Some of our Painted Steel Trailer Axles come with Pre-Mounted Spring Seats for specific measurements. The Axles listed without pre-mounted spring seats will include the spring seats for you, the customer to weld to your specific measurements. It is very important that you do not weld your spring seats outside the range listed. Using an axle to long may cause a leverage issue, leading to pre-mature bending or damaging to the ends of the axle. An axle that is to short will cause the tires to rub on the frame of the trailer.

Spring Seats Are Not Welded to the Axle (But Are Included) - Spring Seats need to be Welded on the Axle with the Centers measuring between 76" - 78". Using Spring Centers outside this range will effect the strength and fit of the axle on the trailer. If you need to find a better fit axle check our other listings or contact us for assistance.
