2200 lb Single Axle Kit Idler 73/58 – Foundation Kit

Built around a 73″ hub face / 58″ spring center idler axle, this package includes the axle, leaf springs, U-bolt mounting hardware, and single axle hanger kit needed to establish the core suspension system for a light-duty trailer.

Features & Benefits

Essential Trailer Foundation

This kit includes the core axle and suspension components needed to establish the running gear foundation of a single axle trailer.

2,200 lb Idler Axle

The included 73/58 idler axle provides a dependable starting point for light-duty utility, cargo, and custom trailer applications.

Suspension Components Included

Leaf springs, U-bolt mounting hardware, and the single axle hanger kit are included so you can install the axle and suspension as a coordinated system.

Flexible Build Option

A Foundation Kit is ideal when you do not need a complete rolling or master package. It lets you source tires, wheels, fenders, lighting, towing hardware, and other components separately based on your specific build.

Great for New Builds or Repairs

Use it as the starting point for a new trailer fabrication project or as a convenient replacement package when rebuilding worn or damaged running gear.

Common Applications

• Lawn & Garden Trailers

Foundation Kit vs. Rolling Kit

The Foundation Kit includes the axle and suspension components needed to establish the trailer’s running gear.

If you also need items such as tires, wheels, fenders, coupler, jack, and safety chains, a Rolling Kit may be the better option. For an even more complete build package with lighting, wiring, hardware, and blueprints, consider a Master Kit.

Important Fitment Information

Please verify all trailer measurements before ordering.

• Hub Face: 73″
• Spring Center: 58″
• Axle Capacity: 2,200 lbs
• Axle Type: Idler / Non-Braking

The 2,200 lb axle rating does not automatically mean the completed trailer is rated for 2,200 lbs of payload. Final trailer capacity and legal GVWR depend on the completed trailer design and the lowest-rated component in the assembly.
