Sounds like you need to weigh your horses and load them in the right order with those axles.


I'm not hauling horses or even livestock. I couldn't imagine hauling livestock on torsion axles. I'd go with leaf springs. The only advantage I see with torsion axles is the low mounting clearance they offer. Unless I needed that, I'd never have them again.
