For suspensions, the rubber torsion axles started about 1961 or so, before that was leaf spring. Air ride is not recommended as it raises the center of gravity, which adversely effects handling. Some people have had good luck with 16 inch truck tires, but check your space inside the wheelwell of the trailer you want to install them in to verify they won't rub.
If you do much gravel road driving, I would recommend both rock guards for the front windows, and stone guards for the front lower segments.
You should also look at the plumbing where it hangs down under the trailer to make sure it will not get torn off on a really bad road.
