Ifs Vs Solid Axle Towing

What’s better for your camper trailer, a solid axle with leaf springs or
independent coil spring suspension? Every man and his dog has an opinion on this
age-old question. I’m going to start off by saying there is no definitive winner
here. Why? Well, there are thousands of different setups out there, and just
because one type performs better in one particular scenario doesn’t guarantee
it’s superior in all the others.

The IFS beam axle is attached separately from the chassi. So if a decent impact
happens it may damage the beam axle but it may not damage the chassis. Comfort:
In extremely uneven terrain with big holes, washouts, due to the high flexing
ability the whole body moves nicely and gives way more comfort than an IFS
vehicle which lifts its wheels. Solid Axles don't do well in the desert.Take a

crawlers they're almost all Solid Axles.but even IFS is increasing in popularity
with rock crawlers. Just my 2 bucks. Edited October 31, 2006 by kmgar99. With
that being said, the G-Class is rumored to lose the solid-axle in lieu of an IFS
system for 2018. Another factor that most hobbyist off-roaders don’t take into
account is the difference in unsprung weight between a solid-axle and IFS
vehicle. IFS vs LIVE AXLE, Off-road0:00 intro0:20 the difference2:37

Cost is also a major factor when deciding between the two, with most independent
systems being in a much higher price range. So, is independent suspension worth
the extra dollars, or are the old leaf-sprung solid axle setups better bang for
your buck?

Let’s looks at the facts along with all the pros and cons before we jump to any
conclusions.


TOUGH TALK

A camper’s suspension should be tough enough to handle anything we can throw at
it. After all, that is what stands between the harsh Aussie outback and your
prized possession.

So let’s break it down. Both systems are used in some of the most capable 4WDs
on the planet, and while they are both comprised of parts available all over
Australia, you’re much more likely to find leaf spring parts in the middle of
nowhere. Plus, when it comes to carrying loads, we see leaf springs being used
in the majority of trucks across the country, so there’s no disputing their
strength or load carrying capabilities.

In saying that, coil springs and independent trailing arms are more than capable
of supporting a camper’s weight and copping the punishment, too. The real
benefit that coil springs bring to the table, as you might have guessed, is a
smoother ride over corrugations and potholes. The reality is, as long as the
components used are of good quality, both of these setups are reliable and tough
enough and, in all seriousness, often engineered to get the job done with no
problems at all.

It all comes down to price compared to the need. If the price isn’t a problem,
the independent system offers an advanced ride; if you’re on a tighter budget,
leaf springs will get the job done with a cherry on top too!


THE VERDICT

Well there you go: the ins and outs of four popular camper trailer styles
around, along with a few helpful hints on choosing the right suspension. We all
know there’s no such thing as the perfect camper trailer, but there is
definitely the best camper trailer for you out there. Everybody wants different
things from their camper trailers these days, and it’s impossible for any design
to be perfect for everything. The best advice we can give is to research the
style of camper you want, and be realistic as to what you’re going to use the
camper trailer for.


MYTH BUSTERS


MYTH

Leaf sprung campers will rattle to bits on harsh and bumpy tracks.


BUSTED

Contrary to popular belief, leaf springs can provide an extremely good ride for
your camper trailer if they are set up properly. To test and see how harsh the
ride is in a leaf sprung camper trailer, we left a cartoon of eggs sitting in
the sink of both types of campers and hit the tracks for the day. Let me tell
you, it wasn’t a walk in the park either – we tackled ruts, water crossings,
corrugations and hit more pot holes than we could count. The results were
actually quite surprising to say the least. Would you believe that not one egg
cracked in either of the campers for the entire day?

While I don’t doubt that coil springs offer a smoother ride, it’s evident that a
well setup leaf-sprung system will get the job done just fine.


MYTH


WHAT'S BETTER IFS OR SOLID AXLE

Coil spring suspension offers more travel, making a camper trailer more capable.


BUSTED


IFS VS SOLID AXLE TOWING CAPACITY RATIO

While coil springs are known to offer great flex, the benefits of impressive
suspension down travel (flex) simply aren’t utilised in a camper trailer. The
main reason for this is because of the camper trailer’s offroad coupling. The
offroad coupling basically allows the camper to move independently to the tow
vehicle. So, if a camper’s wheel was to fall into a large rut, the whole camper
would tilt from the coupling first instead of letting the wheel flex down on its
own.
