Dexter Over-Under Conversion Kit To Mount Dexter 5,200LB Axle # 8327816-EB In Overslung Position

Question:

Im looking for an 86.5 5200 lb axle with 12 drum, 6 bolt 5 1/2 hub, and overslung leaf mounts. I can only find axles with underslung leaf mount configurations. Im upgrading my trailer which has tandem 3500 lb axles with 5 bolt 14 wheels.

We do have the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit # K71-385-00 that will allow you to use an underslung axle on your trailer. The Dexter Trailer Axle w/ Electric Brakes # 8327816-EB is a 5,200lb axle. It includes 12" brakes and a 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern. As I mentioned previously the over-under kit will allow you to mount this axle in an overslung position without having to weld on new spring perches. The one kit is good for 1 axle so be sure to order 2 of the axle and conversion kits for your tandem axle trailer.
