Correct Axle and 13 Inch Tire and Wheel Kit for Homemade Trailer with 58 Inch Spring-Centers
Question:
Hi, I'm doing some research to build a trailer and I would like some assistance from you fine folks if that's okay. For axles I'm wanting 58" spring center measurement with hubs and easy lube spindles. Will also need tires and wheels. 13" wheels would be fine I think. Thank you so much for your help!

Thank you for all of the info! I'd be more than happy to help out.
For an axle that meets your specs I recommend going with our etrailer Trailer Axle # e37YR which has the 58" spring-center measurement, a 72" hub-face measurement, has an easy-lube spindle, and comes with idler hubs that are compatible with a 13" wheel.
When it comes to the tires and wheels we have a few options for you; a 175/80-13 size tire would be more than enough and for that I recommend the Kenda part # AM31985 for a radial tire or part # AM31233 for a bias tire. Radials are better if you'll be doing more highway traveling and bias are better for off-road applications like agricultural.
If you don't already have a suspension kit then I recommend checking out the Trailer Hanger Kit # APS4 and Leaf Spring # e84SR which is the standard setup for a 2,000 lb axle.
Attached are a handful of videos and helpful articles for you to check out.
