Question:

I have a tandem axle 10k gvwr boat trailer, my boat is aluminum and is taking a beating traveling down dirt roads, noticing cracks in the vertical posts for the hard top. I have welded the cracks and cracks are coming back, I believe this is a result of the trailer and not from boating on the river. My question is will the MORryde AllTrek 4000 Equalizers help reduce the beating of the boat on the trailer or is there a better suspension upgrade that would smooth the ride? I also have minimal clearance from tire to inside fender well approx 3 inches, thank you

Hey Ken, thanks for reaching out!

The MORryde ALLTREK 4000 Shock Absorbing Equalizers, 33" Wheelbase # MR89DR or 35" Wheelbase # MR29DR, are a good upgrade to a standard leaf spring suspension and will help to provide a better ride quality for your trailer and boat.

There are definitely better suspension upgrades like the Roadmaster Comfort Ride Leaf Spring Suspension Kit w/ Shock Absorbers # RM-2460-2570, but this is a really big suspension upgrade so it is priced accordingly.

I will say that if you're driving on dirt roads you'll also want to take it slow - even with a great suspension system your boat could still experience bumps on roads that aren't paved.
