Anyone add shocks to a TSC 4x8?

Postby CPlater » Wed Aug 19, 2009 10:58 am

I'm going to be picking up a 4x8 TSC trailer this weekend and it would seem like this would be the best time to install some shock absorbers while the frame is still neckid. It would seem that Monroe has discontinued the small trailer mount RB514 so unless there is another source, it looks like I'll need to fabricate some mounts. So I'm looking for so ideas that have or have not worked and any input would be greatly appreciated.

There are several examples of shocks added to TSC (CarryOn) trailers scattered on the forum. My shocks seem to be doing a good job on the empty trailer I hope they do their job when the tear is completed.

I think a search will result in a good thread about a year ago on installing shocks on these trailers.

If you have seen it, this recent thread had some good info:

I'd be interested in your results if you add them, I'm looking at the TSC trailer and thought about adding the shocks to smooth things out on unpaved roads.

I'd done some searching on the forums but for some reason missed this particular one for an actual TSC (Carry-on) frame.

I will likely do something very similar perhaps with a bracket that looks something like this:
