Hey guys,

I'm looking at a 5x6 enclosed trailer like this one: https://makemytrailer.com/torsion-axles-on-5x6-enclosed-trailer/) and deciding whether it's worth getting torsion axles over standard leaf springs.

Even with everything properly secured, I want to minimize constant road vibration and harsh bumps on longer highway drives.

For those towing small enclosed trailers, do torsion axles actually provide a noticeably smoother ride and better tracking compared to leaf springs? Appreciate any feedback.
 
I have a 4x8 trailer that I use for my 4 wheeler, it has leaf springs and I feel every bump. I'd opt for the torsion axle in the correct weight range if for no other reason than it's independent suspension...
