GVWR 10500 Lb
GAWR 5080lb each
Tires ST225/75R15 D Planning to upgrade to goodyear E range
Axles Dexter 184357 5200lb
Now simply eyeballing the axles from the back as it sits in my driveway, you can see the front axle clearly has the upward bend. The rear has a little of it but pretty flat. Now, my driveway is on a slope so the camper is sitting slopped toward the back a bit, not sure if that matters. However, the rear tires do indeed have a lot more inside wear. Fronts have it a little but rears are much worse
So my question is, should I upgrade to 6000lb axles and the load range E tires? I have rear 50/50 on updating springs at the same time. Some say no need and others say yes. Thoughts on that?
Finally, can I replace the axle beam only or should I replace it with the 6 lugs on the end, and is TK decent or should I stick with Dexter?? $100 difference per axle as shown here https://thetrailerpartsoutlet.com/collections/6k-trailer-axles/products/6k-dexter-trailer-axle-6000-lb-beam-only
Thanks again all!
