How to Find the Length of a 3,500 lbs Dexter Torsion Axle
Question:
Is there a formula to derive the track measurement from a tip to tip LOA on a 3500# Dexter torsion axle with #84 spindles? I want to say it is as easy as subtracting 5inch from the tip to tip, but that just.seems too easy.

I just want to make sure when you say track measurement, you mean the center to center distance between the tires. Another industry term for this measurement is the Hub Face measurement.
The best way is to measure from tip-of-spindle to tip-of-spindle and subtract 4-3/8" and that will give you the hub face measurement on Dexter torsion axles. Another way is to measure the brake flanges outside to outside and add 6-3/4" and that will give you the results.
