Roadmaster - Principles Of Roadmaster Active Suspension

Roadmaster Active Suspension

 
The Principles of How Roadmaster Active Suspension Operates
 
Our patented Active Suspension system for rear leaf springs improves vehicle control, safety and stability without changing the ride quality.  The two variable rated coil springs fit onto the rear leaf springs of pickup trucks,vans and SUV's. Once installed, loaded tension from the RAS variable rated coil springs instantly generate energy to the rear leaf springs holding the leaf springsin their original designed bowed position. Like powerful muscles, when strain from the load (payload, tow load or vehicle weight shifts, etc) is applied to the leaf springs the RAS stabilizers come into action immediately, absorbing the force of the load. When cornering, RAS reduces body roll and improves stability supporting the spring which is taking the increased load. This is especially true for SUV's and other vehicles with a high center-of-gravity. The greater the strain, the more counter assistance force from the RAS unitenabling vehicles to carry maximum loads without bottoming through.

RAS Will Increase Load Carrying Capacity 50% Above O.E.M. Rating

When fitted, never load the vehicle beyond the manufacturers' maximum GVWR.
Roadmaster Active Suspension kits are designed to vastly improve road handling
and load carrying ability, with or without a load, when fitted to pickups, vans and sports utilities, with rear leaf springs. Refer to our application guide for the correct kit for your vehicles.
 
 
What does the Roadmaster Active Suspension do?

  • Improves driver control, safety and stability, with or without a load
  • Improve load carrying capacity like helper springs or other load assist products but without the usual sacrifice of ride comfort due to added stiffness
  • Improve fuel efficiency when operating under load and reduce the operating cost extending the life of leaf springs, shocks, shackles and most of all, tires
  • Eliminates bottoming out like air systems while never requiring adjusting or applying pressure to points on your frame
  • Eliminates sway and reduces roll on corners like anti-sway bars
  • Reduces axle wrap and wheel hop like traction bars
  • Strengthens rear leaf springs for towing or hauling maximum loads with maximum safety
  • Absorbs load, rather than resisting it, thereensuring a much more comfortable ride
  • Eliminates the need for fitting extra blades which harden the ride
  • Better handling and control in windy and rough road conditions
  • Easy to install, can be fitted in approximately 60 minutes with no welding or drilling
  • Secured under its own coil spring tension
  • User friendly, once installed no adjustment or maintenance required
  • Manufactured from high grade alloy spring steel
  • Save money and minimize wear on tires, shocks, shackles and leaf springs
  • 30 Day Money Back Satisfaction Guarantee!
  • Toll-free technical support
 
The Bottom Line...
Roadmaster Active Suspension should be regarded as a necessity not just an accessory

Now the world no. 1 leafspring interactve support system

 
 
Roadmaster Active Suspension consists of a set of two variable related coil springs designed to assist rear leaf springs.

As the leaf springs on the rear suspension begin to take strain, the stabilizers come into action. The greater the strain the more the counter assistance force from the Roadmaster, enabling vehicles to carry maximum loads stipulated manufacturers' specifications without bottoming out. Being coil springs the stabilizers provide a smooth ride without sway.

On cornering the Roadmaster reduces roll supporting the spring that is taking the increased load.

Roadmaster is designed to eliminate shock on the suspension itself, thus extending the life of leaf springs, shock absorbers, shackles and tyres, offering improved stability.

There is no loosening or removal of any parts and no alteration of any existing parts on any vehicle. The design specifically respects the manufacturer's original assembly.

The axle anchor bracket is designed for any axle housing design through special adjustments that are available in the anchor bracket, particularly where the axles are fitted over the leaf spring or under the leaf spring. All adjustments are simple and easy to adapt.

Same kit for all vehicles

  All light to medium vehicles and 4x4 SUVs with leaf springs use the same kit, with a choice of 3 tension springs, each of which is applicable to particular models and types of vehicles, depending on load capacity.  These tension springs are manufactured and guaranteed to be suitable in strength and ability to combine with the tension of each grade of tension coil spring from diameter 8mm to 12mm
