Given the general concensus that the major frame builders build to minimum spec I upgraded my spring pack from a 6 to a 7 leaf. Don't know what the ride diference is for the trailer since I don't ride back there but I do tow with much more confidence that I am not going to have catastrophic spring failure due to being borderline undersprung.
Almost all of my major upgrades have been related to what is unseen under the trailer.
