Howdy,
I am going to build an off road camper trailer inspired by the UEV440 & T-Van type. Trying to determine what axles to get.
I will be towing with mainly 2008 FJ Cruiser so I want to use the same track width (63.2") and the same wheels/bolt pattern (6x5.5).
I have had two axle places tell me that pattern isn't made, & the track width either.
???
Got two quotes from others:
One about $76e with 3500 lb axle, Electric brakes, ez lube hubs, 2k lb double eye springs, 63.25 HF & 46"SC. HGR 104 hanger kit, AP122 hardware kit, Shock Mounts, and shocks.
$720 for #10 Torflex Tortion Axle w electric brakes, etc same as above-no springs...
The other quoted me $470 for 64" hub face to hub face, 10" hub, brakes, springs, u bolts, tie plate, upper shock mount, shocks, axle hanger kit.
Any advice on this?
What about tortion axles-any good? Seems like they will fail under overlanding use.
This is a bit frustrating. Any easier way to get the correct axle?
Thanks
