I may have to crawl under my trailer. It's new with only 3 trips but that = 6000 miles. Some of the roads get pretty damn ruff. Last trip nice road with a ramp onto a bridge. Truck and trailer left the ground. Airborn! Had to change pants next fuel stop.
CarlYou don't have springs on your trailer. You have torsional axles. Whole different ball game. DS and I have springs and that is the problem. Be a long time coming before you have a problem.
Nope, I'm leaf sprung. That little toyhauler I had, it had shocks on it. Maybe a little less bouncy than current trailer.
fast here are the pics of the plates I used in the Monroe kit for my shock mounts on the axle. the kit also came with upper mounts to but I had to mod those. they are 1/4" thick as well
The kit pretty dang cheap. When turning a triple theres some serious drag on axle, front one from what I've read is worst. 4 axle stuff should prob only go in straight line. Mental note; dont put camera under trailer, you dont want to see what really happens. But not surprising when you see how they are built. When you see how they are put together, its amazing the roof and walls stay on at 80+ mph.
My trailer runs on 7k, 3" drop axles. If I have problems with them I will likely go to straight Axles. My trailer is built like a brick s#(t house. 2" for sides and roof, with cross bracing. But it is heavy. I need to service my flat bed bad, ds can attest to that. Should do the enclosed as well.
