Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

If I do anything it will be in an attempt to soften my suspension. I'm looking for a better highway ride and not worried about off road issues.
I'm way over springed for what I anticipate my final curb weight to be.
I would have probably been fine with a single axel under my 7×16, but I decided to take the duellie on the lot.
Floating down the highway like an old Cadillac would be perfect.

• Au contraire! I've always gone the other direction, preferring to feel the road beneath the tires while driving, sensing road conditions more accurately, in my past life's penchant for fast driving & performance; I always hated "floating" along with no feedback from the steering, tires, or suspension, so I always modified my vehicles towards that harsher, but to me, more desirable direction. Predictable, repeatable paths of travel seemed safer at the vehicles' limits.
• The active bumpstop idea "sprang" (double entendre!) from a desire to prevent the over-flexing and resultant breakage of the leaf springs, and, by modifying the Daystar bumpstop to be more pliable at the apex, it could also serve to tame the constant movement of the firm suspension over various road variances. I could still soften it more, but it seems to work fine, as-is.
