Recommended 2,000 Lb Trailer Axle with Brakes for Small Trailer  

A brake axle would have brakes, either electric or hydraulic drum or disc brakes while an idler hub would have no brakes. Many times, a tandem axle trailer will have one braking axle and one idler axle. The 3500 lb capacity #35545I-EZ-89 axle you…

We don't offer a 3500 lb axle with that short of a hub face dimension. You might be able to order a custom axle locally, but we don't ship custom axles. Timbren offers an Axle-Less suspension system that would eliminate the need for the axle…

Technically yes, if you were replacing idler hubs, as long as the inner/outer bearing, grease seal AND wheel bolt pattern match, there's nothing that prevents you from using a 3,500 lb axle hub, like #84545BX on a 2,000 lb axle. If the bearings…

It's definitely possible to upgrade a trailer's axle rating to a higher rating by just swapping the axles. To pick out the correct axle you'll need to measure the distance between the hub faces and the spring seat centers and you'll…

The Dexter Trailer Axle Kit #20545I-EZ-72-10 comes with two idler hubs that have a 5-on-4-1/2-inch wheel bolt pattern. The surface of the hub that contacts the wheel, the hub flange, is flat and measures 5-1/2-inches in diameter. Please see the…

We do have a nice selection of Dexter 3,500 pound axles available but in order to determine if we have one that matches the length on your current 2,000 pound model you will need to take a couple measurements. Unfortunately the Dexter model…

Yes, you can switch from a 14-inch tire and wheel combo to a 15-inch tire and wheel combo, so long as your new wheel has the same bolt pattern, and you have the space to fit the larger wheel and tire. For example, if you had the Provider ST205/75R14…

While trailer axles do feature an upward bend like you are describing, there isn't a particular amount/measurement that is standard across the board. This bend in the axle is designed so that it will straighten under a trailer's loaded…

A 2,000 lb trailer axle like the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam part #T20BTR-7258 is not going to come equipped from the manufacturer with a brake mounting flange because of the weight of the trailer it is designed to be used on. However, most qualified…

Load range D has a capacity of 1,220 lbs at 65 psi, whereas load range E has a capacity of 1,520 lbs at 80 psi. Basically the only difference between the two is the weight capacity. With trailer tires you always want to have them inflated to their…

I would recommend Dexter Torflex axles the highest for torsion axles. And then put Al Ko and Lippert at about the same in quality. I was searching around online and the common consensus among the trailering forums is that the Dexter axles are…

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.
