Not wanting to derail Eric's thread. I have been very impressed with the service you provided Eric on his axlel replacement. I'm looking to replace my spring type axels soon.
My question, do you stock a axle that will fit my trailer frame. The outside of the axel "carrige" is 58.5". This is a '75 model Gator That is a duel axle. I assume to get a shipping quote I would need to call. I've already got your're # in the phone.
Thanks

Looks promising to me as well. I sent Kevin a PM to make sure it was OK to open the flood gates to calls from the THT'er.. :grin:\\\

Sorry I haven’t had time to check in lately. Please feel free to give us a call if you have any questions.
A few things you will need to know when ordering torsion axles.
1. Frame width. Measure the width of your frame from outside to outside of the I-beam frame.
2. Track. Face of the hub to the face of the hub as seen below.
3. Capacity. If you are unsure of what capacity axles you have, let us know if you have 5 ,6 or 8 lug hubs and also let us know what boat you have.
4. Most torsion axles used to replace spring axles on an aluminum trailer take either a 22 or 45 degree down torsion arms. Most of the time if we know the brand of trailer you have, we can make that decision for you.
