well picked these up today. been looking for a set for a bit now, there the same as what I'm runnin now but my breaks are shot on mine. 150 a axle to replace the breaks got all of these for 100. hope the brakes are good or better than mine. my plan is that the deck is in need of replacement. so I'm thinking of adding a 4 foot dove tail and a 3rd axle so I don't have to worry about overloading the tires. sooo... do you think that running 3 axles would be ok? I never have before so its a new thing to me. and have 3 brake axles is to much or should I do 2 and a tag axle? also I'm looking for 5 on 5.5 wheels 6 or 7 wide x R15 wagon spoke preferably  |

Way more then I ever would have thought. I never had an issue with my two axle setup but I've blown both middle tires on my tripple axle and the tires are over rated for the weight load. I'm not sure if it's just fluke but I'm sure the tires were in like new shape and were at the correct tire pressure before each of them blew. In short.. I'm not happy with a tripple axle setup... |

Your middle tires shouldn't have any more problems then other one.in fact your middle tires should last longer on tread wear due to middle tires swivel and not get drug around when turning. So I don't know what's going on with yours.I own a semi trailer repair shop we put recaps on center axle and new tires on front and rear axle due to how they wear while turning.

well I think this is going to happen. got some metal ordered from work to add on. axles look great, brakes look brand new other than some rust from sitting. grease in the barring's looks brand new and the seals as well. The ubolts are the only thing that I think will have to be replaced the treads are rusted off so as soon as they come apart there not going to go back together well. now I just need to brake em down clean them up and paint them. I will chip away at it bit by bit till I get everything ready for the rebuild, late winter or early spring. trailer cant be down for long.  also picked up these off CL, 4 for 60 bucks, now I got 6 for the trailer and 3 spares.  |

only other thing is im spring under right now, these are set up for spring over, not a prob to switch but I could leave it and lift the trailer. that would make my fenders lower, maybe even flush with the deck. and the dove tail should help compensate for the height. hmmmmm .....
