Planning to order a 5x8 enclosed trailer specifically to haul pit equipment, spare bodywork, and small chassis setups. Since we travel hundreds of miles to regional circuits, total height and fuel drag are big factors for us.
We are customizing the options before ordering and saw these 5x8 enclosed trailer torsion axle options https://makemytrailer.com/torsion-axles-on-5x8-enclosed-trailer/ Since torsion axles usually drop the overall trailer height by a couple of inches compared to spring setups, does that lower center of gravity help noticeably with highway drag and crosswinds when towing small rigs?
