Casita and some other brands make a shock kit for their torsion axle trailers. Has anyone seen anything for our Pod’s?  They love a good bounce.

I'm not sure how they'd work on most R-Pods, since the torsion spring sticks out beyond the side of the trailer. The new wide-body R-Pods might be able to use something like that.

Would certainly take an outrigger of sorts and someone here did one for support of the outbound axle. 

There's a like conversation on my builder's forum. The consensus over there was to go torsion over spring spring suspension if concerned about shocks, though a few have added shocks to their torsion units. Very open debate. I fall in the category of a few others there debating the benefit of the shocks.
