Does Dexter Hub/Drum # 8-201-9UC3-EZ have 6k Capacity
Question:
We had a Lippert 6k axle shear all the studs on our fifth wheel trailer while traveling on I-70 this week. Luckily no injuries or damage to others around us. Very scary. We were able to get a Dexter hub kit that was an exact fit, K08-201-91. When I look it up it says it’s for a 5200 lb axle. Do I have a problem? I replaced both hub assemblies on the driver side trying to be proactive.

The hub you mentioned part number K08-201-91 is our part # 8-201-9UC3-EZ and is a 6k axle from Dexter. It's actually pretty common though for axles with capacities ranging from 5,200 to 7,000 lb to share same hub setups so I could see pretty easily how there'd be confusion there.
