Lippert VU000111382 3,500 lb Drop Trailer Axle with Electric Brakes & Springs - 95"Hub Face / 78" Spring Center (Underslung)



Product Overview

The Lippert VU000111382 is a 3,500 lb capacity drop trailer axle assembly, engineered to provide improved trailer stability and a lower center of gravity. This complete kit includes adjustable electric brakes, hub/drum assemblies, and leaf springs, making it an ideal solution for both new trailer builds and axle replacements.

The drop axle design lowers the frame height compared to a straight axle, improving handling and making loading easier - especially beneficial for cargo, utility, and equipment trailers.

Configured with an underslung spring setup (springs mounted under the axle), this axle maintains proper geometry while still offering the advantages of a lowered ride height from the drop design.

With a 95-inch hub face and 78-inch spring center, it fits a variety of wider trailer applications requiring stable tracking and proper weight distribution.

Hitch Warehouse Tip

A drop axle lowers your trailer, but combining it with an underslung setup raises it slightly back up - so always measure your final ride height before ordering.

If you’re replacing a straight axle with a drop axle, expect a noticeable difference in loading height and towing stability.

Always recheck fender clearance and tire size after installation - especially on wider setups like a 95" hub face.
