Is There a Difference in Quality between the Dexter and etrailer 7k Drop Axles
Question:
What is the difference between these two axles? I see one is manufactured by dexter and the other is etrailer brand. Is there a quality difference? Item 8327872 And Item e35GR Thanks

Helpful Expert Reply:
From a spec standpoint the Dexter 7k trailer axle part # 8327872 is exact same as the etrailer part # e35GR. Most would consider the Dexter axles to be the very top of the line in terms of quality but our etrailer brand is also a really solid option that is not lacking in quality.
If you wanted the peace of mind knowing you had the absolute best of the best I'd go with the Dexter based on reputation but if you wanted essentially the same thing at a better price I would lean towards the etrailer.
