There are a few kits out there now to install shocks on trailers. Seems like a fairly easy job. The one I seem to like best is by Joyride Shock System which apparently is now bought out by Roadmaster
Inc. Has anyone done this to their trailer? Were there any problems?? Lots of people have reported broken springs and shocks would have to help. It would be helpful for anyone to share their experiences or brand names.

My '04 Komfort had them, but I never felt they did a whole lot; still had a lot of rocking around corners and the ride was rough. The way the shocks were mounted just didn't lend themselves to much dampening as they were closer to horizontal than vertical. Joyrider comments on this as being one of the real failings of a lot of factory installs whereas their system gets the shocks as close to vertical as possible. Yes, I know this is/could be salesmanship, but it sure makes sense to me. I was surprised when our '17 KZ didn't have them, but the thing rides better than my old Komfort did despite being 18" taller.
