The Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with E-Z Lube Spindles part # 7359765 is the most common 3,500 lb axle which has a hub face measurement of 95" and a spring center measurement of 80" although the spring seats can be moved. I would be willing to bet this is likely what you have now but please note the hub face is actually where the wheels butts up against the drum so the base of the lug stud.

Please note, we don't offer any axles with a 92" hub face but if this is really what you have then you can still use the above but the tires would stick out an additional 1.5" on each side. You can reuse all your old brakes and hubs/drums or just go with part # 7359765-EB.

Hey Scott, so the braking and hub components of a Dexter 3,500 lb axle made in 1999 would be the same as what's currently used so those components would transfer over. So a bare axle like the part #T3584F-EZ-8974 would work for you but you'd…
