Drop Spring Features and Capabilities
Blueswift Axle's 4-inch drop axle models blend practicality and innovation. Features and capabilities to note include:
- Loading ease: Drop spring axles will lower a trailer bed significantly, allowing you to engage in easier loading and unloading processes. This feature can be especially beneficial when handling bulky or heavy items.
- Enhanced stability: These axles have a lower center of gravity, leading to improved stability. This stability also reduces rollover risks and enhances trailer safety for highway or off-road traveling.
- Versatility: A significant advantage of drop spring axles is their versatility. You can accommodate flatbeds, utility trailers, dump trailers, enclosed trailers, and car haulers with drop spring axles, supporting your business or recreational trailer use.
- Increased durability: Blueswift Axles utilizes high-quality materials to custom-build trailer axles to suit customer needs. Our 7,000 lbs. drop spring axles feature a 3" tube with a ¼" thick wall. We also offer a 5-year warranty for additional peace of mind.
Maintenance and Installation of Drop Spring Axles
These axles streamline installation by offering two easy methods. You can install them with U-bolt kits or bolt-on installation. If you choose U-bolt kits, you can rely on Blueswift to provide tailored kits with all the hardware necessary for easy installation. These kits ensure precise fits for the axle, delivering peace of mind. Bolt-on installation is another user-friendly installation method. This approach does not require welding skills or tools. Either option makes regular maintenance or replacement processes easier.
Drop spring axles require regular maintenance, such as inspecting components and replacing worn or damaged elements. You must also verify proper alignment to ensure optimal handling and avoid uneven tire wear. These simple maintenance actions extend your axle's life span and promote trailer performance and safety.
7000 lbs. Drop Axle vs. Straight Spring Axle
Drop spring axles are a type of spring axle, but there are several differences between the two types. Here's what you need to know:
- Profile: Drop axles have a lower profile, making them ideal for low-clearance traveling and applications.
- Maintenance: Both types of axles require similar maintenance for optimal performance.
- Modifications: You may need to modify your trailer's suspension and frame to accommodate a drop axle.

Greg Chamberlain –
Very Friendly and helpful. They built an axle for me in record time and shipped it to where I lived in Florida. The price was right and it got me back on the road so I could finish our moving.
Will use them again if needed.
James Heinrich –
The axle was exactly what I ordered. They forgot to send the springs but shipped them as soon as I contacted them. I will buy from them again.

I was expecting a week for build and a week for shipping. I ordered them and they started on them the same day. Within a week I had the axels on the trailer and on the road. Excellent customer service. Would highly recommend to anyone.
