Although DexKo Global (Dexter) has acquired most of the larger axle manufacturers, such as AL-KO and Quality, there are still many of these axles out in the field, including other brands such as Lippert. The parts for these axles have not been standardized, so there is no interchanging of components between these brands. There are some off-shore replacement components for some of these brands that reduce the cost of purchasing replacement parts.
Common configurations of 10k GD (general duty) spring axles are a 77” hub face & 46” spring centers or a 74” hub face & 44” spring centers. They are also generally underslung (springs mounted under the axle) and feature a 5” diameter axle beam. Please note that these dimensions can vary and it is always important to measure an axle to ensure proper fit.
Axle beams (customer reuses existing brakes & drums) available upon request.
