How to ID a '32 heavy axle???

Any help on how to ID a '32 heavy axle? Thanks!

 

One quickie way is that the perch bolt bosses are slightly recessed in the web of the I-beam due to the increased thickness of the web.

 

second axle from the top is a 32 heavy, once you see one you don't need anything to "id" it

 

If you dont mind me asking

whats so great about that axle?

Is it that much heavier

 

it looks better

 

I think someone did some compare and contrast on all the axles. Even though they look stout, they aren't that much heavier. I'm thinking +/- 2 lbs.

 

it's not that they are weigh more that they are called "heavy" axles. it's that they have a bigger I-beam between the spring perch and the kingpin boss. makes the axle look weird not dropped but PERFECT when you drop it.

 

I think I got it. Great info. Thanks everybody.
