Info Needed to Pick Out Replacement Axle and Suspension for a Trailer
Question:
I would like to find out total cost of an axle for a 5x10 trailer with leaf springs and tires already in the kit, complete kit ready for me to install?

You would need to measure from the hub face to hub face and then from the spring mount centers to pick out the correct axle to fit your trailer. I attached a picture that shows where these measurements are. Once we know that we can pick out the correct size axle. We can assume a lighter capacity axle would be what you'd need but you will need to let me know the weight of your trailer when loaded so we can ensure we get the correct capacity. From there we'll be able to determine the correct leaf springs and wheels/tires.
I attached a link to a page that has all of the axles we offer for you to check out as well.
