As well, the installation drawing I made up was sent to Lippert for approval and nothing was asked to be changed.

Now that is funny.
All the drawings that I have sent in didn't get a response indicating that changes were needed either.:B
Lippert or any other big company doesn't respond to every wanna be engineer that sends in proposed mod plans to their products.. Too much liability for them.
Lippert ignored you didn't they? If you even did that.
They are probably still laughing at the office.
I agree ... believing that a manufacturer would respond to such a thing shows a high degree of lack of understanding how things work. While I'm far from what I would call knowledgeable in subjects such as this it seems at least to me clearly demonstrate why one has to be careful in mucking around with some things. Of course I'm also one to strongly question the need for shocks on a non passenger carrying vehicle such as a trailer. I would guess for those few trailers offering such an option it is mainly there for marketing purposes and not for any real "ENGINEERING BASED NEED".

If as you reason they are not needed, then why did my now 11 year old 5er come with them from the factory. Someone up there must have thought they were needed. JMHO.
