All ActivityMost RecentMost LikesSolutionsNew AxlesRedwood 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.Re: New Disc BrakesThere are many trailers with shock absorbers that the caliper must be mounted this way. The Shock/Mounts interfere with the caliper positioning. Titan was bought by Dexter Axle in Nov. 2015 and according to Dexter engineers the clocking of the caliper will have no performance difference or adverse effects. All of Titan Documentation is in process of being revised and this will be part of the new documentation.Re: Disc BrakesThanks for all the kind comments.Re: Goodyear MarathonsI have sold 100's of Sailun Tires and have yet to see a single complaint. On most trailers you want max air pressure that the tire & wheel will handle. Reason is you want reserve load capacity of 20%+ on your trailer tires, just like you have on your pickup, passenger and SUV tires. A load range G with a 3,750 load capacity would have 20% reserve capacity with a tire load of 3,000 lbs.Re: Never Lube BearingsBefore you spend a lot of money having Nev R Lube bearings installed consider a Disc Brake Conversion Kit for $1950 that has the bearings already pressed into the new integrated Rotor/Hub assembly.
