Trailer axle problem

[Greg Hill]

After a little research and several conversations with Dexter I am going to replace my axles with a new torsion axle from dexter that is designed for triple axle trailers. Also I'm going to 8k axles instead of 7k. If you look on Dexters web site they plainly say that they do not recommend torsion axles for triple axle trailers. In 2011 they came up with a new torsion axle, the T series, designed for triple axle trailers. These new axles are larger diameter tubes and also thicker tubes. Dexter was extremely helpful helping me work through this problem even giving me a special price on my new axles. I was lucky because I have disc brakes with 8k hubs so my hubs and brakes transfer with no problem. If any of you have this problem I would recommend you contact Connie Massey at Dexter in Elkhart, In. because she is very familiar with this situation. Dexter also recommended a place to install my new axles in Goshen, In. which is being done Sept. 12.
