Reply to: Shocks on a trailer

[quote=leeboweffect]Our typical straight axle, leaf spring trailers w/o shocks do indeed give our boats a very rough ride particularly with when using 8, 10 or 12" tires. This is one of the reasons modern thin hull boats must have cradles for transport. I like the thinking as this setup is an attempt to dampen the bounce with poor man's independent suspension. Coil springs (or torsion hubs) would help too. I have removed one leaf from the springs on my trailer to soften the suspension. From the factory (a Dilly from 1978) my springs were so stiff they may have well not even been their.[/quote]
