Do All the Shocks of Roadmaster Comfort Ride System Have to be Installed
Question:
I have a triple axle trailer that has a sewer discharge pipe that comes out from the underbelly at the center axle and very close to the frame and is plumbed towards the rear of the trailer. Without knowing required clearances, it looks like I would be able to install the shocks on the front and middle axle, but I dont think there would be enough room to install the shocks on the rear axle. Will not installing the shocks on the rear axle cause any serious problems? I havent looked too much into changing the sewer pipe plumbing, im hoping to avoid that. Trailer is a 2017 Grand Design Momentum 399TH.

The real benefit of the Roadmaster Comfort Ride Leaf Spring Suspension Kit w/ Shock Absorbers # RM-2460-2570-3 is being able to have shocks installed on each axle to dampen the movement. Not running the shocks on the rear axle would not be recommended. Basically the suspension of just this axle would behave differently than the others which would cause handling and tire wear issues most likely plus diminish the ability of the system to smoothen out the ride quality. Realistically you'd have to look into re-routing your sewer lines so that you can install this kit. It will be worth it though!
