    Trailer parts for Pre WRMG boats

    I'm looking to source a torsion axle for a pre WRMG trailer. Anyone have any luck with buying these parts from Ranger, or is there a trusted source outside of the dealer network?

    I would give board sponsor Eastern Marine a call. Always had good luck with them.

    It was less than 10 years ago that Ranger switched trailer manufacturing away from the home plant. Of course, they’re back in Flippin again. Point is, they well might have inventory remaining…or not. Covid totally killed supplies of some hard-to-get parts. Also, from what I understand, axles must be measured specifically for the trailer, not just plug and play. You live in a good state for Ranger dealerships; why not get one of them involved.

    This is a potential trade in, I work for a boat dealership. I was hoping to go straight to the source... but may have to get another dealer involved if that's the best solution.

    My dealer got me a torsion axle from Ranger two years ago for a 2007 trailer.

    Eastern Marine (Trailer Parts Superstore) has them. Also, Shadow Trailers.
