• Replacement Options for Dexter Axle P-15 3,500 Lb
  I do have some replacement options for a Dexter 3,500 lb axle but this will be dependent on the hub face and spring center dimensions. The Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with EZ-Lube Spindles part # T3584F-EZ-8974 has an 89" hub face and a 74" spring center. The Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with EZ-Lube Spindles part # 7359765 has an 95" hub face and a 80" spring center. These are the two pre-built options we have available so if either match you will be able to reuse your existing hubs/drums as...

• Dexter Trailer Axle Measurements on 89 Inch Axle
  The Dexter Trailer Axle # T3584F-EZ-8974 measures 89 inches from hub face to hub face. The flange-to-flange measurement is 82-5/8 inches. As long as the Dexter axle has the same capacity as the Lippert axle and the same hub face and spring center measurements, it will not be a problem to have them both on the same trailer. Lippert and Dexter axles are very similar and even use the same bearing numbers. I have attached a diagram showing where to measure for the hub face and spring...

• How To Measure To Replace Bent Trailer Axle
  It is normal for a round axle to have somewhat of a bow pointing up in the center such as the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with EZ-Lube Spindles part # T3584F-EZ-8974 so that it can flatten out under a load. However if you trailer axle is bent somewhere else, bent down or bent up more than the accompanying photo then you will need to replace it to avoid uneven tire and suspension wear. There is not really a way to adjust it. To replace the axle you would need to measure from hub face to...

• Replacement Trailer Axle With 89 Inch Hub Flange To Hub Flange Measurement
  In order to replace your trailer axle you can use the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with EZ-Lube Spindles part # T3584F-EZ-8974 for a 3,500 lb capacity, part # 8327820 for a 5,200 lb weight capacity, or part # 8327830 for a 6,000 lb weight capacity.

• How to Determine Which Replacement Axle is Needed for 1979 Avion Travel Trailer
  In order to determine which replacement axle is needed for your 1979 Avion Travel Trailer, we will need to know the axle's weight capacity as well as the spring center and hub face measurements.

• Finding a Replacement 3,500 Lb Axle
  Based on your bearing numbers and grease seal, you have a 3,500 lb axle.

• 3,500 lbs. Axle with Hydraulic Drum Brakes Kit
  I have a solution for you but unfortunately we do not carry any axles that come with hydraulic brakes. What you will need to do is buy the parts separately, but I have all the parts you will need.

This axle is 89" long with a weight capacity of 3,500 lbs. which is the same as the # 35545E-ST-EZ-89 Dexter Axle you were looking at. For your Hydraulic Trailer Brake Assemblies you will want...

• How To Find Right Location To Install Center Equalizer Hangers On 18 Ft Tandem Trailer
  There are a couple ways to determine where to place the center equalizer hanger on your trailer. The best way to find the right location is to find a trailer with the setup already installed and measure the locations of the hangers. The second way is to use the formula shown on the attached picture. You can adjust the location of the center hangers based on the tongue weight as the formula shows. Since there are so many different possibilities with the type trailers and what they...

• Will Changing Travel Trailer Axle Increase the Trailers Overall Weight Capacity
  We do offer axle beams alone and also complete axle kits that include hub/drums, brakes etc. All can be viewed by clicking on the included link. I also was unable to find a cross-reference for your axle number 4330537. This may be a production code rather than a part number. You can certainly change out your axle to a higher-rated part, such as the 3500-lb-rated Dexter part # T3584F-EZ-8974, but this will NOT necessarily increase your trailer's capacity. The trailer's frame design and...

• How Can You Determine Axle Load Capacity on a Dexter Axle
  I reached out to my contact at Dexter and based on your serial number, they can't really narrow it down. It is an older axle that was produced in a plant that has since been closed. All they can tell me is that it is between 2K and 8K capacity because it came from that plant. Do you have a GVWR sticker on your trailer? Does it have brakes if so are they 10 inch or 12? We can get really close with this info if not confirm load rating. Another way to narrow it down is with spindle...

• Replacement Axle for 1981 Wells Cargo Enclosed Trailer That Shows Uneven Tire Wear
  Uneven tire wear can indicate any of several problem conditions. If a tire tread surface wears on its outside edges more than it does in the middle of the tread then this generally indicates under-inflation. If it wears more in the middle than on the sides this indicates over-inflation. If the two tires on an axle both have more wear on the inside edges of the tread then this usually signals that the trailer has been overloaded. A bent spindle is of course another possibility. We do...

• Replacement Axle for 1994 Stratos Boat Trailer 89 Inches Hub Face to Hub Face
  We don't carry the 2x2 inch square axle in that length. We carry the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with EZ-Lube Spindles - 89" Long - 3,500 lbs # T3584F-EZ-8974 which is the comparable round axle which will work just fine. You simply will use the U-Bolt Kit for Mounting 3,500-lb, Round Trailer Axles - 5-1/2" Long U-Bolts # APUBR-1 to mount to the springs. This axle has spring seats 74 inches on center so I recommend measuring your spring centers to confirm fit.

