I just ordered 2 complete 5200 lb axles. The sales rep at redneck trailer advises me dexter now sells what's called a 6000 lb light and a 6000 lb heavy. The light is actually what used to be called the 5200. The difference is the thickness of the axle tube wall. The bearings and brakes are essensially the same. I got the ez lube axles which I was told was standard nowdays. The out the door price was $581 for both axles assembled with brakes and my custom spring perch 68.5. Will be 2 weeks till they arive which gives plenty of time to figure out which springs to get. He recommended PR5 springs rated at 2900 lbs each but I think that's overkill for a trailer with 8750 gvwr. The step down is a pr4 which is 2400 rating each.
