Mine are regular axles with springs. He's done two trailers for me so far, about to take him another one as soon as I can get the Chaparral off it. Yes, I have to replace the springs more often. I take my wheels off and hit everything with a wire brush then spray everything down with grease once or twice a year. Seems to help some, could just be in my head. Plus I throughly hose everything off with freshwater when I get home from the ramp. I've heard of people cool sealing them before. Sometimes I wonder if putting extra coating on top might seal in moisture when the get dunked. Kinda like those rubber coated anchor chains they sell at walmart. Spraying them with the zinc in a can galv cote stuff can't hurt any I would think.
