Snip...

I've been looking at the Rubber Torsional axles and I'm curious what the
opinion of the group is. Does anyone have these on their glider trailers
currently?
Yes...1500 pounder for about 4 years now; it was a bolt-on replacement
(done w/o outside help).

how is the ride?

Um...I have no idea; I've never ridden in my trailer. That said, I opted
for the 1500 pound vs. the 2000 pound one for presumed 'less jouncy'
reasons.

What about the durability? They really
aren't maintainable like a leaf spring would be.
I was told (by the local Dexter distributor): 1) the only known failures
they've seen in service have come from overload conditions (which tend
to shear the rubber bits inside the axle beam)...YMMV, of course. 2)
Dexter's original test sample on the concept remains functional years
later. My torsion/metal springs failed after 25+ years. Metal definitely
fatigues...

Any other opinions?
I shall resist...I shall resist...I shall RESIST temptation!!!
