Are Axles Available Without The Spring Seats Installed
Question:
I have a 1986 Jayco pop-up camper that needs a new axle. I want to install a Dexter axle on it however, the spring mount width will be 53inch as opposed to the 58inch spring-to-spring width offered on the axles you have on your site. Can I get an axle with a 53inch spring-to-spring width already constructed, or do I have to relocate the spring mounts myself?

Expert Reply:
The axles we offer have the spring seats already installed and they are placed at one of 3 lengths, 48 inches, 58 inches and 74 inches apart.
You would have to install new spring seats if you need the distance to be 53 inches. I have attached a link to the spring seats we offer. You will want the spring seats to be welded in place by a qualified welder.
