86-1/2 inch hub face measurement and weld on new spring seats at the 68-1/2 inch measurement you need. The correct parts for that are the following: - Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with E-Z Lube Spindles - 86-1/2" Long - 5,200 lbs # 8327816 - Spring Seat for Typical 5,200-lb...

The wheels could still be used as long as the new hubs match the bolt pattern. Since the spring seat measurement is 71-1/2" you would also need to cut off the spring seats and put on # TRSS300 to match your 68-1/2" measurement. If you want to use your existing hubs and drums, I recommend the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension...
view full answer... - 86-1/2 Inch Long Axle Option For Grand Design TrailerHi there Andy; thanks for that info, and while we don't have 3,500 lb axles that are 86-1/2 inches long, we do have a 5,200 lb option with the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam # 8327816. The spring center you mention is an odd one, as the # 8327816 has 71-1/2" spring centers. What you can do if you like is have new spring seats welded on at the appropriate 68-1/2" distance. For that you'd need a pair of Spring Seat # TRSS300.
view full answer... - How to find the correct replacement trailer axle for overslung setupThe Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with E-Z Lube Spindles - 86-1/2" Long - 5,200 lbs # 8327816 is the closest option available. The hub face to hub face measurement is only 1-1/2" more than your current setup, which won't cause any issues. The main thing to look at and match up EXACTLY is the spring seat to spring seat spacing. Since you need 68-1/2" spacing, and this axle provides 71-1/2" spacing, you will need to cut the spring seats off and move them to the appropriate spot for your trailer...

Realistically, to get the exact capacity you'll need to contact Dexter with the serial number. After that, to get the right 5,200 lb or 6,00 lb axle you'll need to you will need to know the dimensions of your current axle's hub face to hub face and spring center to spring center. For example, the...
view full answer... - Replacement Dexter D52 Trailer Axle with 86.5" Hub Face Length It sounds like you're looking for the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam part # 8327816 which is 86.5" long at the hub face and has a 5,200 lb weight capacity. The spring seats however will need to be moved in for your application which requires tack welding so bear this in mind, you'll likely want part # TRSS300 to go with as removing the old ones cleanly is difficult. If you're looking to save some cash we do have this same axle through our in-house brand as part # e45GR.

Instead I recommend going with the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System w Hubs - Straight Spindle - 5 on 4-1/2 # A35RS545 that has a 3500lb axle rating to match what is currently on your Launch Mini, and bolts directly to the frame of your trailer so hub face and spring center measurements...
view full answer... - Can Trailer Axle 8327816 Use Hub with Outer Bearing LM67048 and 15123Yes, since the inner diameter of the two bearings you mentioned # LM67048 and # 15123 are both 1.25 inches you can use a hub that has either. Basically any 5,200 to 7,000 lb hub will fit as they are designed to fit the number 42 spindle dimensions this axle has.

Mobile home axles are meant for a one time use, so there aren't compatible replacement hubs available. If you need replacement bearings and seals, you will use # L68149 for the inner and # LM67048 for the outer. For the Grease Seal you will need # 10-40.

- Can 7,000 Pound Hub and Drum with 8 on 6-1/2 Bolt Pattern Fit 5,200 Pound AxleDexter hubs # 8-219-4UC3-EZ can fit a 5,200 pound axle, but not as they come. The 5,200 pound axles, like part # 8327816 as an example, use # 25580 and # LM67048 for the inner and outer bearings respectively. The hub uses # 14125A for the outer bearing which has the same inner diameter (1.25 inches) as # LM67048 so that's not an issue. The problem is the grease seal. The hub includes # GS-2125DL for the seal which measures 2.125 inches inner and 3.376 inches outer. The axles need a...

They do use the same spindles so the bearings and grease seal will all match. You would simply need to weld spring seats onto the axle at the 68.5 inch on center locations using # TRSS300.

I have attached a link that will take you directly to this selection that you can look through if needed. We also have a couple 5,200 pound Dexter axles that do not include hubs so you can add those with a 8 on 6-1/2 inch bolt pattern like what you are needing.

I recommend the Dexter Trailer Axle with E-Z Lube Spindles item # 8327816. This axle is 86-1/2" Long with a 5,200 lbs capacity that will replace your Lippert axle. The TruRyde spring seats item # TRSS300 will work well with these axles. Unless your trailer hubs are brand new you should replace both of them and keep the passenger side one around as a spare.
