Re: How To Identify Type of Axel on Cyclone
Don't believe the labels. We ordered 8k axles on our Bighorn and they are labeled 7k.
I had the Dexter rep (at the national rally) verify the 8 k axles with 8k springs and the larger brakes.
You can go to Dexter website and get the O.D. spec. on the 7 k axle and measure yours with a micrometer when doing your pdi.
You can get a cheap plastic tool for measuring outside and inside diameters of pipes at lowes / home depot or northern tool.
If 7k is on your build sheet it likely will be, but I would check anyway.
(you can have Heartland (not your dealer) e-mail you a copy of the build sheet showing what was ordered and what they intend to build)
