What advice do people have about the value of a torsion axle instead of a cheaper leaf sprung axle. I'm looking to build a light weight teardrop to travel cross country with. I know I could go with a standard Harbor Freight Trailer or something similar, but I may only use the axles, rims, tires, lights, hitch, and chains. Would I be better off buying the individual components?
Are torsion axles lighter due to the lack of leaf springs?
