Can Roadmaster Comfort Ride Shocks and Equa-Flex Equalizers be Added to Trailer
Question:
Some of the QandAs give impression that upgrading BOTH Equalizers AND adding RM Shocks is not necessary. Is is a good plan to upgrade with both?? I am considering adding both equiflex equalizers and the Roadmaster shock to my Heartland NorthTail.

There really isn't any harm in adding both the Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers, like part # LC279688, along with the Comfort Ride Shock Absorbers, like part # RM-2450. In fact, Roadmaster has their Roadmaster Comfort Ride Leaf Spring Suspension Kit w/ Shock Absorbers # RM-2460-2570 which is their way of upgrading the equalizers too so I would say if you're wanting to upgrade both go for it.
I think the mentality behind only installing one for now is that if one product takes care of your problem then it may not be necessary to add both. If you want to add both suspension components then it's best to do it while you're already working on your trailer so that you don't have to deal with getting under your trailer again. It is completely your call though and I've added some review videos that you can reference to help you make your decision.
