Technology That Amazes.
A Trailer Suspension That Delivers Amazing Results.

Patented Pivot Bushing.

  • Pivot BushingBushing with steel interleaf shims provides better fore/aft stiffness than competitive designs
    • Provides excellent roll stiffness, minimizing roll steer for better trailer tracking during cornering
    • Maintains correct axle position during operation for improved tire life
  • Strategically positioned voids impart vertical compliance
    • Absorb road input for a softer ride and better cargo protection
  • Helps reduce torsional stresses at the axle for greater suspension durability

Heavy-Duty Shock Absorbers.

  • Shock AbsorbersLarger shock absorbers specifically tuned to the suspension provide three times more damping power than competing designs
  • High damping forces deliver suspension control
    • Maintain a more consistent tire footprint for increased tread life and better stopping
    • Provide a more controlled ride
  • Shock AbsorbersLarge-bore design with high fluid capacity for cool operation and longer life
  • Tube-style shock mounts effectively withstand the load of suspension movement while the long, large-diameter bolts maintain optimum clamp load
  • Integral rebound check feature protects against air-spring overextension

Axle Connection.

  • Axle ConnectionPatent-pending axle wrap design provides a secure axle connection for greater overall suspension durability
    • Specially configured window geometry provides a more effective load distribution for maximum strength
    • Weld is continuous with no open start or stop, eliminating high stress points
    • Axle wrap adds thickness and strength to the axle at critical connection areas
  • Robotically welded for structural integrity
