Any constuctive thoughts concerning this 2004 Crossroads Cruiser with AL-KO axles are welcome.
We are about to purchase a new pair of DEXTER EZLUB AXLES and a EZ Flex Suspension Kit.
The reason is that we took out 1st 5,000 mile trip in 2008 with our new / used 2004 Cruiser only to find that we ruined the original tires. We were NOT overloaded. We replaced all the tires with a better tire (same weight class but higher rating& steel belted, fully inflated) These tires made it for 15,000 miles.
We called Crossroads to learn that the AL-KO axles should be replaced. Dexter Axles were suggested by others. The Dexter Dealer is close by and very helpful. (free shipping) They did suggest a 6,000 lb axle over the 5,200 lb axle and statedthat the hubs and brakes are interchangible.
The plan is to pull the rig out of storage, jack it up, pull off the hubs and brakes, drop the axles, install the suspension kit, bolt up the new axles, re-install the brakes, repack the bearings, TEST drive itand hit the road.
Am I missing anything?
Thanks in advance.
