I am looking to change out the 4 wheels on my trailer to budd type with 16" tires. I have 2 Dexter 7,000# each axles with the moble home type rims. Is there any conversion kits available for the change out? I am thinking like change out the brake drums for the simple way of life.
Those utility axles aren't so bad if they are actually trailer axles and not from a mobile home (which supposedly had smaller bearings and brakes). I found that the price of tires killed me (and not being able to share a spare with my truck). Check out this site, and look in the Axle Components section: http://www.redneck-trailer.com/products2004.htm Great place for trailer parts and supplies. They are a wholesaler, but you can do walk in sales (or mail order). PM me if you are buying from them, and I can give you a commercial cash account number to save a few bucks.
