Axle and Tire Upgrade to Increase GVW

Description

These are the same great Dexter Torflex EZ-Lube axles underpinning every Aerovault, now available with additional capacity! This upgrade swaps both standard axles, increasing your GVW by 1,000 pounds from 7,000 to 8,000. Our standard axles are more than sufficient for the vast majority of sports cars and race cars, but this upgrade is essential if you plan to haul heavy vehicles like EVs, SUVs, and luxury cars.

The upgrade also includes five eighty-ply Carlisle Radial N-speed rated (87 mph) tires. What’s the difference between the standard six ply tires and the upgraded eight ply tires? Like the upgraded axles, the difference is the amount of weight they are rated to carry. Six ply tires are rated at 1820 pounds each. This is a total weight of 7280 pounds. The GVW (gross vehicle weight) rating of the Aerovault is 7000 lbs. before this upgrade. Eight ply tires are rated at 2150 pounds each. This is a total weight of 8600 pounds, way over your now 8,000 lb. GVW.

Note: The Axle Upgrade is only available installed by Aerovault, they cannot be shipped. Please visit the “Price/Plan/Order” tab in the “Info” section of our website to get started!
