Shock Kit for 2006 Keystone Passport to Stop Trailer Bouncing
Question:
Hello, I have a 2009 Keystone Passport Travel Trailer that is very bouncy on the concrete highways around us. Im going to do some suspension upgrades to resolve the problem. Im starting with a CRE3000 Equalizer and wet bolt kit, but then Im also contemplating adding the roadmaster comfortride shocks or trailer sumosprings. Would either of these be a helpful addition? Also, the trailer has the wide, 42 axle spacing. does the roadmaster kit still work?

Expert Reply:
The shock kit will do the best at preventing the bouncing since they dampen the movement of the suspension which slows it down. This is why vehicle suspension does not bounce like trailer suspension since vehicles have shocks/struts. If you have a 3,500 lb trailer axle with a 2-3/8 diameter the # RM-2450 would be what you'd need.
If instead you have a 3 inch diameter axle which is the size for 5,200 to 7,000 lb axles the kit you'd need is the part # RM-2460 instead. These kits will work great with a CRE3000 equalizer kit part # MR54AR as well as with a 42 inch axle spacing.
