One of the most cost effective improvements to the ride of the 5th wheel is installing the EZ Flex suspension components from Dexter. For less than $200 you can also have the EZ Flex with wet bolts included. The difference after I installed the EZ Flex and wet bolt kit on my triple axle toyhauler was night and day. You could still feel the bridge joints, but now it doesn't try to snap your neck.
One of the best things I've gotten for my trailer.
I forgot in my earlier post that you should also install shocks on the 5er. We have Bilstein 5100's on the Ram 2500 and Monroe RV shocks on the 5er. it sure smooths out the bad spots.
We moved for one host site to another Friday, there is an bridge just south of Cornelius, OR the going north is a pretty good bump, hit at 55 and one noticeable bounce. This is with a 12,360# 5er, and a 2001 Ram 2500.
The price of the EZ-Flex looks interesting, may add to the 5er in the near future.
