[QUOTE="turbotodd, post: 288497, member: 7376"] At one time I used a "K-car" axle (Dodge Aries K, Plymouth Reliant K) and springs. Fabbed up a couple trailing arms and a panhard bar. Pulled great. Too complicated though. I bought a brand new trailer with the new boat this past summer which uses typical leaf spring axle. If I have to replace it, I'm going with a torsion axle. Pulled a guy's boat the other day and his was a torsion. The difference was amazing. Instead of using a separate shock absorber and coil spring, I wonder if one could use like a coil-over setup and how that'd work? I imagine it'd simplify it a little but how would it last? [/QUOTE]
