My previous fiver had a terrible ride and within the first 6 months, I decided something needed to be done. My opinion at the time was an aftermarket pin box or hitch just isolated the driver from the problem while improving the trailer suspension would help with reliability of the trailer and driver comfort. While both improvements might be needed, it seemed like the suspension improvement was the higher priority. So I had Mor/ryde install their IS suspension. Never felt the need for anything more and kept the fiver for 7 yrs.
X2!!
So many approach ride issues while towing with band-aids!
If you fix the root cause of the ride issue you will be far better off. Get the 5er as near level as possible, nose high will not ride well, have enough pin weight. wet bolts, and shocks on the 5er. Good Shocks on the TV, I run Bilstein's.
I will adding Correct Track to bring to level and wet bolts this Spring, once that is done I expect a smooth ride.
