UH -OH axle experts?
Got around to readying my axles for install, I think I did not get what I ordered. You that are in the know, can you let me know if this is a low profile reverse mount? Thanks!

Looks like a reverse mount, 10 inch brakes. Not sure what you mean by "low profile", though.

Are you sure because the mount is opposite of the way it should be oriented? I don't think it is reversed.

On a reverse shouldn`t the flat side be on the outside,my GT bolts in from the outside of the frame requiring the mount pictured to be reversed.Dave

Exactly, hoping somebody has a pic of some that they installed so I can be sure. Bought these in October and just now getting around to installing. Then again...maybe not!

Silverhoot,
What do the currently installed axles look like?

OK your flange is on the outside,that is what you need on the new axle,not what you have.Dave

Looks like you have a problem. I would have a talk with the company you ordered the new axle from.

Also, look at the distance between the flange and the "arm."

Is it a Dexter, Axis, or Henschen?

Take a look at the Application Manual on the Dexter website. That is not a reverse orientation flange and won't work (at least on the 70s models I am familiar with). Also, any reason you don't have a shock bracket? Some people don't know they are a Dexter factory option.

I did not know I could get a shock bracket from Dexter. Have heard the shocks really don't do a lot, especially with tandem, so did not deal with it. Maybe if they have to remake the axles I can have them add it. Shock mount option is not on Dexter's order form, so I'm not sure how I would get it oriented exactly as needed.

In Dexter language it's called "Top Shock Brackets per E-1501"

You know your trailer had 12" brakes, why the change to 10"? and yes your braket is facing the wrong way.

It looks like you have a "high" profile mount, as it appears that the axle has a starting angle of 45 degrees.
What weight rating did you receive?
