Sourcing
Tandem Axle Suspension
Not leaf spring but rubber. 10k lb [1]. These go up to only 14k.
Axle or Kit
Hint: 3 axle x 7k is most cost effective, but this runs into the issue of difficult turning - rubber rips on short radius
- 21k triple axis with wheels and brakes $3600 [2]
- Note that 7k axles are $700, while 16k axles are $3700 - why the huge jump?
- Double axle kit is disproportionately expensive compared to triple. 20k lb double axle kit - $8.4k [3]
- 7k - $700 [4]. 7k with wheels $1100, includes electric brakes. [5]
- 15k - electric - $3200 [9].
- 15k - $2500 [10]
- 28k lb axle kit - dual tandem - [11]
- Base cost of $750 for 7k axle - no wheels or mount kit
- $3k for 14k trailer axle set. Electric brakes. [12]
- $1354 for 7k with brakes [13]
Kit - Wheels, Springs, Etc
- 35⁰0 lb cheapo axle $360 -[14]
