Bad324 Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 I know nothing about the difference between these and leaf springs for a trailer so can you give me a rundown on the pro's and con's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max power Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Torsion suspension is awesome. Just don't overload it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted February 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Torsion suspension is awesome. Just don't overload it.Excellent, I'm guessing 90% of its use will be hauling motorcycles but if I end up not having a truck at some point in the near future it will also haul misc home improvement stuff as well as be a moving trailer when needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gump Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 (edited) Torsion axle allows you to typically run the frame closer to the ground and they cost more. I was going to make a low rider trailer with then once but didn't have enough money for that axle . Edited February 25, 2013 by Gump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosmo Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 I hear the Dexter torsion axles are great. I have dexter axle with a leaf spring, it is ok. The advantage of a torsion axle is that your trailer tires are usually not balanced torsion axle take care of that and reduce the vibration of the the conventional leaf springs.

crb Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Dexter torsion axles are nice I had them on a corn pro trailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted March 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 I have no idea what brand they may be. The guy I got it from just said they were torsion axles. It was cold and snowy the day I picked it up and I stashed it in the back of our yard here at work so I haven't even pulled it out to see yet. Once it starts to warm up and I get some free time, I have to sand it down and paint it...it was the one thing he didn't do when he built it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
