Sinker Posted July 6, 2011 Report Posted July 6, 2011 Terry, I got an EZ lube axle with hubs and bearings for a good price from Eastons. They are out of the way for you, but I think the axle was built somewhere closer to you. Maybe give them a call and see what they say?? My axle is awesome, and worth every penny. You need a hub face to hub face measurement, as well as the spring center meassurement. What is the capacity of your axle now? When I replaced mine, it was an up grade to a heavier axle. It came with all the hardware to install it as well. Good guys, and great product. Wouldn't hurt to give them a shout and ask. I had mine custom built and delivered in 3 days.

Terry Posted July 6, 2011 Author Report Posted July 6, 2011 I had the jack between the trailer hitch and the axle bending it strait was the idea when both back wheels were off the ground and it didn't move one bit I knew it was hopeless
mercman Posted July 6, 2011 Report Posted July 6, 2011 How in the name of Gawd, did it get bent like that Terry? Amost as if someone dropped the trailer from a high place
Terry Posted July 6, 2011 Author Report Posted July 6, 2011 no the bow wasn't going up on the trailer it was bent towards the back of the boat it got caught on something in the water at the ramp I just thought it was a rock infront of a wheel so I put the diesel in 4x4 low and slowly drove out I didn't feel a thing....damn torque and power of a diesel...LOL
Terry Posted July 7, 2011 Author Report Posted July 7, 2011 test drive:dunno: LOL I need to get new caps for the bearings first tires
