Misnomer...loll...
OKAY, then redefining is what you want? They (Shocks) are either or both of Shock absorbers or Oscillation dampers. They are STILL NOT SPRINGS or LOAD-BEARING devices. Therefore... Install or order springs for the load and shocks for the bounce. DO NOT ORDER AIR-SHOCKS to counter improper loading of trailer. ( as you had so casually suggested ) "Daniel J.

Geez - you'd think a complex formula could be summed up in an approximate two-word name for something!! At least my attempt uses three words - 1/3 again as much ability to define complex equations.

There has been no mention of the "Torsion Bars" being used on the
trailer. These must be adjusted to the proper level. Another point is, We would never pull a trailer heavier than the tow vehicle. Bob |
