Mark;
I understand what you are saying. Lets not forget that what we are 
talking about here is transporting a race car on a small trailer. As far 
as inside a trailer or boat. I know of many racers that just control the 
horizontal movement. Nothing is stored close enough for the bouncing to 
cause any problem and it is a lot faster and easier to load. Also 
compressing the springs in a large trailer or boat doesn't effect the 
handling of the trailer or boat.
