What Info is Needed to Pick Out Replacement Axle and Leaf Springs for Trailer
Question:
Hello. I am looking for the best option for 5200 or 6k pound axles without wheels and tires, with electric brakes. I do need springs and Ubolts.

When picking out an axle for a trailer you'll need to know the overall length of it from hub face to hub face as well as the distance between the spring seat centers to pick out correct size.
I also attached a link to a page with all of the axles we carry.
To pick out replacement leaf springs you would need to know the axle capacity and length of your current springs. I also attached a link to all of the 6k leaf springs we carry as well. Then for a U-bolt kit you would want the part # CE23003 which is designed for 3 inch axles.
