3 axles... Torflex or springs.
I'm looking at having a 32' 3 axle gooseneck cargo trailer built with 6k or 7k axles and I found a local builder I like but he recommends slipper springs instead of Torflex for 3 axle trailers. I've shopped and some mfgrs use Torflex and some use springs on 3 axle trailers. I know the rubber in Torflex doesn't last forever and I'd always be able to work on springs myself. Is Torflex a good idea on a 3 axle trailer and are they worth the extra money?
I've only had one tiny 5000 lb 5er with Torflex and it rode like a dream but I'm not sure if that was from the axles or because it was so light. I've never had 2 similar size/weight trailers to really compare Torflex to springs. TIA! Craig
