The local guy I have used for the last two I have made is not a fan of independent suspesion on offroad trailer.
cheers
Maybe he believes in the motto "Parts left out cost nothing and cause no service issues"
A leaf spring suspension is tried, proven and easily repaired anywhere on earth.
This is not always the case with independent suspension.
Find the right independent suspension and roberts your fathers brother!
Cruisemaster gets a good rap.
