To be honest I've never had any issue of any kind with how ,all but one ,of my trailers have pulled. Only reason I am interested is to keep stuff in my cabinets. LOL!!!! I know shit is bouncing all over the place. Shocks would help IMO immensely with that.

BTW,ST tires should never be run at anything other than max PSI.

no tire should be run over it's spec!  I actually run all my st's 5psi under max when loaded but that's my preference.  I can say going from a D range to E range does add some noticeable bounce but not bad. I too would like to keep stuff in the cabinets  rofl  this should do the trick. ask dunebound 69 about keeping his organizers in the cabinets!   LMAO LMAO rofl rofl  it wasn't funny to him but I had to laugh when he opened he door and saw that mess. lol  oh that one sucked!

Ya,keeping stuff in the cabinets is the only reason why I'm interested in adding shocks to the trailer. I'm thinking just adding to the front and rear of a triple torsion  would help tremendously. Might not even be needed ??????

Or you could take Obama's advice  kick pay in some extra taxes and maybe they'ed pave the damn roads.  Now there's on in N Ala, the concrete rd is paved just right at 63mph all you'd need is spurs to think your on a bull.  And I've got shocks. 
You can keep your CHANGE, I'd like to keep my DOLLAR.

before we aired down the tires the road is so bad in IA while deano and I were talking, we were bouncing so bad in the truck it sounded like we were trying to talk through a fan! after we aired down 50% of that was gone. no the way the TH is set up they put more weight on the pin so they can use lighter axles (  bs1 ) which I new but with out weight behind the axle counter balancing it, well it's going to bounce a bit really more like small bucking motion but like I said once we crossed the state line smooth as silk!  not all the roads are great by any stretch of the imagination so it will help none the less but I'm sure I'll still find some roads to test it out from time to time but hey what do you do.  there is a reason the high end units come with them already installed!  the extra 6" of width is very nice compared to the 30wp bumper drag we had but the bathroom is smaller actually I liked the lay out of the other better but this one has room for the toys and I shouldn't have to change tires to get in but I will have to make quick release brackets for the jacknife couch beds in the rear cause they are mounted in the back up against the door opening but that'll actually be an easy fix once the weather gets nicer and if I don't get done by spring oh well they will just come out for the trip cause my beds in the front so I don't care where the kids sleep!!  rofl

Found this on the interwebb just now.  Lot better price.  Not rubber cushioned like the 600 $ one but still greaseable.  And at 162$ not bad.  This one is for the triple axle trailers.

If I believe I cannot do something it makes me incapable of doing it. But when I believe that I can, then I acquire the ability to do it , even if I didn't have it at the beginning.
