I have been thinking about installing the shocks on my CTC. What makes it worth it? I am not concerned about the ride in the trailer, but if it will improve handling and rocking in crosswinds and etc., it may be worth it to me. I have to put on 4 for the tandems so I'd like a real review instead of manufacturer's advertising.

i installed them for the same reasons, improved handling and because we tend to camp on crown land so we end up using logging and fire access roads which tend to be bumpy particularily in the spring, keeps everything in place for the last few miles of the trip. i haven't had a chance to tow it yet with the shocks installed but my experiences with my utility trailer which has shocks tows very nice, it's like it's floating, instead of bouncing over every bump . when i do take it for a test drive i will post up a review. i got them on amazon for $44cdn each, a lot less in usd

Thanks, I will be interested to know how it goes. Can you share the link for the shocks? I saw some on e-Trailer, but much more expensive... and did these come with the mounts?

got the first layer of iso board up, next chore i think will be replacing the 3/4” osb floor with 1/2” plywood which is half of the weight, saves a hundred pounds of weightModstock wrote:If you look into jeep wrangler (YJ) leafspring plates, they have those welded just like that from the factory and they are beefy.
