I personally like good old fashion leaf springs. They work good and are cheap and easy to replace if I break one.
What would you do to take some of the bounce out of it. Rear kitchen, load range E at 75psi, rides better with full tank of water. Back of the bus effect I guess is what you would call it.
I'm looking into getting something and of course all the manufactures of suspension products say their product "walks on water".
TT has stock shocks now, I'm wondering if the first step would be to get some type of air shock? Does anybody make it that is designed to bellow out to absorb the shock waves.
I guess my first question is why do you care how much your trailer bounces? Is the bounce causing the TV to bounce or porpoise?
It depends on if it's a true bounce or is it porpoising? Is the trailer causing the TV to bounce or are you concerned about the trailer bouncing up and down. If the latter, you need to invest in two good pair of gas shocks and put them on the trailer. I have shocks on my truck but they were junk. I put a GOOD pair of gas shocks on and it is a different truck.
If porpoising, (for a TT) you need to suck up on the WD bars some more or get stiffer bars. This will cause the truck and trailer to act as one long frame member and take some of the porpoising out of the system.
All the trailer suspension systems work good. It's just takes time and work to get them just right.
