TRAILER AND 5TH WHEEL RIDE CONTROL Comfort Ride shock absorber and slipper spring systems significantly reduce the cause of these common suspension related symptoms: • CHUCKING — The truck is rocked forward and aft when the trailer goes over uneven pavement (dips, frost heaves and the infamous bridge expansion joints). • AXLE ROLL-UP — During braking, the trailer’s rear tires are lifted enough to cause a loss in traction. • SUSPENSION REBOUND — When a tire goes over an obstacle, the trailer tips sideways. After clearing the obstacle, the leaf springs and the trailer rebound like a pogo stick. Complete Comfort Ride system (above) includes shock absorbers & slipper springs. Not an exaggeration! Actual testing over a rough Navistar road course reduced energy transmission to the trailer by over 80%, resulting in improved ride and handling. Braking traction is increased by as much as 70% because there’s no axle roll-up that conventional suspensions suffer from during hard or panic braking events. COMFORT RIDE SHOCK ABSORBERS COMFORT RIDE SLIPPER SPRINGS LESS ENERGY TRANSFER The isolated springs prevent energy transmission between the axles, resulting in less stress to your RV, better towability and longer trailer life. INDEPENDENT AXLE OPERATION Slipper Spring design isolates each axle to improve handling, braking performance and safety by keeping all tires solidly on the pavement even during panic stops. ELIMINATES TRAILER BOUNCING & PORPOISING As a rule, trailers don’t come with shocks. Our high performance, nitrogen-charged shock absorbers stop the bounce, jounce & rock ‘n roll. REDUCES BODY ROLL & SWAY Patented mounting brackets position the shocks to resist body roll and sway. Design limits lateral suspension travel and “side-to-side” rocking. 72-2681 2450 Shock absorber system for 2-3/8” axle diameters 06-8568 2450-50 Third axle kit (components for a third 2-3/8" axle) 72-2686 2460 Shock absorber system for 3” axle diameters 04-7418 2460-50 Third axle kit (components for a third 3" axle) 72-2882 2470 Shock absorber system for 3½” axle diameters 06-8569 2470-50 Third axle kit (components for a third 3-1/2" axle) A SMOOTHER, MORE COMFORTABLE RIDE COMFORT RIDE SHOCK ABSORBERS COMFORT RIDE SLIPPER SPRINGS 72-2687 2560 Slipper spring system for axles rated up to 5,000 pound 06-8570 2560-50 Third axle kit (components for one additional axle) 72-2684 2570 Slipper spring system for axles rated up to 7,000 pound 06-8571 2570-50 Third axle kit (components for one additional axle) 72-2685 2580 Slipper spring system for axles rated up to 8,000 pound 06-8572 2580-50 Third axle kit (components for one additional axle) Time Tested • Time Proven ® RIDE CONTROL Trailer And 5th Wheel 21-10 2023
