Yes, conversion is possible. The process involves purchasing electric brake axles and replacing the existing hydraulic system. To complete the installation, disconnect the wires from the hydraulic pump and connect the brake power wire and ground wire to the new electric brake axles.

The primary difference lies in the positioning of the axle relative to the spring. In an overslung configuration, the spring is mounted above the axle, while in an underslung configuration, the spring is positioned beneath the axle. Both configurations offer comparable strength and ride quality. However, they affect the chassis and tongue height differently, which can influence trailer stability depending on the load.

Leaf spring axles and torsion axles each have distinct characteristics:

Leaf Spring Axles:

Benefits:

- Provide axle location and control

- Offer superior stability when loaded

- Easier to lift

Drawbacks:

- More challenging to adjust for optimal ride

- Heavier weight

- Susceptible to axle wrap

- Require significant space

- Prone to noise

Torsion Axles:

Benefits:

- Increased durability

- Allow for minor ride height adjustments

- Superior longevity, stability, and safety

- Better resistance to rust and corrosion

- Lower center of gravity for improved stability

Drawbacks:

- Non-progressive spring rate

- Limited wheel travel

- Fewer aftermarket options

- Require a spare wheel in case of a flat tire

While leaf spring axles remain common, torsion axles are gaining popularity due to their advantages. The choice between the two depends on specific trailer requirements and intended use.
