Dexter Trailer Axle with Electric Brakes Review Video

It sounds like you're trying to find a replacement axle for your trailer. In order to do that you'll want to also take into account the width of the tires/wheels you intend to use, along with the spindle length. With this in mind, you will…

You can still use axle #T3584F-EZ-8974 if the spring seat centers match up like you said. The hub face to hub face measurement is only off 1/2 inch on each side which isn't going to cause you any problems.

The three most common lug stud sizes for a trailer are 1/2"-20, 9/16"-18, and 5/8"-18. In order to make sure you get the correct lug nuts you need to measure the lug studs on the trailer now as we have no way to look this up for…

It sounds like the 6K might be referring to 6,000 pounds although I cannot be 100 percent sure on that. I could tell you for sure if you could tell me the inner and outer bearing numbers stamped in to the bearings. A 7K axle will use inner bearing…

The leaf spring center measurement is really not as important as the hub face measurement since you are building a car trailer with fenders. I do recommend the Dexter Trailer Axle w/ Electric Brakes #7359765-EB as it is an EZ lube axle that comes…

To determine the location for the front and rear hangers on your tandem axle trailer you will first need to make sure that you have the correct center point for your equalizer hanger. The center point of your equalizer hanger needs to be located…

I have another option for you, but the closest standard axle we offer to your 86-1/2" hub face to hub face measurement is the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with EZ-Lube Spindles - 89" Long - 3,500 lbs #T3584F-EZ-8974 which measures 89" hub…
