Suspension Upgrade for Torsion Axles
Question:
Is this suspension system compatible with torsion axels? Or is there a kit like this that replaces torsion axels?

Expert Reply:
I do have an option for you but the Lippert Components Center Point by Trailair Air-Ride Suspension Upgrade part # LC1565401 is for leaf spring axles only and cannot be used with a torsion axle setup. If you are experiencing a rough ride then most likely the rubber inside your torsion axle has become worn and it will need to be replaced. This would be a good time to upgrade to an axle-less system as well, the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System.
The Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System will not only give independent control of each side for better maneuverability but it will also provide you with a rebound spring that works to help improve the unloaded ride quality. There are several options for these systems depending on axle capacity and ground clearance so if you can give me the weight capacity of the axles you have now I can then make a recommendation for you.
For example, the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System part # ASR3500S05 has a 3,500 lb capacity.
