Thanks for the kind thoughts - I know it is a bit of overkill, but don't want to worry about bending a tube again.
Dexter considers them 7K tubes down rated to 6K for my application, but I suspect the same tubes go to 8K or even more?
Whats good is the bearing and brake parts are easily available, unlike the smaller 10 by 2.5 or is it 2.25 on the 4400lb axles. I always travel with at least one complete set of bearings (cones and race) and several rear hub seals.Last edited by powerscol; 02-23-2023 at 09:00 PM.

Update
The axles arrived. I used Iron Bear. https://ironbeartrailer.com/ Talk to to Brad - he really knows his stuff. Dexter referred me to him.

You want to come help? I have my pallet forks for my tractor and a couple of HF dolly's I plan to make cradles for the axles to sit on to get in position. https://www.harborfreight.com/30-in-...t=58316&store=
I am building cribbing for a secure work situation to lift the trailer. If I get the cradles at the right height, I am hoping I can just swing the springs into position. I am also replacing the E-Z-Flex center sections with new.
Now if the weather would cooperate - snow tomorrow and lasting a few days.2018 Reflection 150 Series 220RK 5th wheel with 6K axle upgrade.

Trailer is now up on the cribbing. I will need to jack the axles a bit to remove the tires.

I would be concerned that with the light weight of the 5er that the axle will never get to the level point so the tires will wear on the outside. RV trailer axles flex with a load so the tires wear down the center.
