Grand Design now using Dexter axles on Imagine. And...
And a new slide design. I learned this on the GD facebook group. This is a big consideration if you're looking at an Imagine as we are.

I believe that Lippert bought Dexter a while ago.
No matter. I have owned both brands of axles. The only real difference is that Lippert powder coats theirs and Dexter just uses paint.
Everything else looks identical to me. I bet the bearings, races brakes etc. are interchangable... Maybe even the same exact stuff.
I now own Lippert and prefer it by a small margin. Just because of the powder coat.
Some of the Dexter options are better, like their HD shackle kit. And some of the lippert options are better like their never fail bushings.
I think the rubber shock absorbing equalizers are a wash. I buy the one that has the best price or the one that fits the best. I believe that the Lippert ones have more sizes and weight ratings available.
