1RUSTYRIG 08-20-2002, 08:04 PM Has anyone had any experience with Torsion flex axles for off-road trailers? I am planning on building 3 or 4 trailers this winter and can't decide between solid axles with leaf springs or the torsion axles. I searched but found nothing converning the pro's and con's of the two. Thanks gang!

(I assume that would work) Doc Savage 08-21-2002, 06:50 AM Check out the Kimberly Kampers offroad camper trailers (www.kimberlykampers.com). They actually use a trailing arm/stub axle arangement similar to a torsion bar. I've seen someone else take a M415 and cut the axle and weld square channel in place of it in an inverted "U" shape. Kinda like this: __ / \ . Robert OK the graphic didn't post like it looked in the edit screen. | |
