1000-5 Front Fox 2.5” Springs

[Scoop]

I had torsion axles on this trailer, no shackles or leaf spring eyes to wear out. Worked very well in my application.

Mine has them.

Our camper has torsion axles.

No. That would be stupid and unnecessary.

So basically the same as A-Arms guards on a P1K5 then? 🤣

Enlighten me. I missed that day of instruction.

They'll fill up with mud & sticks & rocks & stuff and tear up boots. Do more harm than good. Hard to clean. I have a brand new set of Trail Armor A-Arm guards. Glad I got them free when I bought the TA 1/2" UHMW skid plate, because they are sitting under a workbench.

Thank you. It weighed right at 15,000 lbs loaded up with tools,golf cart and car.I had it equipped like I wanted with A/C, generator, lights, tiedowns for car and golf cart. Started out pulling it with an '07 Diesel Ram 2500 then graduated to a 2012 Ram Dually Megacab. Got about 5,000 miles on it then had my stroke. Sold truck,trailer and rolling car chassis. As you know, life happens. This was a pic of the rig about 6 months before life happened.

I liked them a LOT better than those noisy leaf springs, shackles and equalizer links.

Ever tried a slider box on the rear of a leaf spring ?

Not attaching the rear of the leaf spring. Just letting it slide back and forth inside the box.

I used to have an 18ft general purpose trailer that had those on it, but after having torsion axles I would never go back to a leaf spring setup.
