Ridewell Suspensions has introduced another in its line of lightweight, fully integrated trailer suspensions with the release of 20,000- and 25,000-lb low-mount-height models for the RAR-266 product family. Both systems are available in drum or disc brake axle configurations with standard or custom axle widths.

The 20,000-lb version uses a narrow bushing design to achieve what Ridewell calls a lightweight, durable system that fits applications with limited space. The 20K suspension can be configured for use with 19.5- and 22.5-in. tires at a 7-in. ride height.

The 25,000-lb model allows customers to standardize on a wide-bushing pivot connection while accommodating 6.25- to 9.5-in. ride heights. Both systems take advantage of a 5.75-in. large-diameter axle combined with short cams to minimize axle weight. The integrated system saves installation time and requires less maintenance.
