First, Happy Holidays to all my OB brothers and sisters!

So I need some help. I have a 2018 VRV trailer that came stock with Dexter Axle #9Torflex. 2000# axle. The frame is alloy with aluminum floor. I have no idea you welding but I do understand alloy/aluminum creates an entirely new set of issues to modify my suspension.

I've been out a few times with the trailer and it bounces like there is no tomorrow. Not a safe suspension setup. I want to take it out more on the trails we do (Joshua Tree, Anza Borego, Coyote Flats, etc...) but not with the setup.

Does anyone know where or who I can contact to swap out my suspension to something off-road capable? I am open to to ideas (leaf springs, or others). I love the trailer and has great features....just not the suspension. Hope someone can help and thank you in advance!

Happy holidays! That´s a nice trailer.

Take a look onto the OB Map for members nearby. Maybe someone can help you pointing you towards the right contact for your suspension setup. Good luck!
