The same methodologies applied to older teardrop trailers, outfitting them with suspension lifts and larger tires, and fortifying them with stronger materials that can handle the abuse of off-road driving.
The advantages of having this type of trailer behind you are quite obvious. The extra space, easy access and convenience of bringing that gear anywhere you want is a major selling point. Perhaps more obvious, the drawbacks of having to lug around a trailer behind your rig and the cost associated with building or buying a pre-built one prohibit many off-roaders from taking this route.
For those of us who enjoy the off-road lifestyle, there can be nothing more relaxing than a weekend away from the city life, taking in all that nature has to offer. As our tastes evolve and change over the years, we're sometimes prompted to reevaluate of the best way to camp in the outdoors.

Adventure-Ready Gladiator. The negative to a lighter spring is that when fully compressed 8 inches with a lb spring you only get lbs of force, per corner to help stop you from bottoming out. That is lbs less if you add up all four corners! In a Dual Spring not dual rate system picture 2 you have two springs on your shock that are separated by a plastic or nylon spring divider.
The divider is designed to keep the springs in line as well as act as a bushing for the shock and keep the springs from rubbing on the shock body. If the shock were compressed one inch then BOTH of the springs would compress a little to add up to that inch. Also, since each springs rate is not added together the combined spring rate can be considerably lower than a single spring system.
Lets take the lb spring from earlier and use TWO lb springs in this case. In this dual spring system you have a combined rate of lbs per inch of compression. Still tough? It is true. Below is a picture of a Dual Rate spring chart for you to use as a reference any time. Now lets compress this Dual Spring system 8 inches.
The total pressure exerted is lbs per shock. Remember you now have a combined spring rate of lbs per inch. You would most certainly bottom this system out in a medium hit. In order to get back to the same spring rate as a stock, single spring system you would have to use two lb springs. Why bother running a Dual Spring system if it is the same linear rate as a single spring? Good question.
Here is where it gets good. In a true Dual Rate Spring system there are two springs and a spring divider just as before but you have one crucial extra item, a cross over ring. This ring threads onto the shock body inside of the upper coil spring. Once it contacts the spring divider, when the suspension is compressed, the upper coil spring is no longer used. The cross over ring has stopped the upper spring from compressing. Why is this good? Because, now you are only using the lower spring in your Dual Rate Spring system.
Until the cross over ring hits the divider you are feeling a lb combined spring rate which is plush but not enough spring to stop you from bottoming out.
Once the upper spring is cancelled out by the cross over you are now feeling the Single lower spring rate of lbs per inch! You just doubled your effective spring rate by going to a Single spring. If the first two inches of travel are dual spring rate of lbs lbs total for two inches and the last 6 inches of travel are single spring rate of lbs lbs total your total spring pressure at compression is lbs.
The cool thing about this set up is that your butt got to feel the soft, plush ride of a lb rate for the first two inches of travel before you hit something big enough to compress past that and get into the lb lower spring for the rest of the travel. But wait, we are still missing lbs of total pressure when fully compressed compared to the stock single spring. No problem. Lets run a lb upper spring and a lb lower spring. Now in this Dual Spring Rate system the first 2 inches of travel you are feeling lb spring rate in your butt.
Nice and plush.
