How to Convert 2K etrailer Trailer Axle with Idler Hubs to Overslung Configuration
Question:
Question on your Item # e82GR 2000lb trailer axle. Is there anyway to get it in a over slung configuration or will I need to get the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit to do it myself. Im looking at acquiring this for a lite off road diy tear build i am doing. Any help is appreciated.

The Trailer Axle with Idler Hubs # e82GR only comes in the underslung configuration. In order to place the springs on top of the axle you'll actually need to have a professional welder install the spring seat # TRSS175 on top of the axle as Dexter Axle only makes their conversion kit for 2-3/8" and 3" diameter axles.
If you're wanting the axle to come with the spring seats welded on top of the axle then you'll need to reach out to your local trailer shop or dealer to see if they'd be able to order one in this configuration for you.
