I have a pair of 3500# Dexter Torflex axles. They are too narrow for

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.

Looks that way to me too , Larry . But if the picture is accurate the rubber
doesn't go all the way to the center . Cut it , insert some close-fitting
tube and weld it back together - taking care to keep the rubber area cooled
