Re: [VAL] Dexter axles and shocks



From my understanding the Dexter Axle is a torsion spring.  They still need 
shocks.  A day without shocks would be a day without sunshine.  Shocks 
dampen vibration that occurs with any spring system, linear or torsion (like 
a wound up rubber band).   Properly tuned shocks are even better for your 
particular weight class.  You will get better info from others.  :)
