Colin Hyde’s info is online if you google it. Good luck!
My Inland axles came with shock mounts welded on, although the welds looked like a child had done them.

Inland RV set this pattern of customer service years ago. I had a Hell of an ordeal with them over an axle purchase that was incorrect and I was accused of theft from them ! Avoid "Andy & Co. (Inland Pirates Inc. ) at all costs ! You will end up saving money too ! I ended up ordering from the very pleasant Colin after having my purchase hijacked and held back for months and months. It was criminal how I was treated and falsely accused. They are not trustworthy at that establishment.

Colin-
Since you are on this thread, I have to tell you that Ellen did a fantastic job getting my axles to me. There were shipping problems and she got things straightened out. Very happy dealing with her. And I enjoy the podcast!
