Question:
I have a 36 foot 5th wheel trailer 2018 Arctic Fox 32-5m and I would like to upgrade the suspension. What is the best option between the Lippert Center Point, Roadmaster Comfort Ride and the Timbren Silent Ride?

Expert Reply:
The best option to upgrade the suspension on your 2018 Northwood Arctic Fox 5th Wheel 32-5M is to use the Roadmaster Comfort Ride. It creates an independent suspension system that uses center hanger boxes to isolate the leaf springs. It also has additional shocks that will give you a smoother ride than the Lippert Center Point item # LC1565391 and the Timbren Silent Ride item # T34FR.
Which Roadmaster system you need is going to depend on your axle size and diameter. I am getting conflicting information online so I am going to give you the options and you'll just need to verify which one you need by looking at one of your axle tags.
If you have 7,000 lbs axles that are 3" in diameter you'll need the Roadmaster Comfort Ride Leaf Spring Suspension Kit w/ Shock Absorbers item # RM-2460-2570.
If you have 8,000 lbs axles that are also 3" in diameter you'll need the Roadmaster Comfort Ride Leaf Spring Suspension Kit w/ Shocks item # RM-2460-2580.
If you have 8,000 lbs axles that are 3-1/2" in diameter you'll need the Roadmaster Comfort Ride Leaf Spring Suspension Kit w/ Shocks item # RM-2470-2580.
I have linked an installation video below so you can see the process for getting the Comfort Ride System installed.
