So I got my hands on a Bantam T3C from a fellow expo member http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/129506-Bantam-T3-C-trailer
and I would like to swap out the axle to accommodate matching wheels and tires for my rig. I've never owned a trailer before much less messed with an axle swap. I've been googling every which way for a few days and have been unable to answer my questions so I figured I would ask for help.
My measurements on the existing axle are 36" center spring to spring, and 49.5" hub to hub. And the pattern looks like 5x5.5. That sound about right to you all?
I'd like a new axle to fit my wheels which are 16x7.5's 38mm(1.5") offset, 6" back spacing, 6x5.5 pattern with 315/75R16 BFG AT/KO's.
My question is what/ how/ where should I order from. I don't need brakes, just want to keep it a simple straight axle with idler hubs. And is it possible to order one With the bearings/hubs already Installed?
It also looks like I have the original 10 leafs, and would like to put new leaf springs on as well. What kind and where can I find some?
Thank you for any help you can offer
