R6L 2580-50 Third axle kit (components for one additional axle) COMFORT RIDE SHOCK ABSORBER SYSTEMS Comfort Ride slipper leaf springs attach to a central hanger that isolates each axle, so the two springs are no longer connected. 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 quality is significantly improved when both the slipper spring system (below) and the shock absorbers are used in tandem. COMFORT RIDE SLIPPER LEAF SPRING SYSTEMS Note: The leaf spring system must be used in conjunction with the shock absorber system (described above).

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.
