Replacement Trailer Axle Recommendation for an EZ Loader Boat Trailer

Question:

Hello! Big fan of eTrailer here! I am looking at purchasing a used EZ-loader boat trailer. I dont have the VIN yet but could you give me a ballpark figure on two new axles? Everything else looks really good - guy just stripped the axles. It is a 2001 aluminum tandem axle rated at 5000#s, 23foot total length, 80inch between fenders.

You will need to measure your axles first though.

The axles we offer are 89 inches from hub face to hub face and 74 inches from spring center to spring center. If your axles match these dimensions the part # T3584F-EZ-8974 would be a great choice for a hubless axle.

If you wanted an axle that came with hub/drums that have a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern you would want the # 35545E-ST-89.

If you need axles with different dimensions you will need to check with your local trailer shop to have them order you in custom axles that would fit.

Prices are available below at the links.

Hi. I have a 2002 13’ Boston Whaler with trailer and axle, hubs, and leaf springs all rusted up. Not sure what kit to get. Rough measurements: hub to hub = 67” leaf to leaf = 52”. Leaf springs 28x2”. Think 5 stud wheels. Can you help? Thank you.

We don't have a standard axle available with that hub face length, but I still think I have a great solution for you. Since you also need to replace the whole suspension setup, I recommend considering a Timbren Axle-Less System like the 3,500 pound # ASR3500S05 (just as an example). These versatile setups fit any frame width, typically eliminate the need for a thru-axle altogether, and also take the place of standard leaf springs with their independent springs. I linked our full selection below.
