We installed Bulldogs this year.

We can fit a 1/2 ton pickup in our garage, would have to measure to be sure a larger pickup would fit.

Update: My original spare tire was shorter, 215/60R/16 on hull #75. Other 2015 & 2016 LE2's reported so far have 215/70R/16 (taller) spare tires. I had to move the spare tire mount up 7/16" for the new (taller) 225/75R/15E spare tire (standard on new LE2's) to fit correctly in my original spare tire fiberglass housing. It's possible that folks with the taller original spare tire might not have move the spare tire mount up, but I recommend trying a 225/75R/15 first before buying one. Oliver should have them at the plant, I'm in North Carolina and happy to use my spare tire to see if it will fit on your trailer without modifications if you're in the Charlotte NC area. Made four plugs from a piece of hard plastic board (kitchen cutting board) to fill the empty 7/16" slots above the mounting bolts to keep spare tire wheel mount from moving downward in transit. Used a hacksaw to cut the plugs out and a belt sander to shape the plugs and sand to same thickness as the aluminum mount plate. Also have a piece of UHMW plastic board I could have used, but the cutting board was closer to the correct thickness and should be fine. 🙂

Good advice posted above! We had an older Furrion unit (Hull #75) when the Furrion's DVD player starter acting up. Ours was out of warranty. Eventually found an RV surplus dealer on Ebay that had an exact replacement new unit on the shelf.

That would be very convenient if Oliver will order your axles! Please post your axle build sheet when you get it! I can update the list, if needed.

Chris, Oliver could still upgrade your Ollie if they ordered axles according to your specific serial numbered axles, probably SC 50" (axle spring center), Dexter's axle lead time of 3 to 3 1/2 weeks for special orders, if Oliver would agree to this. Hope you don't mind me thinking out loud, 🙂

Mossey, I only looked at one axle and assumed 🫤 they had two different SN's, never thought two axles would have same serial number. 😐 Will check my axle SN's during the first part of August, making one more modification to the F-150 before towing Ollie during the first part of August.

Can you take a photo of the Dexter label on one of your axles & post or let me know if the SC is 50 or 50.5 and if axle is 3500lb or 5200lb capacity. What year is your Ollie? Check out the Dexter label photo in Mountainman198's first post in this thread. Thanks,

David, You have me looking at this, too. If you buy one, want to see how your system works!

Updated

I will change it to 50” Thanks,

LE2 (Dexter axle spring center) SC & weight capacity specifications, from information gathered, looks like only 2015 & 2016 LE2's axles have SC of 50” (so far) It was not my intention to start a list, but this will keep info organized. 2010 LE2 #45 SC 50.5" 5200lbs 2015 LE2 #75 SC 50” 5200lb 2016 LE2 #110 SC 50” 3500lb (Gathered from info Chris posted) 2016 LE2 # 113 SC 50 “ 3500lb 2017 LE2 # 208 SC 50.5" 3500lb 2017 LE2 # 226 SC 50.5” 5200lb 2021 LE2 # 898 SC 50.5" 3500lb Please correct me if I have your LE2 info wrong

Thanks, Looks like some of the 2015 & 2016 LE2s have 3500lb & 5200lb axles with spring centers of 50.0".

Another thing I wondering about, if the axle SC spec did not change from 2015/2016 to 2017, there could have been enough fabrication tolerance (Oliver welded axle mount) to allow the 50.5" to fit, just a thought for now.

Art, Do you recall if the axles you removed were SC 50.0" or 50.5"? Thanks,

John, Yes If you are going to order, I know you will check the specs & cost with Dexter first and what is or is not included. I cannot speak to bearings, new or old style, the Dexter distributor can answer this. Dexter 3" U bolts are 1/2" and off the shelf 5 leaf springs are 1 3/4" wide. Not current on Alcan spring replacement specs. Springs, mounting hardware, EZ flex, handling & shipping are extra. I looked up the Dexter distributor for my zip code on the Dexter website and called them, Redneck Trailer Lincolnton, NC to get the information I posted above. Also posted the build sheet for one of my axles earlier in this thread.

Just spoke to Dexter to learn axle assembly availability for two (2015 & 2016) LE2 Ollies. If I ordered today an exact replacement 5200 pound axle assembly with hubs, brakes (no springs) for our 2015 Oliver #75 LE2, axle serial number 211277561, it would be a special order with lead time of 3 to 3 1/2 weeks for $795 retail. If John (jd1923) ordered an exact replacement 3500 pound axle for his 2016 Oliver #113 LE2, axle serial number 211298115, it would be a special order with lead time of 3 to 3 1/2 weeks for $561 retail. I do not have a copy of John's axle serial number build sheet to know what parts are included.

Going to call Dexter tomorrow to see if the 5200lb is available with our HF (hub face) 68.75" and SC (spring center) 50.0" specs off the shelf or if ordered how long of a lead time is needed. Will see.

Our original Dexter 5200lb axles built in 2014 installed by Oliver have HF (hub face) 68.75" and SC (spring center) 50.0". There is a difference, SC 50.0" older Dexter axle on our LE2 and SC 50.5" newer Dexter 5200lb axles on LE2s, overall difference of 1/2" or 1/4" per side. Our axles were originally for an LE1, but Oliver ran out of 3500lb axles and installed LE1 5200lb axles instead, as mentioned previously. See shop order notes below:

Art, Understand there has not been any Dexter 5 leaf spring failures, yet. 🙂 Feel fortunate that Oliver installed the 5200lb axles and 5 leaf springs on our 2015 LE2 # 75. We used to support a fleet of industrial mobile machines (before retirement) equipped with hydraulic, pneumatic, electrical, mechanical, and electronic equipment. We supported the field technicians trying to make life easier for them with parts stocked and durability. We standardized hydraulic pumps used as much as possible and air compressor/hydraulic motors so folks in the field and rebuild shop would needed less parts that worked on more machine applications, point is well taken on standardizing parts when possible. 👍

John, Our # 75 LE2 received 5200lb axles with 5 leaf springs (originally for a Legacy Elite) because Oliver ran out of 3500lb axles with 4 leaf springs during manufacture of our Ollie. The 5200lb axles have larger drum brakes, too. We are not the original owners, but learned this information on this forum. Off the shelf Dexter axle/brake/spring parts are available for our Ollie and I have always liked the fact they put higher capacity axles on our Ollie during manufacture. I would be happy to take more bracket photos, measurements and compare with your photos/measurements, if needed. Here's our center hangar:
