Review of TruRyde Trailer Spindles - Standard Spindle - TRU59FR Video

The 4-Leaf Slipper Spring w/ Radius End for 2,000-lb Trailer Axles #e69SR should be compressed ~2" under a 1,000 lb load which would make the "F" measurement ~1 3/4" with the 1,000 lb load. This is based on a formula to find…

Since the tongue of your trailer flares out you could just cut a piece of wood to match the angle of the flare to square up the tongue and then clamp-on the etrailer Round/Wheeled Swivel Jack #e79CR. If the trailer stays outside a majority of the…

Anytime that a spindle is starting to take damage you will want to replace it as that will affect the performance of your bearings and seal. In this case since that chipping is right where the seal sits (as you mentioned) that will eat at the rubber…

Yes, that spindle does look too beat up to be usable. I attached a link to this page that has all of the spindles we carry. You would need to pick out the one that matches the axle capacity on your trailer. It looks like maybe a 2,200 or 2,000 lb…

To choose a compatible hub assembly for any spindle the key is knowing the inner and outer bearing part numbers, or if they are not available, precise dimensions of the spindle at the points where the bearings and grease seal ride. These points on…

A BT8 spindle would have a diameter of .99 of an inch where the bearings would both install and would have a diameter of 1.24 where the great seal would ride. That would require a hub part #AKIHUB-440-2-1K for an idler hub. A BTR spindle would have…

You can use springs with a lower capacity than your existing springs to help provide an easier ride for your PWC. The #SP-178275 springs are a great choice. It is important to keep in mind that going with a lower weight rated spring will reduce the…

The guy you were speaking with was telling the truth. If the Bearing Buddies are overfilled, you will indeed blow out the grease seal. The excessive pressure will push the grease out through the rubber portion of the seal. Using a double lip grease…

Replacing your boat trailer's wheel bearings and seals is easiest if you pull one of the hubs and remove the inner and outer bearings and grease seal. The part numbers for these items usually appear as shown in the linked photo, and knowing the…

Adding larger wheels/tires to a trailer really comes down to fender clearance. The recommended fender clearance is about 4" from the top of the tire to the bottom of the fender and then about 1" from the tire to the inside of the frame. The…

The exact replacement for the hub you have is the part #84545UC1-EZ. This will install on your spindle and has a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern like you need as well.
