With the Road Armor system integrated into your trailer, comfortless rides are one less thing for you to worry about while you travel. With its anti-shock technology, road shock and vibrations transferred from both the leading and trailing leaf springs are dampened, resulting in less chucking and a smoother ride. Engineered to obtain maximum absorption, Road Armor is designed to offer RVers and trailer owners a superior suspension enhancement solution that can be added as an easy aftermarket upgrade and is also offered as a great substitution for torsion axles. The patent-pending design incorporates a single pivoting arm that is permanently engaged with the trailer axle leaf springs. This allows Road Armor to constantly absorb and dampen road shock whether it is coming from the leading or trailing spring, utilizing the trailer’s natural motion. Once road shock and vibrations are encountered, they are transferred to one of two customized durometer rubber shock absorbers. Competing products use rubber compounds with the consistency of a hockey puck, which does little to absorb anything and transfers this shock directly into the RV chassis and concurrently into the sidewall. How is 360 degrees of protection attainable? Simple, each side of the Road Armor Equalizer has 3 inches of total vertical travel capability. When the lead leaf spring encounters road shock, it will kick the Road Armor’s lead side vertically up to one and a half inches, while the trailing side will push down up to one and a half inches. The adverse reaction happens on the opposite side of the Road Armor Equalizer when the trailing axle incurs the same road vibration. That’s 360-degrees and 6 total inches of unparalleled protection!
