Suspension Enhancement for 2020 Enclosed Trailer Carrying CanAm Spider

Question

Question:

I have a 2020 VNose enclosed trailer with a 3500lb axle. I use it to tow my 1800lb CanAm Side by side. Because the machine is heavier on one side than the other........the trailer sags to the right, and is not level down the road. Is there a helper spring kit I could install that would correct this condition. I do not see one on your site. this is a leaf spring trailer. Thank you

We have the Timbren kit part # T92MR which can provide up to 5,000 lbs of additional support that will work great to help level your enclosed trailer. This installs on both sides of the trailer but with the additional support on both sides it will still help level from side to side.
