I have a pair of 3500# Dexter Torflex axles. They are too narrow for
the trailer frame I would like to mount them under. Has anyone
successfully cut and lengthened the tube. I don't know how far the
rubber extends into the axle tube.


https://www.storesonlinepro.com/stor...page/249824203 I did an image
search for "Dexter Torflex Axle" and that was one result . Looks like if you
cut it right in the center you can widen it .


I'd certainly check with Dexter before cutting one. It sounds to me
that the rubber is -suspending- the regular torsion bars.
