Suspension mounting information At Trout River we bolt our suspension to the tub, rather than weld it for a few simple reasons: •
•
•
Flexibility o With our design, the bolts allow for some flex between the suspension, and tub. This reduces the strain placed on the mount, reducing the possibility of cracking Strength o The shear strength of these grade 8 bolts is very high, and it ensures the trailer has the exact same mounting strength every time. Maintenance/ changeability o If work needs to be done to the tub or suspension, sometimes it is convenient to have the option of separating them o We’ve had customers who have changed out their suspension for one with more, or less axles o Although this circumstance isn’t common, with our mounting system it is possible
