While we do not carry Dexter TORFLEX axle we do have the Timbren Axle-Less options. Here is a list of some of the basic options without hubs.

Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System - Spindle Only - Regular Tires - 1,200 lbs # ASR1200S02
Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System - Spindle Only - Regular Tires - 2,000 lbs # ASR2000S01
Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System - Straight Spindle Only - 3,500 lbs # ASR3500S05

These use Timbren's AEON progressive-rate main springs to absorb road shock and support trailer's load. As I was unable to determine exactly what capacity your axle is if you can provide me with more details on what the axle goes on I can help you determine the best replacement option.
