For your 2004 Venture Trailer, I recommend the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 5,200-lb and 6,000-lb Axles - 12" Diameter - 6 on 5-1/2 # AKHD-655-6-K. This comes with the bearings and seal you need. For your hydraulic brake assemblies, I recommend the Hydraulic Brake Kit - Uni-Servo - Free Backing - Dacromet - 12" - Left/Right Hand - 5.2K to 7K # AKFBBRK-7-D.

For your tires and wheels, I recommend the Provider ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire w/ 15" White Mod Wheel - 6 on 5-1/2 - LR D # TA24VR. This tire is rated for up to 81 mph and 2,540 lbs at 65 psi.

If you want a bias tire versus a radial, I recommend the Taskmaster ST225/75D15 Bias Tire w/ 15" Black Steel Mod Wheel - 6 on 5-1/2 - LR D - Black Powder Coat Finish # TA72FR. This is also rated for 81 mph max and 2,540 lbs at 65 psi.

For your roller, I don't understand exactly what you are looking for but I think it may be the CE Smith Wobble Roller Retainer Ring - Zinc-Plated Steel - Qty 1 # CE10981.

If you are looking for a keel roller, I recommend the CE Smith Deep V Keel Roller Assembly for Boat Trailers - Galvanized Steel/Black Rubber - 5" # CE10401G or the spool roller # CE32150G. If you want the parts separate, I recommend the roller # YR5213-5 and the Roller Shaft with Pal Nuts for Boat Trailer Rollers - Zinc-Plated Steel - 6-1/4" x 5/8" # CE10722A.

In order to determine the torque rating for the lug nuts on your trailer you will need to know check out the chart I attached that shows all of the torque specs for all the trailer lugs available based on stud size, wheel material and wheel size.

Answer 2

Load range B trailer tires are going to have a lower capacity than C load range tires. Basically that, psi rating, and the ply rating are the only differences. A higher load range tire would last a little longer than lower load ranges of the same…

A BT8 spindle would have a diameter of .99 of an inch where the bearings would both install and would have a diameter of 1.24 where the great seal would ride. That would require a hub part #AKIHUB-440-2-1K for an idler hub. A BTR spindle would have…

Answer 9

Your math is correct in your trailer weight load example. If a fully-loaded tandem axle trailer weighs 4000-lbs then each of the 4 tires will bear 1/4th of that load, or 1000-lbs. In this case a tire rated for 1300-lbs would provide a good safety…
