Torsion Axle Articulation
We are replacing the leaf axles with Dexter #11 Torflex axles. I am trying to understand the start angle i need to order. I was looking at an unloaded Myco, & it looked like it had maybe a +10deg angle. Besides maybe fender height issues, is there any advantage/disadvantage to the the different angles; -45, -22.5, -10, 0, +10, +22.5 ?

It is a steel trailer, & for the most part pretty much a complete new build. i wasn't sure if for ride quality, etc if a certain degree was better than another.

I don't know either I'll do some research and post anything I find relevant. I was thinking how a conversion would work on my Myco. I'd have to build some kind of spacer to make up for the springs or raise the fenders. Post some pics if you go through with it.

Yeah they have a great site, that's where i have been gathering all my info. I think i have everything i need to place the order except my hub face measurement. So going to have to figure out way to get this from the current trailer.

Yes, 22.5* When I switched to custom 6000# torsion axles, this was the best pricing I found on axles. 2 drop shipped for $120.
