In order to find the correct replacement axle for a trailer you'll need to know which type of axle you have, torsion or leaf spring. Then, you'll note the axle capacity which can be found on the axle tag. Finally, you'll need to measure the hub face and spring center length. The Dexter Trailer Axle Beam part # T3584F-EZ-8974 for example is a leaf spring axle with a 3,500 lb capacity that measures 89" long from the face of each hub. I have attached the full list of options below.

Once you find the correct axle you can then use this to find hub/drums, brakes, and wheels/tires.

The hub/drum/brake assembly components are a totally different size between a 3,500 lb axle and a 5,200 lb axle. You can easily swap to the 5,200 lb axle like the part #8327816 but you will need new hub/drums like the #8-201-5UC3-EZ which has a 12…
