The trailer or my 13' whaler is in sad shape, the axle is a solid piece of rust and I'd like to replace it before it breaks. It has springs now but I have been thinking of a torsion axle. Anybody have any opinions? They seem like a cost effective and easy to install solution. The spring perches?? are rusted and I like the fact that the torsion axle just bolts to the frame. Total capacity should be about 1000lbs. Thanks!
