Finally received new axles from Dexter and installed them. Then put new tires and wheels on the trailer. I like how they look.

Very nice. How much additional suspension and brake work did you have to do?

Razorback - Still a few more updates to do. Need to repair black drain line leak. Haven't tested water heater yet. Hope our first trip in this one will be to a Texas Tumbleweed rally in Kerrville TX 2nd week in December.

Out of curiosity, what was the total cost of your axle system?

New axles (3) custom made with new brakes, bearings and hubs complete were $3880 and took 5 weeks to receive from Dexter. Purchased trailer knowing it needed new axles and had budgeted $3500 estimate. I was close.
