Trailer Axles Lippert VS Dexter
I own about 10 trailers with various builds and new trailer axles swapped under a few of them due to damaged axles under second hand abused trailers. My go it is Dexter, but I have bought used 30 year old axles and no name hubs to run those axles too! I did buy a Lippert 8000 pound torsion axle for $350 from a scrapper that bought out a closed trailer builder. That axle new retail would be $2000, and from my experience with it so far, I am happy. Big thing to consider is a cambered trailer axle is prefered to non cambered for tire wear purposes. Additionally, it does not matter what brand axle if you don’t perform proper maintenance and upkeep none will survive.
