Joy Rider Shock system

[RCMAN46]

I am mainly posting this to show how much the center spring shackle bracket moves on a 5th wheel trailer.

Look at about 1:30 of the video. I was surprised at the lateral movement of the bracket that is welded to the frame of the trailer.

Yes I have a 5th wheel 2017 Jayco North Point I pull with a 2017 F350 CCSB and B&W hitch with 6 1/2" of bed clearance.


The cross member I added and is a MORryde X-Factor

The disk brakes I had done by Performance Trailer Braking

Yes I have heavy duty shackles and wet bolts. I had them put on at the dealer at purchase.

I looked up a North Point 315RLTS and it came back as a 5th wheel.

Is that correct?

Three things I noticed.

First your axles are on top of the springs. What are you towing with and do you have at least 6 inches from bed rail to trailer?

Second I noticed a cross member between the spring hangers. Was that factory or did you add it?

Third disk brakes. Factory or did you convert to disk? What disk system do you have?

Last looks like you have wet bolts.

I like the looks of the Joy Rider Shock system. I found it by accident on YouTube last night.

I watched it but from that viewpoint and the movement of the ground, it was really hard to tell if it was actual movement or just the illusion of movement due to the viewing angle.
