Is There A 60" Hub Face Axle That Will Allow Me To Use A 6 on 5-1/2" Wheel Hub?
Question:
Is there a 6x5.5 hub available for this axle?
asked by: Mason M
Expert Reply:
I have a couple options that may help you to get the correct hub size as there is not one that is a direct fit for the Dexter Trailer Idler Axle Beam with EZ-Lube Spindles # T20BTR-EZ-6048.
First the #84 E-Z Lube Spindle w/ Brake Flange # TRU74FR can be welded on in place of the smaller spindles that come on the Dexter axle. This will give you a spindle that is traditionally found on a larger 3,500lb axle and allow you to use the 6 on 5-1/2" Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # AKIHUB-655-35-EZ-K.
The second option would be to use the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System # ASR3500S06 that already comes with the correct size spindle for the 6 on 5-1/2" Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # AKIHUB-655-35-EZ-K. The Timbren uses a universal style mounting system that can be adapted to several different widths.
