Emma. I have a custom built trailer with heavy duty leaf springs With greaseable shackle pins.The trailrer has been towed up the cape and across the simpson many times with few problems.You can buy leaf springs almost any where in Australia.Shockers are a good idea to help the cargo ride a bit smoother.Also you can fit a spare leaf spring underneath the trailer on pins which is very handy.

emma - we (family of 4) have a custom built 7x4 with h/d leaf springs and to date has travelled over 100,000 klms without failure on every track that you could imagine - a little regular maintance goes a long way
