In order to determine the torque rating for the lug nuts on your trailer you will need to know check out the chart I attached that shows all of the torque specs for all the trailer lugs available based on stud size, wheel material and wheel size.

Assuming your tires are in good shape without any bulges the easiest way to determine if you have a bent spindle is to take a straight edge that is longer than the tire and lay it across the tire parallel with your trailer frame and then measure…

Hey Roland, thanks for reaching out! Overslung axles are a special order situation and we unfortunately only have standard axles here at etrailer. With that being said, you can order a standard axle that meets your specs and then use the Dexter…

Hey Andrew, The CE Smith Trailer Axle Beam with Studded Hubs #CES84XR is a 1-1/2 inch square axle tube.

You can use leaf springs that are rated higher than the axle without any issues as long as they measure the correct measurement for your trailer. For example the 6-leaf double eye spring for 7,000 lb axles part #e64SR measures…

There really isn't a particular maximum trailer weight that is used to…

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…

Even though I cannot comment specifically on the grease you used because I am not familiar with it, I can tell you the best grease for trailer bearings is a a grease with a rating of GC-LB, which just means it is made to withstand very high…

It is certainly possible for any axle to wear out enough over time to need replacing. Since the suspension is built into a torsion axle if the suspension part was to wear out pretty much the only solution would be to replace the axle. If the…

The hub/drum/brake assembly components are a totally different size between a 3,500 lb axle and a 5,200 lb axle. You can easily swap to the 5,200 lb axle like the part #8327816 but you will need new hub/drums like the #8-201-5UC3-EZ which has a 12…

To find the load capacity for your axle you should look on the trailer VIN plate or sticker that lists the VIN number. The weight rating of the axle should be listed on that same plate or sticker. Also, the axle could have a tag or plate on it that…

Hello Julio, thanks for reaching out. The appropriate spring for your trailer will depend on the weight capacity of each axle. Ideally the springs will match the axle capacity. Like for example the 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring #DX45CR is rated for…
