Question:
Which Trailer suspension would be my best choice 2013 Montana 5th wheel, Roadmaster Comfort Ride or Timbren Silent Ride? Trailer has tandem 6000 lb axles. And can the Timbren be lowered to raise the trailer to stock height?

Expert Reply:
I'll start out by saying that the Timbren Silent Ride Suspension for Tandem Axle Trailers w/ 3" Round Axles - 7,000 lbs # TSR7000T05 cannot be adjusted to raise or lower the height of the trailer; putting anything between the trailer frame and the system might create more stress on the connections than the system can handle and cause a malfunction.
With that said, I recommend going with the Roadmaster Comfort Ride Shock Absorbers for Tandem Axle Trailers - 5,200 to 7,000-lb Axle # RM-2460 because the nitrogen-charged shock absorbers will do a much better job at helping eliminate trailer bouncing, chucking, and porpoising. This kit will work with the 6000-lbs axles on your 2013 Keystone Montana. If you wanted to also replace the springs, you can use the RM-2460-2570 kit, which has the shock absorbers and the replacement leaf spring system for trailers with 3" round axles.
I've linked a short review video of these for you to check out.
