I've built several trailers with torsion axles, and love them. They are just too easy. I know they also are available as stubs. Just mount one to each side. I don't know what wieghts they are avail in for that configuration, but it'd great for ground clearance. Otherwise, just add a beefy skid plate to slide over anything.



They've got those at that site as well. Cost for a trailer axle kit would be $489 (3500lb's kit which is the only one that can use a 6x5.5 bolt pattern wheels).

That was about four years ago, but still, that's a huge difference in price. I built a really nice pickup bed trailer for a demo for my bedliner business. The axle had to be a custom width, spindle drop, spindle angle, etc, dealie to fit in the fenderwells of the truck bed. It came out looking sweet. Looked like it had a 4" lift on it! I got lots of comments on that trailer, and many offers to buy it.
As for bolt pattern, you could easily get away with the adapters for a trailer <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> I like the idea of starting with a V6 gen 1 monty frame though!
