Which shocks are you running on your trailer??

 

I do not run them on trailers

 

maybe mine is too light and that is what causes mine to bounce so much...

 

Also i have heard of long travel... but what is this called???

 

Lower the tire pressure to 25ish

Twin I beam or wishbone front end.
That's the way the Broncos were. Shitty for the rocks but pretty good for high speed

 

Got the tekonsha P3 brake controller installed last night in preparation for the new trailer brakes I just bought. During the install I also found the issue with my locker switch so I went ahead and fixed that too. Locker and brake controller ready for action!!

 

I think that is where they are at now. I have been told by people that it doesnt bounce too bad on the highways, however i have seen a couple times that its looked to have gotten a bit of air coming on/off overpasses when the roads dont exactly line up...

Also when im driving down the main road at barnwell it bounces a ton! So i bought double eye leafs with hangers so that i can maybe get a bit of "flex" which is also why i need shocks. The leafs i got are rated at 1250 each so i was thinking i would just shorten the bottom leaf to allow the top leaf to flex more and have a "lighter load".

 

I’ll be damned!

 

I think they're jeep take-offs from the previous owner... nothing fancy just generic stuff.

 

Mine always bounces in gilmer, all the way to colorado it was good. Only time I was a bit concerend was we were racing up a mountain to try and meet our rafting guide in time, with a dirt road and it was bouncing and drifting on the turns. It never flipped but I also run 40 psi in the tires. A longer leaf pack will help you out or you can go the short shock route if you really think k you need it

Saw it in my rearview and was thinking it looked familiar, then I saw the solid front axle. Does he have an IG account?

 

Not that I can recall. I can prob find him through FB if you’re trying to reach out to him.

 

I'm Facebookless but was curious what else he did to it. Also I dont have a tundra unfortunantly
