Location: Barnesville, Ga. | I recently purchased a new trailer with 7K lb axles and now on my first trip I had a blow out. I went and weighed right after at the cat scales and it said there was 13,860#'s on the trailer axles. I was light at the time, now I am concerned about the longevity/durablity of the dexter axles. I think I was undersold. When I am loaded and tote water with me I know I will be several hundered pounds overweight. Why do manufacturers do this? The tires that came on the trailer are 14 ply and are overrated for the axles. What can I do? |
