Roadmaster Trailer Suspension
Introducing the New Roadmaster
Comfort Ride suspension products
for multi axle trailers and 5th
wheels. Read why Trailer Life
Magazine called the sytem
"Suspension Nirvana!" The
Comfort Ride Series includes two
separate products 1) Comfort Ride
Shock Absorber and 2) Comfort
Ride Slipper Springs system.
These systems enable your trailer
to glide smoothly over the
roughest roads! The Comfort Ride
Shock Absorbers may be used on
their own, but when used in
conjunction with the Comfort Ride
Slipper Springs, this two part
system will
greatly reduce the causes of
- Chucking - towing vehicle is rocked forward and aft when the trailer goes over uneven pavement (dips, frost heaves and the infamous bridge expansion joints)
- Axle roll-up - caused during braking where the trailer's rear tires are lifted enough to cause a loss in traction
- Suspension rebound - where one tire goes over an obstacle, the trailer tips sideways. After the tire clears the obstacle, the leaf springs and the trailer rebound like a pogo stick.
Comfort Ride Shock Absorber system
The Comfort Ride Shock Absorber system eliminates trailer bouncing and porpoising. The adjustable mounting brackets create the necessary space to install shock absorbers on your trailer. The shocks are mounted nearly vertical to have the leverage to limit up and down motion on both compression and rebound. The shocks are angled at 15 degrees to the outside which enables trailer weight to be centered over the tires, helping control sway by limiting lateral suspension travel and side to side rocking. Shock System install in approximately 3 hours. The Comfort Ride Shock system comes with heavy-duty, nitrogen charged shock absorbers and mounting hardware highlighted in orange below.

Comfort Ride Slipper Spring System
Further improve performance by adding the Comfort Ride Slipper Spring System. The slipper springs add independent axle operation. In addition to improved ride, independent axles increase braking tire traction by as much as 70 percent because there is no axle roll up that conventional suspensions suffer during hard or panic braking events. The Slipper Spring System is an add-on to the Comfort Ride Shock Absorber System which is required. Shock AND Slipper System install approximately 6 hours. The Comfort Ride Slipper Spring System includes the parts highlighted in green below.
