Comfort Ride shock absorbers and leaf springs are now available from Roadmaster.
The complete system consists of two main components.
First are the shock absorbers – a patented, adjustable mounting bracket allows the shocks to be mounted vertically, where they have the leverage to limit up-and-down motion on both compression and rebound.
Comfort Ride shock absorbers areangled 15 degrees to the outside to provide sway control. The trailer’s weight stays centered over the tires, which helps control sway by limiting lateral suspension travel and side-to-side rocking.
Comfort Ride shock absorbers fit tandem axle trailers and fifth wheels and are available for 2-and-three-eighth-, 3-, and 3-and-a-half-inch axle diameters with an MSRP of $550.
Secondly, slipper leaf springs are a central hanger that isolates each axle, so the two springs are no longer connected, and the spring ends ride on rollers.
Each spring is free to absorb and dissipate energy, in effect creating an independent axle system for improved ride and handling.
Comfort Ride slipper leaf springs fit tandem axle trailers and fifth wheels; kits are available for various axle ratings up to 8,000 pounds with an MSRP of $975.
Comfort Ride suspension products are available through NTP-Stag and Meyer Distributing.
