[QUOTE="safetyfast, post: 394216, member: 16564"] Replaced axle and hubs with 3500lb dexter units last night. Getting the old bolts off was fun. The nuts had been welded to the bolts. Only cause concern is that tires have a slight negative camber. I think it's because my spring mounts are a little bit narrower than what dexter spec says. Can't be helped since that's where springs mount to trailer. I knew that going in and is why I decided on 3500lb axle even though boat and trailer should be well under 2000lbs. I figure if I'm getting uneven wear on tires, I can weld some angle iron to the center to straighten it out.
