I'd like to see some more pics myself. I built a swingout carrier for mine and when hooked up to my Jeep trailer it can be a major pain in the rear to get in the back when something breaks.
This might be something to look at down the road assuming it continues to hold up as well as it has for...
I haven't looked at mine since I installed it a year ago. It's not a dd but dang those things are clogged like crazy. I'm gonna have to check mine out before the next trip. I had no idea they would clog so fast...
Your wrong sorry man. Who is the mfg? I let the facts speak for themselves. Check out any DOMESTIC axle mfg web site and then you will be informed. That's why I posted a link to dexter. They are the industry standard. If there was 5200 5 lug axle then you would have 5 lug wheels with that...
Once again you are mistaken. Yes you can go heavier on the axle tube but it does not increase the capacity of the axle. The weak link is still the small spindle which is still 3500 lb rated. Not like I haven't been in this business for the last 16 years or anything...:gee:
You are mistaken sir, there is quite a difference between the two. The components are not interchangeable. You can have 6 lug on a 3500 lb axle also. www.dexteraxle.com will clear anything up for the op.
The wheel bearings on the 3500# are alot smaller then your 5200# axles... Pull it apart first to see what is needed. A complete brake assembly can be had for 75 bucks (domestic) import can be had for 40 bucks...
If replacing axles go with dexter be carefully with the import guys...
This is a mod that I plan on doing this winter, do you have to trim your doors at all with the placement of your new rockers? I have seen some that do and some that don't....
