How does it work?

The kit includes a set of two very powerful, variable rated coil tension springs that when installed, support and assist the rear leaf springs by holding them in there original (designed) bowed position. When downward strain from load or vehicle weight shift is applied to the leaf springs the stabilizing action of the Roadmaster Active Suspension system comes into action immediately absorbing the forces of the load. Being variable rated, the greater the strain, the more counter assistance force is applied from our active suspension system. Simple unique design, easily installed in about one hour with minimal tools. You will need a jack (trolley jack if available) , jack stands, open end wrenches, ratchet/socket.

These active suspension kits by Roadmaster are designed to vastly improve road handling and load carrying ability, with or without a load, when fitted with the rear leaf springs.

  • Strengthens rear leaf springs for towing or hauling maximum loads without bottoming out.
  • Improves driver control, safety and stability with or without a load.
  • Absorbs the load, rather than resisting it, thereby ensuring a much more comfortable and safer ride.
  • Eliminates sway and reduces roll on corners.
 
  • Does not in any way obstruct movement of the leaf springs, unlike other products which are clamped and harden your ride.
  • Reduces axle wrap and wheel hop.
  • Saves money by minimizing wear on tires, shocks, shackles and leaf springs.
  • Manufacture from high grade alloy spring steel.

September 28, 1999

Hi Bob
Another summer gone by with a lot of miles put on the old Dodge. After the "May Madness" event I didn't get the suspension kit installed till about the middle of July. At this time we were getting ready for our grand tour to Alaska, which started July 21.

As for measurements the truck without the kit the rear would set down 5" with the camper on, with the kit installed the rear dropped only 3". Our camper loaded is about 2500 lbs.

We had one incident that was really scary, we were coming into Whitehorse, Yukon Territory. Cruising along about 9 a.m. in the morning I noticed this SUV, Blazer starting to cross the centerline and not turning back, in the next instant half of the vehicle was across the centerline and heading right at us. My reaction: hit the horn, crank the steering wheel right and hope he didn't hit us and that we wouldn't roll over! At the last moment the other driver turned his steering wheel and we avoided a head on. I never lost control of the truck. That was to close for us but without the active suspension kit I can only imagine what might have happened.

The Roadmaster system does everything that your data talks about. I guess that about covers it for now, thanks again, you have a great product!

Best Regards
G&J Spargo

Dear Bob:

I just thought that I would take a minute to let you know how thrilled I am with the "Road Master Active Suspension System" that I purchased.

As you know I have worked as a traffic accident investigator for about fifteen years. During that time I have investigated several accidents that involved "sport utility" vehicles and drive one of my own. "Sport utility" vehicles have a reputation of being unstable and can have handling problems during sudden hazard avoidance maneuvers. These problems are primarily caused by tow problems inherent in the design:
1. Sport utility vehicles generally have a higher center of gravity than other passenger cars and trucks.
2. In sudden hazard avoidance situations, the weight of the vehicle transfers from one side of the vehicle to the other. This constant loading and unloading of the weight on the vehicles to the springs and shock absorbers is primary cause of handling problems that can lead to the loss of control and or vehicle roll over.

As soon as the "Road Master" system was installed on the rear leaf springs of my Yukon I noticed a tremendous improvement in the handling characteristics. Even while applying the maximum braking, I noticed that my Yukon was easily controlled and the weight transfer was less severe during avoidance maneuvers.

I would recommend that anyone that owns or is considering the purchase of a "sport utility" vehicle or a van should consider installing the Active Suspension system.

Sincerely,
R. Witham
