Well, here's the thing. Fully loaded to 400lbs under gross weight (all weights were from a certified scale) with a TW percentage of 12.6% using a properly set up WD hitch, while increasing speed from 35MPH to 55MPH (not having reached the 55MPH) I developed a significant sway which ended up bending all my hanger brackets between 15º and 30º and shifted both axles about 2 inches to the left. The trailer has since been fixed but I know the hangers need some support. The Correct track will do that. Plus, tire clearance unloaded is 2 1/2 inches and that is the minimum you should have...Loaded! Correct track will raise the trailer 2inches. So, added support to the hanger legs, a block between the legs to essentially tie the legs together,2inches more clearance AND, the ability to correct axle alignment. That's a win. The equa-flex will smooth out all oscillations. Shocks will help control the suspension.
As for mileage, I do about 7K to 12K per year. I also go off road since it is a toy hauler and encounter things like off cambers, ruts, dips, holes, etc. As for 5 years, well I'm 62 and when I can no longer safely pull a trailer, I'll quit. Could be one year....could be 20 years.
