Location: Eau Claire, WI | Anyone ever upgraded their trailer with these?
I have an enclosed trailer that I use to pull the gear around for the band I play with. Trailer is only two years old but I am considering upgrading the hubs to the liqua-lube system as the trailer gets loaded heavy and I am using it regularly. I had this type of system on my previous boat trailers and loved it...
Wondering your experiences with the upgrade / aftermarket product?
Thanks,

Thanks Steve I appreciate it. I will check into it. Single axle trailer with $35k in band gear going down the road.... The other 4 in the band would not be please if my trailer had an issue and we had equipment laying in ditch. |

Location: Waukesha, WI | I changed my Shorelander over to these. They worked fine in the year and a half I used them. That boat/trailer isn't mine any longer. I would swear I got another mile per gallon better over grease while towing.

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | Oil bath lube systems do allow for less friction in the bearing sets, which could help mileage a bit. If the trailer companies out there had used a standard spindle and bearing set, I believe Liqua Lube would be on most of the trailers out there. |

| I checked and the parts are $99.95 per axle. If you a handy guy you could do the install yourself. |

| Has anyone put these on a Eagle trailer? My boat dealers says they won't fit a Eagle. But I don't think he sells them eaithr. |
