I am looking to buy a dual axle secondhand trailer. One that I have come across has torsion suspension. Can anyone tell me how this type of suspension compares with standard springs or load sharing assemblies? Pros & Cons? Thanks

I have an 9 x 6 with 2 by 1.5 Tonne axles love it and everyone comments on it! but unless it is loaded up towards its rating they are bone jarringly stiff. Maybe its the high rating of them that makes them this way.
Are supposed to be more reliable and last longer but as i say my experience is using them at or near their rated capacity they are great!
