Can Straight Trailer Axle be Flipped
Updated 08/15/2025 | Published 07/19/2025
Question:
Can a straight over slung axle be used as underslung, since the axle is straight? I understand it would need new spring seats welded on if the axle hat camber Thanks, Scottie

If it truly was a straight axle without any bow built into it I don't see why it wouldn't work but that's pretty unusual to see so we don't have a lot of experience with axles like that.

Hey Scottie, did you find out if your axle was truly straight and able to be used as underslung? I'm curious because it could help others who have similar questions about their axles.
