Determining Diameter of Axle on 2007 Jayco Octane Toy Hauler

Question:

Good day, I have looked everywhere on this toy hauler to find my axle size. The sticker on the side of camper is faded away. Is there anyway to determine axle size by make and model . This toy hauler is a tandom axle trailer. Just ordered the ez flex shackle kit from u guys, cant wait to install. Anyway I appreciate any help in this matter.

Sounds like you are trying to determine the diameter of your trailer axle. Measuring an axle, especially a round one, can be difficult. I recommend using a set of dial or digital calipers to get an accurate measurement.

Typical Axle Diameters Based on Axle Capacity

1,000-lb - 2,000-lb Axles: 1-1/2" - 1-3/4" diameter
3,500-lb Axles: 2-3/8" diameter (can have a 3-1/2" diameter, but rarely)
6,000-lb - 7,200-lb Axles: 3" diameter
8,000-lb Axles: 3-1/2" diameter
9,000-lb Axles: 4" diameter
10,000-lb Or more axles: 5" diameter
