Your photo of your Jayco pop-up does appear to show a corroded outer roller bearing along with your 5.70-8 tire and 4-on-4 wheel, such as # AM30153 and the similar items shown on the linked page. Your size wheel/tire is usually found on an axle rated for 2000-lbs, like the complete Dexter axle/hub kit # 20440I-ST-60 for example. This this axle weight rating usually uses either bearing # L44643 or # L44649 but due to the condition of your bearings it will be just about impossible to accurately identify them.

I recommend you replace your entire axle since it is quite likely your spindles and hubs have also been damaged and/or corroded like the bearing. If you measure the space between your leaf springs you'll know which kit to use. If your leaf spring centers are 48-inches apart use axle/hub # 20440I-EZ-60; if they are 58-inches apart use kit # 20440I-EZ-72. Please refer to the linked diagram.

These axle/hub kits will accept your 4-on-4 wheels but based on their condition for your safety I suggest replacing them too with # AM30153.

I have a solution for you, but we do not have any 12 inch, 4 lug tire and wheel combos that will allow you to exceed the GVWR of your pop-up camper. The only 12 inch trailer tire we offer that will allow you to exceed your trailer's GVWR is the…

Answer 3

I forwarded the info you sent to Dexter and they were able to determine that your 2005 Jayco Jay Series 1006 pop up has Dexter #9 Torflex axles so for a lift kit you'd want the part #K71-723-01. This will give you a lift of 2-5/8 inches.

Unfortunately Atwood was bought out and replacement parts have been discontinued. For your trailer, I recommend switching over to electric brakes as you mentioned so you can keep your coupler which will work well for the non-braking connection. Based…

Answer 5

I did some research and it looks like the 1997 Jayco folding trailer used lug bolts that are 1/2" with a 13/16" head. The Redline wheel bolts you referenced #RG02-020, should work for your application.

The closest matching trailer taillight we offer to what you mentioned is the part #STL0016RB for the passenger side and part #STL0017RB for the driver side. These are both 8-5/8" x 2-7/8".

First you will need to remove the old hydraulic equipment. Remove the surge coupler or actuator, remove all the lines, and finally remove the brake assemblies. If you have 10 inch diameter hub and drums, you may need to replace those as well. If you…

All of that is not necessary. All you have to do is lock out the surge coupler so it cannot move in and out or disconnect the brake lines. By removing the old coupler you would have to remove the brake lines any way. A surge coupler can still be used…

Answer 12

The correct replacement hub will depend on your bearings. All of our 4 on 4 hubs use a #L44643 inner and outer bearing or #L44649 inner and outer bearing. You will need to look for part numbers on your existing bearings or measure the inner diameter.…
