Complete axle

"The axle kit had everthing necessary for installation. All the parts came in good shape and overall the installation was fairly easy. You should know the kit does not come with directions, but there is an illustration on the box. Even so, directions with more illustrations for the overslung and underslung would have made me feel more confident of my work. Addtionally, I am sure there are necessary torque specifications, but those are not given so I torqued the nuts and bolts as tight as I could get. The project took me about 3 hours and everything is working great."

3500-lb axle kit

,
August 15, 2009
By JEL61256
from Villa Rica, GA
"This axle kit is excellent. I replaced a tubular axle on a boat trailer I bought in Florida. Every bolt was rusted and some had disintegrated. This kit was the only one I could find with a 92 inch width without going custom made. I had to replace the old splipper springs because they were shot and not available. The kit came with everything I needed at a very affordable price. I recommend this item to anyone."

"I needed a wider axle. This one is much better for my type of hauling. I don't use tandem units all the time. I have put together a wonderful 8x10 trailer with this unit. Griff"

Axle Kit 3500lb

"I had a verry hard time finding axles to fit my 1981 horse trailer. Your customer service reps were very helpful in helping me find a product that was suitable. They even faxed me drawings of the axels so I could get a better idea of what I was getting. I had to fabricate the axels a bit to 70" centers but otherwise I could use every bit of the kit. Thank you for all your help and I would definately recommend Northern Tool & Supply to friends and family in the future. Good job guys & gals!!!"

"I shopped around at many local trailer speciality stores and found they sell the same components at much higher prices. This kit allow you to get all you need and saves a good bit of money. You can put that money into buying better tires and rims. Hope this helps."
