I called Dexter and they have the 12T Torflex 7k now that's good for tri-axles. The guy said Torflex rides worse than springs empty but better when loaded to 80% or more. I think Torflex would make good sense for an RV that's probably at 80% even when unloaded but not so much for a cargo/car hauler with a light empty weight. I asked him how he would have it built if it were him and he said double eye springs cuz slippers are noisy. It's close to a coin toss but I will probably go with the longer 26"springs and 6 shocks so I know I can always rebuild everything myself. I'm seriously considering 6 wheel discs cuz it's a lot cheaper at build time than to change them later. Thanks for the input! Craig
