Is There a Roadmaster Comfort Ride Suspension Kit & Shocks For Tandem 8,000 lb 3 Inch Axles

Question:

I have a Vanleigh Beacon 34RLB with 8K tandem axles. I want the 8k Roadmaster Leaf Spring Suspension Kit. But, the Shock part of the Kit is for 3 1/2 axles. Vanleigh uses Lippert 8K axles that are 3. Can I get a 2580 8K Slipper kit with a 2460 3 Shock kit?

Yes there is! You can get exactly that - a Roadmaster Comfort Ride system with shocks for your 8,000 lb axles that are 3 inches in diameter. What you need is the following:

- Roadmaster Comfort Ride Leaf Spring Suspension Kit w/ Shocks - Tandem 8K, 3" Trailer Axles # RM-2460-2580

The # RM-2460-2580 is a combination of the 2580 slipper springs that have the capacity you need for your 8,000 lb axles and the 2460 shocks that fit 3" diameter axles.

You made a really smart choice going with the Comfort Ride kit because the slipper springs and shocks work together to give you a quieter, more controlled way to tow.
