We definitely have 6 on 5 1/2 bolt pattern options for bearings # 25580 and # 15123 and the Dexter # 8-201-9UC3-EZ is one of those options. That being said, axles that use this combination of bearings are rated up to 6,000 pounds, as are the 6 on 5 1/2 hubs.

If you needed to go with the 8 on 6 1/2 hubs like the Dexter # 8-219-4UC3-EZ, you would need to upgrade the axle to a higher capacity. The Dexter # 8327834 would get you where you needed to be, but with the spring seats being 80 inches from center to center, you would need to measure to make sure this would fit properly.

Another thing to keep in mind, the hubs and drums that we carry are not rated to be used on a powered axle. They should only be used on a pull behind trailer or camper.

I did some checking and the hub/drum we offer that will work for you is the part #8-430-5UC3. This uses the same bearings as the 8-415 and will be an exact fit aside from the fact this is a non-ABS setup and the 8-415 came in an ABS setup and non-ABS…
