rdgent,

I had called Dexter right after purchasing #1869 second-hand in Feb '07--Ms Bachman answers all email with good information. There is no doubt the axles on my trailer are 7000 items--it is stamped/painted on them in several places.

I stopped by DRV last week when getting the tires/wheels picked up--I got a copy of the original Build Sheet. It lists the larger 12.25x 3 3/8 brakes, but makes no mention of the axles. And the 7k were standard when this one was built. I was sure hoping that due to the brake option, the axles were bigger, but no. Apparently, you can get just about any combination that DRV wants to put under the trailers.

Wish your were correct in this.

Joe
