How to Choose Replacement Axle for Lowe's 5x8 Trailer
Question:
Thanks for the info. The measurement for A, hub face to hub face, is 71” and B, leaf center to leaf center, is ~58.5”. I’ll look to see what y’all have that could work. Thanks for your time.

I'd be more than happy to help you out!
If you can measure the hub-face and spring-center measurements of your current axle that will help me know what you're needing. For example, the etrailer Trailer Axle with Idler Hubs # e65GR has a hub-face measurement of 89" and a spring-center measurement of 74" (see attached).
