Flexiride also makes torsion axles, and they are angle-adjustable.
You could also have a shop convert your trailer to spring axles, and it would probably save you a bundle. Spring axles are cheap and springs are cheap, if they can weld some new mount points onto your frame. I had my cargo trailer converted like this (I damaged the torsion axle, it would have taken 3 weeks or more to get a replacement in, but the shop put on a spring axle in 2 days for 1/3 the cost.)
i had thought about trying to switch over to springs and called a couple of truck and spring dealers around and no one said that they would do it because of the liability issues which i can understand being a travel trailer....
also checked with sd trucking and another flexiride axles but they only carried the 1/2 axles by flexiride which are about a 100.00 cheaper but than i would have to hire someone to weld and modify the frame to accept the 1/2 axles. so by the time i pay for that it will probably cost much more than the 100.00. so maybe stay with the dexters...
but thanks for the suggestions and thanks to all for the help...
