Travel trailer Axle/Brake Upgrade

Howdy! I've done some searching on the forum, and haven't found the answers I'm looking for. If you know of some threads off-hand, feel free to point me in that direction!

We are going to be putting a lot of miles on our TT (Bullet 308BHS) and I'd like a better ride, and less maintenance burden (such as adjusting brakes every 1000 miles).

Has anyone replaced their axles with Dexter Torflex? How about the Nev-R-Adjust breaks? Pros? Cons? Suggestions? I know I'll have to have a "box" made to railse the trailer since the Torflex axles sit differently.

Thanks!

JMHO but changing from axles on springs to torsion axles would be very expensive and probably not worth it. I wonder if they make shocks you could add. However changing the brakes to self adjusting would be a very worthwhile upgrade.