• Axle Replacement For Tracker Trailstar Trailer
  It sounds like you have a different size axle than anything we carry. The closest we have is the Dexter Trailer Axle w/ Electric Brakes - E-Z Lube - 6 on 5-1/2 Bolt Pattern - 86-1/2" - 5.2K # 8327816-EB which has spring centers at 71-1/2 inches on center. This is a larger capacity than the 3500 lb system you asked from, but is a better fit with your measurements. If that won't work for you, then I recommend the universal Timbren Axle-Less system that has the integrated suspension....

• Axle Recommendation with 74 inch Spring Center Dimensions
  Of the axles that we carry the part # T3584F-EZ-8974 that you referenced would be the closest one we carry to what you would need. The spring center measurement is the same at 74 inches. The issues is that this axle measures 89 inches from hub face to hub face so it would be 2 inches shorter than what you currently have. If the wheels and tires could be an inch closer to the frame on your trailer on either side without causing interference this axle would work well for you. Otherwise...

• Can 89" Inch Hub to Hub Axle Length be Used in Place of 88" Axle if Spring Seat Distance is the Same
  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.

• Where Do I Position My New Trailer Axle?
  When positioning a trailer axle or adding an additional axle, the key is to make sure that the axles are located in just the right position so that roughly 10 to 15 percent of the total trailer weight is placed on the tongue. Finding the correct axle location can take some trial and error, so it is best to mock up the locations for all the suspension components until you know everything is in the right spot. I have a diagram and a help article attached that will show you how to recalculate...

• Full Axle vs Spindle Replacement for 2012 Forest River Stealth Toy Hauler
  Thank you for the photo of your Stealth toy hauler trailer's damaged spindle. Based on the deep scoring on the spindle it certainly does appear that this hub suffered a catastrophic bearing failure that in turn took out your spindle. You can replace your 3500-lb Lippert axle with another brand or you can have new spindles welded on. If you prefer a new 3500-lb axle you can refer to the linked page that displays our available options such as # T3584F-EZ-8974. This is a Dexter axle...

• Should Trailer Axle Have Slight Upward Bend
  You did not specify which way your axle was bent, but a trailer axle such as the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam # T3584F-EZ-8974 should have a slight upward bend, as you should be able to see in the accompanying photo of this axle installed. The reason for this is because the axle will flatten out when it is under a load. If yours does not look similar it may have been installed incorrectly or you may have another suspension issue so I recommend taking your trailer to a local trailer repair shop...

• Replacement Dexter Axle for Travel Trailer
  So long as your current axle has a hub-face-to-hub-face length of 89" and spring-center-to-spring-center length of 74" you could replace your current axle with the Dexter # 35545I-EZ-89, although moving your brakes over would require you remove the idler hubs from this axle and get new hubs, so it doesn't make a lot of sense. Instead, I recommend getting the Dexter EZ-Lube Axle With Electric Brakes # 35545E-ST-EZ-89, which comes with all of the parts you'll need - the axle, hub and...

• Can the Spring Perches of Trailer Axles Get Moved
  Moving the spring perches on the trailer axle part # T3584F-EZ-8974 that you referenced wouldn't affect the weight capacity of the axle. Especially since you aren't moving them that far. I attached an install video for this axle for you to check out as well.

• Recommended Replacement 3,500 lb Axle for Carson Trailer with 88" Hub-Face and 74" Spring-Center
  We do have a replacement 3,500 lb axle for your Carlson trailer as well as hubs that fit your description. The axles that we carry have an 89" hub-face and 74" spring-center measurements so since the hub-face dimensions are only 1" off of what you measured these will work well for your application. I'm pretty sure that your axle has the 89" hub-face measurement as that is extremely common (and measuring the hub-face is a little difficult) but even if our axle hub-face is 1" wider there...

• Trailer Axle Replacement for 2015 KZ RV Spree Escape 200 with 65-1/2 Inch Spring Centers
  It does sound like you either have a bent axle since your wheels are pointing inward at the top. It sounds like an overloading issue caused this because with water you stated your weight is well above the max capacity of 3,500 lbs. The axle and springs would be rated for the same capacities so springs and axle need replaced. You can increase the axle capacity, but that doesn't account for the other components like the frame, the coupler, springs, etc. that may also be rated for that...

• Dexter 3500-lb Beam Axle with 2-3/8-Inch Diameter and 74-Inch Spring Centers
  We carry beam trailer axles up to the 3500-lb rating and with the dimensions most commonly used on recreational trailers. Dexter idler axle kit # 35545I-EZ-89, for example, is a 3500-lb-rated EZ-Lube axle with 74-inch spring centers and an 89-inch hub face dimension. Axle diameter is 2-3/8-inches and spindle size is indeed 1-1/16-inch. The same axle with spindles but without hubs is part # T3584F-EZ-8974.

• Replacement Axle for a 1994 Jayco Eagle 8 with Dexter Axle
  It sounds like you will need a 2,000 pound axle. We do not carry the torsion straight axles though. We do have axle-less systems that work the same as torsion axles. I have included a link to them for you to view. The great thing about the axle-less systems, besides the better ground clearance, is that you don't have to have a specific axle length and in your case you would not have to add suspension components like you likely would if you went to a straight axle.
