Default Re: Lift Axle??

The Wedico lift axle is quite inferior. You wouldn't want it, even if you had a Wedico truck to install it on. I had a Wedico lift axle and ended up selling it for one of my own design. To make your own lift axle is not that difficult. There are a lot of good self-made, scratchbuilt designs out there. You just need to look around the site a little. Some designs you will see are more complex, and other quite simple. It depends on what tools and equipment you have available. I went a little extreme, with my design. Here is a link to some photos of it. You don't have to go this wild to get a good functional lift axle, but just to give you some other ideas. Mine is still not quite finished, but it's getting there. All I need is a lift mechanism, which I have all figured out in my head
