I suppose I can answer this. Yes, each roller arm is supported by a gas shock independently of every other. You can just see a hint of them if you look at the extra pivot point attached to the back roller, which serves to offset the shock away from the top drive roller.

Check it out at Lansing (week 4) and Howell (week 5).
