The Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with E-Z Lube Spindles # 7359765 would work for you as a replacement axle. It will require new Spring Seats # TRSS238 to be welded on at your 84" spring center measurement.

You will also need a new U-Bolt Kit # CE23002. This kit has been zinc coated to resist corrosion on your jet ski trailer.

I recommend using new bearings and hubs with your new axle. If you let me know your wheel bolt pattern I can give you my recommendation for those parts as well. Is it a braking axle?

Yes, going from a 4 leaf to a 6 leaf spring would add slightly to your ride height. For example, if the current 4 leaf spring has 3/8" thick leaves, and you go to a 6 leaf spring with 3/8" thick leaves, you would be adding 3/4" of…

Hey Patrick, so for your leaf spring upgrade I am going to need to know a couple of things before I can get you over to the right part. Specifically, the length from eye to eye, the spring width, leaf thickness, and the number of leaves. From here I…
