Any ideas on how to soften the beating I'm getting from towing my travel trailer over Expansion Joint on Michigan Roads?

Couldn't be any worse than Pennsylvania, but yeah, I feel like I need to hold on for 8 seconds sometimes and it goes on for miles.

Yes, the Bilstein 4600s are a big improvement over the stock shocks. The tires spend more time on the pavement and less time in the air.

Passed through the panhandle last month and spent a year in Amarillo one night. Thanks, but no thanks.
