Solid Upgrade from Previous Axle

Replaced a worn Chinese-made axle with this Dexter. Immediate improvement in stability and braking. No play in hubs after install. The steel thickness makes a noticeable difference under load.

Well-Packaged and Ready to Weld

Arrived with protective caps and no dents. Measured HF at 81.02"—close enough. Spring seats fit snug on the tube. Welded them at 74" for my tandem spacing. Everything aligned perfectly.

Durable and Corrosion-Resistant

Lives in a coastal area, so rust is a concern. The powder coat has held up great so far—even after washing down salt spray. No pitting or flaking. Strong build, precise hub alignment. Confident in long-term use.

Exactly What My Design Needed

Needed an 81" HF axle with no SC restriction. This gave me full control over suspension layout. Beam is thick-walled and rigid. I primed and painted it myself—adhered perfectly. Will definitely buy again.

High-Quality Raw Component

This isn’t a finished axle, and that’s a good thing. Came clean, straight, and ready for custom work. Used my own alignment jig—held true throughout welding. Dexter’s specs are consistent. Professional-grade blank.
