How to Determine Whether or Not You Can Flip the Axles on Your Trailer?
Question:
Can you flip the axles on a ‘17 Keystone Sprinter 5th Wheel?
asked by: Kenneth R
Expert Reply:
There are a couple of things that you'll need to know that will determine whether or not you can flip the axles on your 2017 Keystone Sprinter 5th Wheel. You will need to have round axles with either 2-3/8" or 3" diameter, and your current suspension system must be installed below the axle. You'll want to check the specs on the plate or sticker in the middle of your axle to determine what type of axles you currently have on this trailer to determine if your trailer meets these requirements.
If it does, for a 2-3/8" diameter axle you'll want to use the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit # K71-384-00 or for a 3" diameter axle you'll use the # K71-385-00 kit. Either of these kits can be used, depending on the diameter of your axle and placement of the current suspension, to "flip" your axle under the leaf springs.
If you can provide a little bit of information about the axles you have on your trailer I can confirm whether or not one of these kits will work for you.
