Features & Benefits

Essential Trailer Foundation

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

The included 95/80 idler axle provides a dependable starting point for medium-duty utility, cargo, landscape, and custom trailer applications.

The axle features a 95-inch hub face and 80-inch spring center, making critical fitment measurements easy to verify before installation.

Suspension Components Included

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

Flexible Build Option

A Foundation Kit gives you the freedom to choose your own tires, wheels, fenders, coupler, jack, lighting, wiring, and other components based on the needs of your specific trailer.

Great for New Builds or Repairs

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 tires, wheels, fenders, coupler, jack, and safety chains, a Rolling Kit may be the better option. For a more complete package with blueprints, lighting, wiring, gate hardware, and additional fabrication components, consider a Master Kit.

Important Fitment Information

Please verify all trailer measurements before ordering.

• Hub Face: 95″
• Spring Center: 80″
• Axle Capacity: 3,500 lbs
• Axle Type: Idler / Non-Braking

The 3,500 lb axle rating does not automatically mean the completed trailer is rated for 3,500 lbs of payload. Final trailer capacity and legal GVWR depend on the completed trailer design and the lowest-rated component in the assembly.
