1500 lb Flexride torsion axle??? Can't seem to find on net

Does Flexride make a 1500 lb torsion axle?

I'm trying to decide how to go, looking into Flexride, Dexter, and Reliable.

Is one better than the other?

Not sure about Flexride, but Dexter will derate axles for you. You can get a 2000lb axle and have them derate it to 1500lbs.

The smallest Flexiride full beam axle can have its capacity set from 1400 to 2000 pounds, so that'll do 1500 fine.

Call or e-mail this guy at UCF. They do Fexiride axles and Jacques will work with you. I last ordered from him a little over 9 months ago...who knows what may have changed since them.

I bought a 1500lb axle from Dexter about two years ago. Call them or check the web site.
