Very nice......

Looks like it was pretty easy to do? the trailer for my pro drive is in bad shape.

Wasnt too bad on this little axle... My boat sits about 2" higher now... I used a bottle jack and jack stands for safety... Had to cut the old bolts off because they were so rusted

Where did you get your springs from?

Looks good ! Get some cold galvanize and soak those new springs down:D...

Doing mine in two weeks when I am down. Got a broke spring now!

just changed my gatortail trailer axle to torsion springs. talk about night and day in ride quality.

Do you mind pm'ing me how much you paid for springs and hardware?

What did that cost you?

i need to do the same thing... about how much did it cost?

Springs were $24.00 each
U-bolt Kits were $12.50 each (U-bolts, nuts, washers, plates)
Large Bolts were $3.50 each

Total Cost $80.00 plus tax

I did stop by a couple of other places and just the springs were around $35-$40 each. I had already redone everything else on my trailer last fall but he did tell me that he carries all that stuff too (bunk board brackets, hubs, radial trailer tires, etc.)

torsion axles are the tits.... feels like you arent even pulling a boat

I have a broken spring as well.

thanks! I need to do mine soon!

Rust prevention tip: Once a year, take an old hand towel, dip it in car oil and saturate every part on a trailer that can rust, especially the springs and their hardware and you almost totally eliminate rust. My trailer is 12 years old with the original springs, axle, etc. and I mostly use it in salt water and it has very little rust on it.

About to change mine, they are getting awful rusty. Changed before; it's not to bad. Want to get it done before i get stuck changing them on the side of the road!
