I still haven’t ordered or bought anything. Everytime I go to “make the call”, I get hesitant on the torsion axles.
Paralysis by over analysis…..

Your standard torsion axles are safer over ditches without fancy walking beams. You dont need the front axle slamming into the hole, it runs smoother if both axles take a slight overload at a time, without the wheel dropping all the way down into the hole and hitting a vertical incline while climbing out. I dont think the walking beam setup reduces any peak loads, it just adds complexity.

I just dont like torsion on 3 axle setups, when you steer too tight along a curb, its two axles against one, which often bends the swing arms. Tandem will be just fine.
