Compatibility of Axle with Wider Spring Seats
Question:
Will your 35545E-ST-89 axle be ok for a trailer that is 78inch wide . I know your spring perches are 74inch center to center. That is not what I am concerned about. It is the back set of the wheel that it will not be a interference problem with the frame rails? Can we use the AM10235 size tire? Thanks

Helpful Expert Reply:
If the overall width of the frame at the wheels is 78 inches, then you will approximately have 1-1/4 inches of spacing between the frame and the tire # AM10235 with the # 35545E-ST-89. Only having 1-1/4 inches of spacing between the tire and frame is cutting it close, but will still work.
