There are dealers all over the US. We get ours from John's Trailers INC. in Ohio.
Don't compare the Reliables to these. In the industry Reliable axle is considered a oxymoron. My advice is to stay away from those.
Flexiride does not have the low rated axles. Henschen does though. These are also very high quality axles.

Hi Cary,
Thanks for the info. Do you have a web address for John's Trailers?
After buying a set of half axles from "Reliable", I'm not impressed. The hubs are poorly machined, with sharp edges. They supplied dust caps that are just about impossible to install without totally mangling it. Their bearings were "pre-packed" and it looked like someone wiped grease around the bearing and dropped it in the hub. Live and learn. I should have asked this question before I bought.
In case this is something new, I thought you might find this bit of info interesting on the UCF site about low rated axles.
"Half axles are sold directly by UCF Flexiride in capacities from 660 lbs. to 3,500 lbs., with or without idler hubs, hydraulic or electric brakes."
Thanks to everybody for the info...
Dan
