Each spring is free to absorb and dissipate energy, which equates to less shake, rattle and roll in the trailer and in the truck. For tandem axle trailers or fifth wheels. The complete Comfort Ride system (above) includes shock absorbers and slipper leaf springs. • …eliminate trailer bouncing and ‘porpoising.’ Most RV trailers and fifth wheels don’t have shock absorbers. The reason? There’s just not enough room. Until now. Patented, adjustable mounting brackets eliminate the space constraints, and also allow the shocks to be mounted vertically, where they have the leverage to limit up-and- down motion on both compression and rebound. • …are angled to provide sway control. Because the shocks are angled 15 degrees to the outside, the trailer’s weight stays centered over the tires, which helps control sway by limiting lateral suspension travel and side-to-side rocking. For tandem axle trailers or fifth wheels. Comfort Ride heavy-duty, nitrogen-charged shock absorbers… Note: the shock system can be installed separately, but ride qual-ity is significantly improved when both the slipper spring system (below) and the shock absorbers are used in tandem.
