Ok I have followed the instructions to the T and am getting annoyed now.. This is my second axle delivery that is the wrong size from Dexter Axle and there service is absolutely terrible…………………..Anybody have a better place to buy a dexter axle other than through Dexter Axle. A vendor. Here is what I am working on. Its an old popup trailer that I stripped down 5 years ago and converted into a wood hauler with a 1700lb axle. The axle mounts are 55 1/4" but in reality there held on with a frame plate on each side bolted in. I have been trying to order a leaf spring axle 3500lb to use instead of the torsion due to cost and I want it taller. The measurement I sent for the spring center was 53.125" and they said no prob. Now I have a second axle with the center at 60" again. I called they said no you told us 60". Actually it doesn't need to be dexter but they come highly recommended for quality and look very well made. I am losing my mind today. Sorry for the rant.
What a hassle Pete. Kinda saps some of the fun outa your hauler project. Hang in there. Gotta be somebody out there who can get an order straight...
Redneck is OK, but for the last year or so we've used Rockwell/ Quality trailer. Good service and inventory. edit- www.rockwellamerican.com
Well I called a ton of places but all needed to custom measure in person. Redneck actually found a place who will build one custom for me about 8 miles away. The total was 173.50 for a 3500 lb leaf spring setup with mounting hardware. I am very happy with that! Thanks guys.
6 Roblees here is where I get trailer running gear parts. I just got the axles I needed, some purches and did some welding.
