Newbie with a axle question.

What's the weight difference between a 2000 lb vs. 3500 lb axle as far as the actual weight of the axle itself goes? That make sense? :thinking:

Don't know for shure, but I think they are probably pretty close to each other. They use longer or more rubber tubes in the axles to rate them higher.
