Dear friends

I found one place, named Northern Tool for axles..

Can any of you pros recommend a full axle and short stubb axle for
a 4x 8 Kit tear from there.. Id like to get an ajustable one for height.

And one for a 5 x 8

Both not exceeding 750 Kilo or 1650 pounds in weight and brakeless.

here is the website....

...which do you want????? :thinking: ...would shipping the stubbies be cheaper/simpler/easier...stubbies require additional construction/engineering for installation over a fullalxe...the full axle torsion axles act as a crossmember as well...the stubbies are less expensive BUT once again that cost is somewhat offset by the need for extra framing...those choices/decisions will havvta be made by you...AND you will havvta decide on body measurments, wheel sizes/offsets and other factors, since these axles are custom made when ordered..
