We do have a 72 inch, 2,200 pound trailer axle with hubs, # 20545I-EZ-72-10, but the hubs are not pre-installed. Everything is included (bearings, seals, races (the races already pressed in), grease caps, and lug nuts) just not pre-mounted.

I have included a link to a video showing an example installation of this axle for you. This axle has hubs with a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern. It is also available with a 4 on 4 bolt pattern # 20440I-EZ-72 with a 2,000 lb capacity.

Answer 4

To determine fit, the width of your trailer should be the same as the spring seat center to center measurement on the axle (48 inches). The #T20BTR-6048 lines up fine there. If these bearings fit your hubs, inner bearing L44649 and outer bearing…

Answer 7

To determine the size of the hub assembly you need to purchase you have to determine which bearings are in the old assembly. If the old assembly has L44649 inner bearings, you would use the hub you chose #8-258-5UC1. If the inner bearings are marked…

Answer 8

If your existing hub assemblies use the #L44649 inner and outer wheel bearing, hubs and races are still in good condition, you can reuse them. I'd recommend replacing the bearings and #L44610 races. I wouldn't recommend trying to bend the…

Answer 9

The correct info needed to pick out a trailer axle is the capacity, the distance from hub face to hub face, and the distance between the spring seat centers. For example the 2,200 lb trailer axle part #T20BTR-EZ-7258 has a distance of 72 inches from…

If your current springs have 5 leaves then going to a 7 leaf spring will increase the height of the trailer a little and make the trailer more susceptible to sway. Regarding capacity if you go with springs rated higher than what is required it will…

Answer 12

Since you have a wheelbase/axle spacing of 38 inches the correct hanger kit for slipper springs would be the part #HAP-105-205-01. And then for a 7k trailer axle the u-bolt kit you'd want would be the part #APUBR-8. I attached the diagram to use…
