Has anyone put shocks on 19' GeoPro or ePro?

[Outsider]

I have a 2020 GeoPro G19FD with the square tube Dexter axle (with rubber inside). I get a good bit of rocking and bouncing on almost all roads. Anyone know of any add-on shocks for these or similar single-axle units?


Thanks.

what is your tire pressure set at?
many people look at the max pressure as being the recommended pressure

if it is bouncing ... you can try lowering your tire pressure

I would think making the tire pressure lower would cause more side to side wobble and bounce and sway more than usual.


One reason I like the Torsion bar axle. I guess they don't do this on the Geo ePro?



But who knows.

when lowering pressure find the tire manufacture's pressure chart for the tire size

I installed the "Lippert Road Armor" equalizers on our 35' TT this past summer. I did notice a difference in bounce and jerking. Inside items stayed on the counter and table. There was nothing hiding behind the slides to interfere with opening them.

The original tires on my 2020 G19FD (Westlake) had a much lower PSI than the Goodyear replacements. With the Goodyears the trailer bounced a lot on our lousy CA roads. I talked to a very knowledgeable person at Goodyear and he told me the Maximum tire pressure is just that, the Maximum. I dropped the pressure down to 75 from 80 psi and it made an enormous difference.

Here is the Goodyear inflation chart.
