I've seen a few on here but maybe they were lost.

Looking for suspension upgrades on my trailer (22'Carson Racer).  The trailer 'kicks" back a lot on road joints and potholes.  More so than I would expect it to.  Anything I can do?  

If anyone has done upgrades, was it worth the money as in "OH MY GOD!!!  THIS IS THE BEST EVER!!!" or was it just , "yeah, it's a little better..."

I've been looking at these...is there a better brand over others?

@TheLatinLover Didn't you do something like this?  How would you rate it?  Worth it?
I don't recall the name but yes, and it made a significant improvement.

I installed the EZ Flex on my old 5th wheel. It made a noticeable difference. It was a heavy triple axle rig tho. I'd think the moryde or road armor unit would probably be the ticket for your trailer.

I have 2 flatbeds and an enclosed on my fleet. Flatbeds and can 4-5k miles each month and thw enclosed does around 2k miles. I installed the Dexter equalizers installed on both flatbeds and I could feel a difference but my son, who does the most driving said it feels the same to him. I really wanted thicker Hangar tabs and greaseable hardware.

So this just threw a wrench in my plans...

I have torsion axles.   I don't have leafs.

Anyone have any input on upgrading the ride for those?  The cost is double for components from what I can see.
I'm out, got no experience with those.  

 
All my trailers have been torsion axle trailers and never had any towing issues. Only thing I can think of for what you describe is making sure trailer is level, so one axle isn't caring more load then the other.

I like Torsion axles better myself for ride quality, and I heard they don't require maibtence like leaf spring axles, no metal on metal contact and they are way quieter - maybe  they are just too heavy?  and weighed does not make a difference from empty

 A 22' trailer  I would think 7K axles are overkill. Most enclosed have 3500 axles or 5200lb axles after all how much can you carry in a 22' ?

I had Universal Trailers build me a 20' enclosed last year. I upgraded to the 7k 8 lug axles. I think it was $1500 upgrade. Worth it to know I will not overload them.
