Trailer Axles for Dunlap customers
Replacement and custom-built trailer axles for Dunlap customers, sourced from Dexter Group or built locally to your exact specifications. Bring the spec plate, the old axle, or the trailer itself - we measure, match, and deliver. Standard configurations ship the same day; custom builds turn around in 3 to 7 business days.
What we see from the Dunlap market
Dunlap is residential and family-oriented, and the trailer mix reflects that. Boat trailers, small enclosed cargo trailers, motorcycle and ATV trailers, and a steady stream of utility trailers are typical. The convenience of our location means many Dunlap customers walk in for parts and schedule service the same week.
Dunlap residents sometimes assume the local big-box auto-parts store is the right place for trailer parts. It's not. Trailer hubs, bearings, and brakes are spec'd differently from automotive equivalents, and getting the wrong part costs you a return trip. Drop into our shop instead - same drive time, right parts the first time.

Trailer Axles in Dunlap - frequently asked questions
Can you build a custom trailer axle for a Dunlap, IN customer?+
Yes - non-standard lengths, unusual hub faces, and specific brake configurations are routine work. Provide a drawing, photos of the existing axle, or bring the trailer in. Most custom builds for Dunlap, IN customers turn around in 3 to 7 business days.
How do I measure a trailer axle for replacement?+
Measure the hub face to hub face dimension, the spring center distance, the bolt pattern (count studs and measure across), and photograph the spec plate. We'll match the configuration. Dunlap, IN customers can email photos before the trip and we'll quote ahead.
What capacity trailer axle do I need?+
Match the axle to your real loaded weight, not your factory GVWR plate. We'll inspect the trailer, ask about typical load, and recommend a capacity with appropriate margin. Undersized axles fail; oversized ones are wasted money - we steer between.
