Which 3500lb axle for a M101A1

[EmersonHart13]

What is everyone spending on axles? I requested a quote from a Dexter dealer and over $600 seems a bit much for e brakes with parking brake 3in tube etc.

Specs:

Straight 3500#
60" hub to hub
43.25" spring center
Electric Brakes
Straight EZ Lube Spindle
6x139.7 or 6x5.5 bolt pattern
Spring Pads on top for 2" Springs
3" Tube Upgrade
Manual Parking Brakes
Inboard Shock Mounts

Base Axle:
Axle (109) + Brakes (148) = Base Axle ($257)
Options:
Axle (257) + 3" Tube (20) + Manual Brakes (40) + Shock Mounts (10) = Complete Axle ($327)

Looking to do this swap with mine as well...I have a JK and will be running JK wheels as well....how much weight do you think the axle swap shed? Rough estimate of the axle with brakes, 3" upgrade and parking brake levers too please?

iirc the budd wheels and NDS tires are 110 lbs each and the complete axle is probably 150 lbs.

With the new axle and aluminum wheels and decent tires30-50 pounds per wheel and maybe 100 on the axle.

I paid just over 300 for my axle at Nuera Trailer Parts. No parking brakes though.

Anyone have a pair of bow corners they are willing to part with? I need one more pair for mine.

I have all of the gates and bows that I took off of mine you are welcome to them. They are just sitting in my shed collecting dust. If I could figure out how to do pictures on here I would show you my trailer.

Well that failed miserably...

I may take you up on the bows and such if I don't hear back from a guy soon. Your trailer is looking nice.
