New Axles

Redwood got new Dexter axles & springs yesterday. I went with 4,000 lb. springs on a 7k axle but has the wall thickness of an 8k axle with a 3" tube. Big advantage is you get the wall thickness of an 8k but still able to utilize the existing 7k braking system.

    I feel the axles may be a bit light for our new TT. I might upgrade them someday if I have issues.


    Scott,
    Ron owns Performance Trailer Braking... He is who sold me my Titan Disc Brake System... Great after sale service to anyone wanting to upgrade...That is one thing he does not need support with, That and tires.. !!
