I'm still wondering what Joy meant when he wrote:

This means detuning a standard 3500#s axle to the
weight
needed for the trailer.

Does this mean the spring rate of a Dexter axle can be adjusted below
the stated specification?  If yes, can this be done after installation
or is this something you must have done at the factory when the axle
is built?

Thanks,
