I've recently acquired a tent trailer that I'm planning to upgrade the suspension for some off road travel. I am looking for a source for a 2k axle with 6 lug drums to fit my Tacoma wheels. Anyone have suggestions?

I'd like to find a good source too. My local supplier is expensive and not very helpful. There was a link I read on another thread (can't recall right now the name) but it looks like it is only a wholesale place. Not sure how to order from them. Looking forward to any info posted.

Several dealers on Ebay too!
I have bought many items from R & P off ebay, they will build custom axles.

ABC doesnt answer emails or phone calls so forget them. I am STILL trying to find measurements for my M416A1 axle. Agh. Makes me want to dump this sorry trailer and all of its pieces which are scattered around my garage.

Redneck supplies all types of axles, that would be my first choice. You can pretty much anything from them, and are reasonable

Do yourself a favor and go to Redneck's website, use the info on there, and call them.
I try to buy local when I can - I called a localish trailer parts place. I was waffling between a 2K and a 3.5K axle and needed help. It was clear the local place didn't want to talk to me and apparently didn't want my business. Maybe they thought I'd just order online after talking to them. That wasn't my plan. But they were no help.
I called Redneck. The nearest warehouse is about 3 hours away. The guy couldn't have been more helpful in wanting to understand what I wanted to do, and help me pick an axle, springs and mounts that would work for what I wanted. He spent more time on the phone with me than I could have hoped for. Shipping was reasonable.

Looks like REDNECK is the place to go!

I will check that place out but I don't have full spectrum of measurements for my axle. It's off site because it was going to be repaired but couldn't be...so I need known measurements to order a new one right now. It's an m416a1 which has a different axle than m416.
