Do you know how long they have been using these axles? Is there something on the axle label that will tell me? My 3121 come off the line mid-2018.

Pretty sure Keystone started utilizing the Gladiator heavy wall axle in 2021. If you want to know for certain, one could always get the serial number off of one of their axles and give Dexter CS a call

Ok thanks. I was hoping to hear 2017! Doesn't really matter, I've got what I've got. But am having some inner tire wear on the rear axle.

I could not find 2019 and 2020 brochures- but the screen shots below show the 2018 axle description and the 2021 axle description.

Thanks for searching for this and posting. Looks like I have the thinner wall axles.
