Joyrider shock absorber kit
Has anyone installed the joyrider shock system. I would appreciate your feedback. The size of the shocks look like they may actually be able to control a fifth wheel much better than some of the other...

I checked that out and sure looks like a nice system, if a bit pricey. $500 for a double axle seems a bit high for 4 shocks and the mounting brackets. I'm not 100% convinced that shocks are that important for a trailer/5th wheel, but I'm not 100% convinced that they aren't a bad idea either.
If I had the cash to spare I would actually consider that set up, looks well thought out. Be interesting to hear if anyone has it installed, how easily it installed, and how well it works.
I installed the Lippert shock kit on our 32' 11,000#, cost $120 per axle $240 for both. Do they make a differance? In my opinion very much so, we cross a old bridge on our way to the coast very good at inducing chucking! Since installing shocks on the 5er almost zero chucking. Once I add the correct track system to add 2" to level the 5er I expect chucking to be history!
