How To Measure your Trailer Axle:

**Spring Center (SC)

measure from center of one spring the center of the other spring on the same axle. If you are alone, you can hook the tape measure on the outside of one spring and pull down the axle to the inside of the other spring on the same trailer axle. this will also give you the spring center measurment. 

**Hub Face (HF)

measure from where the studs pretrude out of the hub to the other side of the axle where the studs come out of the hub.

you can also measure from center of the tire to the other center of tire and this will give you a great idea of what you have. or if its dual wheels where the two wheels but up together.

remember the most important measurement is the spring center to center. the hub face can very a little but the spring center measurment needs to be exact
