Review of Dexter Axle Trailer Axles - Leaf Spring Suspension - 8327820 Video

Moving a trailer axle from being overslung to underslung really isn't a big ordeal. It's basically just welding on a new spring seat on the other side of the axle and then using the hardware upside down. We sell kits for this. The…

It really just depends on what you are looking to get out of the bushings. Bronze bushings, like part #K71-291-00, will last longer but are more noisy and it is recommended to use wet bolts like part #126B2 to keep them lubricated. Nylon bushings,…

The Tekonsha Prodigy P3 #90195 has the ability to show a few different voltages when your vehicle is parked. The first option is your tow vehicle battery voltage which should be at least 12V if not more. The second is output power from the stoplight…

If the hubs have a screw in type wheel stud, you can use Trailer Hub Wheel Stud, #25-11. These are 9/16 by 3 inches (total length). The threaded part for the lug nuts is 1-9/16 inches long which may not be enough for your new alloy wheels. It is a…

The Dexter axle part #8327820 could only fit your trailer if you installed new spring seats on it since it has spring seat centers at 74 inches and your trailer has them at 71.5. For new spring seats you'd want the #TRSS300 welded at the correct…
