    Shocks on trailer

    Anyone have a tandem trailer with shocks on each axle?

    Would you happen to know the name or part number of the shocks. I have 4, two on each axle. I would think any shock, same length & diameter, would work but not sure of the load factor. Would hate to have to get them from Marine Master Trailers. You're right, lot of difference pulling a trailer without them. Also have disc brakes on all wheels which stops it really fast. I don't think the shocks need changing right away but will probably change them soon.
    Thanks

    I’m sorry I can’t help with that at the moment, I left my boat at the lake last weekend but will be back this weekend and I’ll look. I can’t imagine them being something special. I’d take one off and go to Napa and I’d bet they have the same thing in stock.

    That's what I was thinking.
    Thanks

    I have a Phoenix boat and I believe the same manufacturer builds the Triton trailers.
    The upgrade for shocks was only like ~ $300 when I ordered the boat, so I got them. It was well worth it (very smooth ride) and would do it again in a heartbeat.

    That's correct Jeff, Marine Masters builds them.

    Marine Masters no longer builds trailers for Triton, they got away from tube trailers. I would highly recommend shocks on the trailer.

    I think Triton builds their own trailers now but still build Phoenix I think. Not sure of that though.

    My 2018 trailer was built by Triton. They didn’t build it with the shocks I ordered and agreed to replace the trailer. The 2019 trailer I just got this month was built by EZ Loader.

    Yeah, I was just saying Marine Masters made mine with shocks in 2008. I never looked to see if they were still making them but wondered if I had to get shocks, I could get them somewhere else. I would thinks so but I have seen manufacturers make specific items for their brands also. That's usually my luck.
