Your tires will last twice as long and the trailer is quieter and pulls better. Its a no brainer for a boat trailer. _________________________ Darren www.redriverinspection.com www.tammimontgomery.com

I use to keep a floor jack in my truck when pulling a trailer with them. _________________________ Thank you, Shawn Smith Reel Repair Super Tuning Painting LED lights Bass Boat Alarms Dobyns ProCull www.hoodoobaits.com Oscars Custom Painting Tournament Saver Pro We do installs in Grand Prairie

Happykamper Extreme Angler Registered: 01/20/07 Posts: 2488 Loc: Southlake, Texas	My trailer came with shocks on it, I sure do like the Ranger trailers, my Triron trailer is ok but I don't think it is as nice as the Ranger.
