2,000 lb Hub & Drum Compatible With 13 Inch Wheels

Question:

Can you confirm for me that this hub/drum assembly can be used with 13 inch rims. In the description it says 10 inch or 12 inch but in the question sections it looks like they can be used with 13 and 14 inch rims as well. I just want to be sure these are big enough to use with 13 inch rims. Thanks

I was able to verify that we do have a hub and drum compatible with 13 inch wheels, but the Easy Grease Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for 2K Axles # AKHD-545-2-EZ-2K is only compatible with 10 inch or 12 inch wheels. Instead, what you will need is one from Dexter:

- Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for 2,000-lb E-Z Lube Axles # 8-257-5UC3-EZ

The # 8-257-5UC3-EZ uses the same bearings, races, and seal (which are included) as the Easy Grease, but is able to support wheels that are between 12 inches and 15 inches.
