Cutting Dexter Torflex axle

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 .

OK, but I wouldn't trust the illustration. And close-fitting tubing can be tough to find, depending on the axle tubing thickness.

Besides, I'd want a drop-bed-style axle to ground the load on my trailer. The only way to fly.
