Dexstar Tires and Wheels - Wheel Only - AM20535 Review Video

I am happy to try to help you find a bearing kit for your Bix Tex trailer. Unfortunately we are not able to recommend a bearing kit based off of just the axle capacity. One way to find out your bearing sizes would be to have a Bix Tex dealership run…

Dexter Nev-R-Lube Bearings such as the 50MM #31-71-3 referenced in your question do not have a specific maintenance or replacement schedule. These are pre-lubricated at the factory, which will make it resistant to contamination, and sealed for life…

The torque for the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 6,000-lb and 7,000-lb Axles - 12" - 5 Spoke Utility #8-174-5UC3 is not specified by the manufacturer. For 9/16 inch studs, the typical lug nut torque will be 120-140 ft lbs based on most…

I'd recommend the 3-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 4,000-lb Trailer Axles part #e57SR which measure 25-1/4" long and have a bit more capacity than your standard 3,500 lb spring so they won't wear out as fast. This means you must also replace…

Using the Shackle Bolt with Locknut for Double-Eye Springs - 3" Long, part #166081, indicates that your leaf springs are 1-3/4". If that is the case, the bushings you need have an inner diameter of 9/16" and an outer diameter of…

You can replace your current springs with higher capacity springs, like #e57SR which are rated for 4,000 pound axles (2,000 pounds per spring), but it isn't going to increase the weight capacity of your trailer. You'll still be limited by the…

The ML-042-00 springs you got do not have the capacity your 2016 Gulf Stream requires. Those springs are only rated for a 3,500lbs capacity. I recommend replacing those springs with the correct 4,000LB Springs #e57SR so you will not have the springs…

If the leaf spring part #e57SR that you referenced matches up dimensionally to what your trailer has and has a capacity that is 400 lbs more than needed it would work just fine. Having a bit extra capacity for the leaf springs would not cause an…

The importance of matching a wheel's pilot hole diameter to the part of the hub that fits through it depends on the type of wheel. A hub-centric wheel uses the pilot hole to center the wheel on the hub and also to bear some of the total weight…

The appropriate torque spec for any application will vary depending on the construction of the wheel as well as on the stud size. I suggest checking the wheels you're using to see if their manufacturer has a suggested torque rating. Steel trailer…

You can do this but you'd need to use a diode installed on the circuit so that the switched power won't backfeed onto the vehicle reverse lights. So what you can do is wire both the reverse light circuit and the switched power source to the…

We do have a wide variety of 15" trailer wheels that have a 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern that I have linked for you to filter through. Most of these have a pilot hole with a diameter that is about 4.25" wide, but then we do have some…
