Once you go torsion you never go back....plus replacing the existing torsion axles will pretty much be a plug and play change out...going from torsion to springs requires adding spring shackles AND figuring out exactly where to mount those etc...makes no sense to do this.

OBTW, your axles can be rebuilt, if you can find a shop that does it. Its just a rubber insert that provides the "spring". They remove the old, and freeze the new to shrink it and install it.

Yep, I agree with all that's been said. As long as you have the right capacity, which it seems like you do, just replace with like and roll it.
Torsion trailers are awesome. I would not want a leaf spring trailer for a big boat.
