Can I Use the Dexter 3500-lbs Axle with Overslung Suspension
Question:
Will the dexter 3500# axle with the slight upward curve work with a trailer that has had the axles flipped for more clearance?

Expert Reply:
Yes. The Dexter Trailer Axle with Idler Hubs - 5 on 4-1/2 Bolt Pattern - 89" Long - 3,500 lbs # 35545I-ST-89 will work with a trailer that has moved the leaf spring suspension to over the axles. Typically an axle has a slight bend in it because of the weight that it's going to bear, and will flatten out completely and be level to the ground. This won't affect the suspension that can be used with it.
I've linked our entire selection of 3500-lbs axles for you to have a look at as well in case you're looking for something different.
