As Seen On My Classic Car

On this segment of Hemming's Garage, Sam and Dennis check out a bolt-on accessory that can add some "major muscle" for the towing and hauling capabilities of your truck or SUV. An Active Suspension System from Roadmaster is designed to strengthen the rear leaf springs of your truck or SUV for towing or hauling maximum loads with maximum safety. One of the key benefits to this significant improvement and performance is that the system is designed to absorb the load rather than resisting it.

Roadmaster Active Suspension Systems also offer additional benefits for improving the safety of your vehicle in terms of its handling capabilities. Once installed, these systems help to eliminate sway, reduce dangerous roll on cornering, eliminate "bottoming out," and reduce "axel wrap" and "wheel hop" which can help to improve hard braking and acceleration. And the Roadmaster system accomplishes these tasks with or without a load in the bed or cargo compartment. In addition, you don't have to sacrifice the comfort of your ride. It also helps for better handling and control in windy and rough road conditions.

Other advantages in installing this system is that it can ultimately save money as it minimizes wear on tires, shocks, shackles, and leaf springs; however, one of the nicest features about this product is that it is easy to install and can be fitted in approximately one-hour with no welding, drilling, or clamping. And, once installed, there are no adjustments to be performed and no further maintenance is required. Also, during installation we at Hemming's My Classic Car would also like to remind you that if you're going to install the system yourself, be sure to keep safety first by using both jacks and jack stands to support the weight of your vehicle.

Roadmaster's Active Suspension Systems are constructed from high-grade alloy spring steel and come with a two year warranty. There is also a 30-day satisfaction guarantee and toll-free technical support.
