It's a sad state of affairs when the OE manufacturers use barely adequate, or inadequate equipment, and then won't back it up. Going to be pretty hard for us consumers to get them to change though, because so many of the companies do it.
Having said that, if the trailer were mine, I'd go ahead and pay for the correct axles myself, and pursue getting FR to pay me back later, with an understanding that it's not likely to happen.
Life is short, and some of these kinds of issues just need to be put behind us so we can get on with it. My opinion only.... I'm sure some will come on here now and call me names, and blame me for supporting bad behavior of the OE's and the dealers. Whatever....those guys want to fight it out with the dealer, have at it.... I'm going traveling.
Bottom line is for the OP is that we know for certain, before buying another trailer in the future, he will crawl around under it and take a close look see at the axles. Live and learn.
