Recommended 3500 lb Axle with Idler Hub Assembly And EZ-Lube Spindles
Question:
trailer is rated for 2200 lb. carrying capacity, why would a 3500 lb axle be necessary? Triton uses the same torsion axle on all their 2 place sled trailers. Their number is 2360, or more commonly known as a #9 Dexter torsion axle. It is a 2200 lb. Axle. Trailer is a 2007 12v101 Triton.

Expert Reply:
I think you will be better off simply replacing the axle. I recommend a replacement like the Dexter Trailer Axle w/ Idler Hubs - EZ-Lube - 5 on 4-1/2 Bolt Pattern - 89" Long - 3,500 lbs, # 35545I-EZ-89, since you have no brakes. This will give you the new axle, the new bearings, races, seals, and hubs on EZ-Lube spindles. Will also give you the clear knowledge if there is another issue because the axle will be brand new. The length of your trailer axle you are replacing will dictate the proper fit.
If you need further recommendations or troubleshooting, let me know.
