I too want to do this, also with Dexters. I have heard 3200# capacity advised here for Overlanders, though my local Dexter guy said 3500# was common and just fine. That capacity axle seems to come in the #10 size- which if I understand correctly has 10" drums and brakes rather than the preferred 12". I understand 22 degree angle to be preferable to 45 degree (Andy), and apparently some folks have a riser on the mounting bracket to make the trailer ride a little higher. I'm trying to learn all this too- anxious to follow this thread and then confidently order new axles!
