Trailers: Torsion or Leaf Spring?
Which type of trailer suspension pulls smoother?
I've noticed most of the suspension and I only looked at aluminum open trailers are torsion, Trailex is leaf spring.
Just wondering if one is better than the other.

I have a 24' enclosed unit, a Haulmark with TORSION suspension.
I have probably tried 5 different trailers out over the years, owning two of them, borrowing others or taking a friend's car up on theirs - the torsion spring axles on my Haulmark are just nothing short of PLUSH!!
It's unbelievable how I can go over railroad tracks, etc. the truck "jolts" and when the trailer wheels go over, sometimes you can't even feel it in the least bit.
My "two cents" anyway.
