[quote=wlrottge]I've had a couple of trailers with torsion axles; in a previous life, I had a 28' gooseneck horse trailer with tandem torsion axles. It was nice relative to leaf springs b/c the trailer sat lower to the ground and if you blew a tire, the axles didn't kick up on the pivot.
My current cat trailer has a torsion axle... well, I guess it's actually two axles b/c there is one on each side. I think it rides just a hair stiff, but I think it will be better now that I've added some weight by converting it to a tilt trailer and lengthening the tongue by three feet. It is nice b/c the trailer itself sits 6-8 inches lower than it would with leaf springs.
The lower ride height is something to consider if you think about switching axles. You can look at places like etrailer.com; they have quite a few "axle-less" torsion setups, so width isn't an issue.[/quote]
