Spring ride vs Air ride reefer

It really depends on WHAT you will be hauling on the trailer. Some things (like eggs) ride MUCH better on air.

As far as spring, any of you guys ever broke a spring while having a full load on? It gets messy quick, like ruining supports on the trailer and shredding the tire. I've seen it happen.

 

That does not happen from braking one of 3 or sometimes 4 springs in a set. If you brake 1 even loaded its not going to have a destroy a tire for damage the trailer frame. And you wont get shutdown for 1 of 3 springs being broken, and his is the time to fix it, as long as you have the proper jack to lift and hold the trailer it really is not all that bad to change.

We brake springs fairly regualarly in the powder world, not that big of deal, as long as you deal with it right away.
