Is There a Shock Kit Available for a Torsion Axle Trailer Carry UTV
Updated 12/15/2020 | Published 12/11/2020
Question:
I bought a 10 Aluminum single axle trailer with a torsion ride axle. This little trailer bounces so severely that it will take the 1500# UTV out of its tire straps. Is there a way to add shocks?

I may have a solution for you to help control your UTV in a better manner than your current ratchet straps are doing when it's loaded on the trailer, but I'm not aware of any shock system available that will mount to torsion axles. We've had a lot of customers rave about the ShockStrap Ratchet Tie-Down Straps w Shock Absorbers - 2" x 9' - 2,000 lbs - Qty 2 # 297-9RSDB, which have shock absorbers built into the straps that keep them from loosening in conditions like you've mentioned. These would be what I recommend as an alternative, and it's much more cost effective at the end of the day.
I've linked some review videos that show how these work that I recommend checking out.
