Recommended 95" 3,500LB Drop Axle For a Tandem Axle Trailer Build
Question:
Great, thanks for the recommendation Bud! That suspension kit looks much better. I am now considering up-sizing to 95" axles. From what i see, my best three options are: 1. Etrailer e45SR 2. Dexter 7685269-EB 3. Dexter nev-r-just (7685269 + 84546UC3 + 23-468-469) I assume that your previous recommendations still apply to these longer axles? Are the Dexter axles worth the extra $200 per axle?

Dexter is a great company and provide a made in the USA product. It really depends on your preference and how long you plan on keeping the trailer. I am a build it right the first time kinda guy so I would go with 2 Dexter Axle # 7685269, 4 Hubs # 84546UC3-EZ and 2 of the Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake kits # 23-468-469.
