Description

An 80 percent reduction in road-induced vibration! Independent tests show Comfort Ride shock absorber and leaf spring systems reduce energy transmission to otherwise-conventional trailers/fifth wheels by more than 80 percent, over a variety of surfaces. Four major design innovations are behind those results: the axles are isolated, the shock absorbers are mounted vertically, the shock absorbers are angled to provide sway control, and fewer moving parts. Includes third axle kit only and contains components for one additional axle, full system sold separately.

The axles are isolated: The 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
The shock absorbers are mounted vertically: Patented mounting brackets allow the shocks to be mounted vertically, where they have the leverage to limit up-and-down motion on both compression and rebound
The shock absorbers are angled to provide sway control because the shocks are angled 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
Fewer moving parts: 10 of the 14 moving parts in a conventional trailer suspension have been eliminated; the remaining four are lubricated with long-life bushings
