[A/S] Hard ride
Hi All,
We just came back from a trip around Lake Michigan and stopped at
the southern shore of Lake Superior, what a beautiful county this is.
This time out I tried driving further in one day (375 miles) to be
able to spend more time in the area we wanted to explore. Found out
our old necks cann't take the bounce of the rig, felt like I was
beatup. I talked to the local trailer dealer of all types and he
offerd a hitch addition called "Easy Rider, Air Rider" trailer hitch.
Have any of you have any experience with this hitch? Their web page
(www.southeast-easyrider.com) implied the Air Ride hitch does not
like the effects of the equallizer bars that is part of the load
distribution.
I have measured the down loading of the my Reese equllizer bars
that the front of my vechical goes down the same as the back. With
fourty lbs. of air in the front tires and fifty in the back the ride
was better this time out then last, but my neck still aches, I am
sure there is some arthritis in there too.
Has any one been able to fit in a pick up or suburban the low
profile "Air Ride Bostrom" truck seats? There at
www.bostromseating.com
Any help to soften up the ride will be greatly appreciated by our
necks.
