Choose Your Axle Size (HF/SC Measurements)

Select the exact hub-face (HF) and spring-center (SC) measurements to match your trailer’s frame width, hanger spacing, and tire/fender clearance. Ensuring safe, stable towing and preventing issues like rubbing or misalignment.

Hub-Face (HF): Measured from the outer face of one hub to the outer face of the other (across the full axle length). Common hub-face sizes range from 61″ to 95″ for standard trailers.

Spring-Center (SC): Measured from the center of one spring seat to the center of the other. This aligns with your trailer’s spring hanger brackets. Typically your spring center is 2″ less then your frame width.
