Does Roadmaster Comfort Ride Add Height to Trailer

Updated 04/17/2025 | Published 04/08/2025

Question:

My 1974 Silver Streak seems to have 26 inch leaf springs. Do you have a setup for that? My SUV is too low to raise the floor level 2 inches. Can I install the system with the springs under the axles, leaving the shocks off, then change it up later, adding the shocks?

The Roadmaster Comfort Ride systems do not add height to the trailer if that is what you are asking about. You also can't use them without the shock kits. What diameter axles do you have and what capacity?

The current arrangement of the trailer axels is that the axles are above springs. If I move the axles below the springs it will raise the trailer up by the height of the spring stack plus the thickness of the axle. Moving the axle below the springs is the only way I see for the shocks to fit. Am I wrong about that? I believe the axles are square 1 3/4 and 5000 lbs per axle, but I need to measure them to make certain. Thanks for your help.

@Bill The Comfort Ride system can work on overslung and underslung setups so you would not need to flip your axles or anything. Also verify axle diameter as a 5k axle is probably 3 inch diameter but would want to verify since exactly 5k isn't a standard capacity.
