Better ride spring or torsion?
Just so you all know my trailer is a 3 axle torsion axle rides very good
My weight is 12,000lbs. I am think about shocks.Even if there is no kit
I can build what I need. My last trailer a 2 axle @ 10,000 I put shocks
made a BIG differance. ok Lets the games begin. Thanks Gary
In my experience with two different double torsion axle trailers, I would say the torsion is smoother riding than leaf springs, on similar size/weight trailer. To me, the rubber torsion system takes away the need for shocks, at least in my experience.
Are you saying that your last 2 axle trailer had torsion suspension, and you added shocks to it, with a big difference in ride noticed? I am sure shocks would make a difference on a trailer with leaf springs.
If your current triple axle torsion suspension rides "very good", why would you want to fit shocks on it? I guess I'm just not following your line of thought.
