Shocks and tire balancing

[berniross]

We are on first extended trip in the new fiver. My previous one came with shocks and the tires were balanced. The new one has neither, and things seem to get bounced around a lot more. Is it typical to not have shocks? Any ideas about if they can/should be added?

I have a Keystone Copper Canyon, installed the Lippert kits, big differance in ride of the 5er.

Dexter does make a shock installation kit, but it might not fit your trailer. Both Dexter and Lippert offer an alternative suspension enhancement that greatly improves the ride quality of your fiver. Lippert has Trail Air suspension and Dexter has E-Z Flex suspension.
Good advise on balancing your tires.

Dexter has a Shock Kit......LINK
Probably available via other vendors

And get the tires balanced......

I'm sure they can be added and yes, the tires need balancing. If it turns, it needs balancing.
