Hello from Hagersville, Ontario, Can.

[Rickc]

I’ve been following the forum for a couple of weeks now and decided to jump in with both feet. Yesterday I bought my hitch for the car. I’m building the Cub or the Grumman for 2. I can get a 3500lb. axle and springs for $179.00. Would this cause me grief, with damage after the trailer is built because of the stiffness? Your opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Rick

to the playground Rick. Sounds like a good price however---it is over the top unless you are building real big..

You can remove springs to deal with the stiffness but why pull all that weight around.

Good luck and I bet the experts will be in here momentarily.

Now don't forget the Gotta keep the bubble oil level.

Hi Rick,

Welcome to the forum...

I believe the 3500# axle was discussed just recently. Let me see if I can find the thread...

Mike...

Edit: there is a lot of discussion on 3500# axles, but this seems to be a good one...

Rick...you can get the 3500# axle and put whatever springs you want on it. I use that axle with a 4" drop on all of my tears. Spring it how you want. Doug
