Location: Roseville, CA | Does anyone know who makes the axles on late model Featherlites? The manual refers to Dexter but not for all models. Thanks! |

My mistake, I didn't realize he had changed companies. I still think he would be your best bet on here for finding out though.

Location: Highmore, SD | I think Lonny is with Universal Trailer Company now. If you look at his logo with his screen name it says UTC, not Featherlite. |

All of FL's standard axles are Dexter Torflex. The only way that this might not be the case is if it were a special request on a custom order. |

I'm pretty sure they are Dexter axles. Lonny is your best bet ...he helped someone on here the other day find a centercap for there Featherlite trailer. He gave them an 800#. How is the weather down in Roseville today....HOT I bet! I used to live in Auburn just up the road. Check out this thread... http://www.horsetrailerworld.com/forum/thread-view.asp?threadid=5120

I didn't custom order so I guess thats what they are. I was hoping they were Dexter as I've heard good things about them and suppliers are common. |
