Good dual tandem axle load equalization?

Question

Hello.

I'm having a custom 7x16 toyhauler built and I need a colorado boon docking capable suspension. I want to upgrade to 7k axles, but use appropriate leaf springs or mix and match.

Who makes the best load equalization system for dual axles on leafs?

Thanks

Does morryde provide more travel or equalization than its competitors? The second link to the Timbren Silent Ride has me wondering though..  If the front left wheel and back right wheel drop into a deep rut, wont it twist the swing arms?  Granted leaf springs would twist also but they are designed to twist..

Those are the two main rubberized equalizers I know about. Certainly both would be better than a non rubberized equalizer. As to the Timbren setup. Interesting question. Might be something to ask the MFG.

Good afternoon ,There are 6 bushings in a 7K tandem suspension, 4 of them are in control arms and 2 more in equalizers. Each bushing has a fair amount of rubber in it, therefore the system as a whole is not rigid, and it takes a fair level of articulation for ordinary use / ordinary roads. We haven’t really had problems with it in US and Canada. Even in Australia it has become a suspension of choice considering that the roads in Australia are a lot worse than here..Lou.That's to much twisting on the bushings IMO..  And I cant find anyone online running it..
