Lenny, for someone who trailers a lot, say 50x a year. Do you recommend torsion axle or leaf springs. I am in the process of ordering a new trailer and have received mixed advice. I was told that springs are easy to swap out while the entire axle needs to be replaced on a torsion axle. However I am told I will get longer life out of a torsion axle. What says the pro? Thanks!

Hi Greg - you're getting mixed info because each is a mixed bag. It's true that leaf springs require more maintenance but are easier to fix and yes, torsions do usually have to be replaced. However, most people feel they also give a better ride and handling. One other tidbit - leaf springs are considered better for regular rough road use since they have more clearance and are better at equalizing the load when one tire goes into a pot-hole. Pick your poison!!
