My last axle search took me to AUS. :roll:

How, where do you "guys" buy these ( torsion axles ) from ?

Do I just go to an aircoled VW junk yard and pull one off ?

I'm building on a 4x8 HF trailer, and I'm in central Ohio. ( donno if that makes a difference. )

TIA.

Just click on 'Rich's List' at the top of the page and go to the 'Axles, springs, jacks' section! :o :D

...just to make your search a little more fruitful remember that an axel is something a figure skater does and and axle is something that a wheel goes around on :D

I bought a Flexride axle from WWW.etrailerpart.com . I believe it's the only torsion axle that you can adjust the height on.

I bought mine directly from flexride. I called to ask where I could buy locally and they said they had no dealers in Wisconsin, so they said I could buy from them. $50 cheaper than from etrailer. When I got my axle and read the label, it was made in Ohio. Without going out and crawling under my trailer I can not tell you the name of the manufacturer, but if you want to know I will look tomorrow.

Go to Redneck Trailer Supply right there in Columbus, that is where I got mine.
