How to measure your trailer axle:
Spring Center:
Measure from center of one spring to center of the other spring on the same axle. If you are alone and have no friends like myself, you can hook the tape measure of the outside of one spring and pull down the axle to the inside of the other spring on the same axle
Hub Face:
You can measure from center tire to center tire to get a pretty good idea of your hub face measurement.
You can take the tires off the axle and measure from one hub where the studs pretrude out from the hub to the other hub on the same axle.
***Note: the hub face measurement can vary a little bit but the spring center measurement needs to be exact or you will have a difficult time installing the trailer axles.
***We also sell the axles with the spring pads not welded on so you can put them where ever you want.
