Replacement Trailer Axle For 5' X 8' Ironton Trailer With 15" Diameter Wheels and Tires
Question:
Good morning, I have a 5 x 8 Ironton trailer that the axel broke and the wheel fell off. I need a replacement axel but i am away with the military and I am not able to make any measurements on the trailer. I am looking for some assistance and advice on what is the best axel to use to replace the stock one. I would like to have at least 2,000 lbs capacity to be safe. I am also using 15inch upgraded wheels. I really appreciate any assistance with this.

Based on the Dimensions of the 5'x8' Ironton trailer you are most likely to need the Trailer Axle with Idler Hubs # e37YR. This axle places the hub faces at 72" which is 6 inches wider than the bed size of your utility trailer. The spring center to spring center is 58" and if this does not exactly match your trailer you can weld 2 new Seats # TRSS175 on the axle. We do have the U-Bolt Kit # CE23000 to mount the axle to your leaf springs. This axle includes 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern idler hubs which are compatible with 13" to 15" diameter wheels like you upgraded to.
