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.
