We offer 3 spindles that have the dimensions compatible with the Dexter Trailer Hub Assembly, part # 84545UC1-EZ.

The first is part # TRU74FR. This is a 1.75 inch round EZ-Lube spindle with a grease fitting and a brake flange. This spindle has an overall length of 9 inches.

The next is part # TRU64FR. This is a 1.75 round spindle that does not have the brake flange or grease zerk fitting. This spindle has an overall length of 8-1/4 inches.

The third is part # TRU24FR. This is a 2 inch round spindle that does not have a grease zerk fitting or a brake flange. This spindle has an overall length of 8-1/4 inches.

Any time you are going to have a spindle welded on your axle you will need the work to be performed by a professional.
