What is the Capacity of the Axle in Dexter Trailer Axle Kit with Idler Hubs 20545I-EZ-72-15
Question:
The specs on your web page indicate 2000 lb rating, but the video review states 2200 lb rating. What is the correct rating? Thanks

For trailer axle # 20545I-EZ-72-15 the axle itself is rated for 2,200 pounds. The axle alone is # T20BTR-EZ-7258. The hubs that are included with # 20545I-EZ-72-15 are rated for 2,000 pound axles so since they are lower than the axle itself the rating for that whole system is 2,000 pounds.
If you need a 2,200 pound set up you would use axle # T20BTR-EZ-7258 and 2 of hub # 8-258-50UC1-EZ.
