every thing ordered fit perfectly a little labor intensive but job completed in approximately 6 hrs shear springs will make a big difference as the old ones had worn out and were splitting bad on left side not so much on right but replaced both sides and all bushings and new wet bolts and shackles now the suspension is like new as my Montane is 10 yrs old
Along with replacing the springs on my tandem trailer I upgraded the equalizers shackles and installed with the wet bolt hardware. I am very satisfied with the quality of components. etrailer’s customer service and quick delivery will continue to be my first go to when I need parts.
I feel so much more confident the suspension will hold up to many miles of travel. I love that I can grease the bronze bushings and know that there is maximum protection in those joints. Of course I also love the smooth ride and less disruption inside the camper.
I sent the following comments by email earlier:
Nothing looks damaged although the packaging for shipment could be better. And when I opened the box with the shackles and wet bolts, it was obvious this was a returned order by someone else. It was not properly repackaged, and everything thrown in the box loose. Most of the parts were already cut out of the plastic shrink wrap and carboard backing. The only thing I can see missing at this point is the instructions. However, I have watched enough of the videos provided by eTrailer to be familiar with the installation process.
Thought I would let you know.
They are better than original. They have bronze bushings instead of oem plastic and they are greaseable. The most important part to me is that I was able to call etrailer and tell them about my need for these with the Road Armor and they were able to tell me which set to get. This modification allows me to pull the trailer safely and without issue down the road.
You need to make these brackets fo the sumo spring. My wet Bolt kits were great ! Much needey.
They were very easy to install. An inpact for the old bolts made the job easy.
It only took me 31/2 hour to do both sides. I have a 248RBS freedom express 20178. Need to check you shackle straps my were worn and the stock bushings were almost gone. Very good product.
These shackle turned out to be very well built, nearly twice the thickness and assuming you have basic mechanical skills, and can safety lift and support your unit to install, they were very easy to install. Mine have been installed for about a year and maybe 7K miles with no issues to report. While, I don't know how important the greasable aspect of these shackles are, it is nice to know I can easily grease them each year while inspecting my bearings.
I like that I can grease the bolts as the old ones were seized up. What I do need is four more bolts like the ones that go with the shackles for the other end of the spring. The existing springs had 1/4” positioning plates. I used existing bolts for now. Do you sell just four of the longer bolts?
I saw these on a Facebook RV site and after doing some research, I decided purchase them to help lessen some of the road shock from the terrible U.S. roads. As we know the quality control on RV construction is not the best. I figured anything I could due to prevent some of the road stress on the camper, was a good thing. I was very happy with the quality of theses equalizers, they are really a heavy duty product. I had them installed at the tire dealer while he was putting new tires on the RV. This saved some labor costs as the already had the tires off. I am a DIY person, but I did not feel comfortable dealing with the tension on the leaf springs. I did purchase wet bolts and bigger brackets to go with these, the customer service rep at etrailer help me select all the parts to make sure they were compatible with my camper.
When starting the installation remove the shackles from the fixed hangers first. When lowering the spring to expose the old bushing after taking out the bolt, lower it just far enough so it stays in the hanger but you can still knock the old bushing out. This way if the spring is slightly load to one side it will be easy just to jack the spring eye back in place with out have to struggle to line it back up. Ask me how I know. Other than that it was pretty straight forward. Looks to be well built.
I run my Work & Play toy hauler heavy and a lot of miles. The MORryde Suspension Upgrade Kit has been great! All parts fit as expected and once installed made for a quieter ride and easy bushing greasing through the installed Zerk fittings. My stock suspension had nylon bushings that wore out then the pivot bolts wore through the shackles. The brass replacement bushings received will probably last the life of the trailer.
Recommend checking your trailer suspension before it breaks leaving you stranded with the tire rubbing on the wheel well. This happened to me!
After Ashley and others helped in an emergency situation overnighting another package of MORryde wet-bolts/shackles, I was able to complete the installation along with a Correct Track Alignment/Lift Kit. This was a JOB with 2 dudes hard at it to get the wet bolts/shackles on with the alignment and lift kit, getting the axles aligned just in time to hit the road for our long scheduled vacation... I was missing 2 longer wet bolts for some reason? I have to to tell you it was FRANTIC at the end, since I was doing my own work luckily with a friends help. It's a 2 person job.But ETRAILER came through! Thank you gals and guys! Rated a 4 only because there weren't enough longer bolts that were missing. ETrailer sales and tech are a 5!
The package arrived as scheduled. Must have gotten banged around as the box had slight damage in one corner and two of the shackels were broken away from the package. The shackels sure look heavy duty. I could see a bolt breaking before any of these shackels
One reason I ordered the product was that the promised delivery date. This is the second time this has happened to me from this company. I had a trip planned for my family with the camper, and I wanted to get this product and install it on the camper for the trip. It took the package over 3 weeks to arrive, I was already on the road when it arrived.
There is no problem with the product, just the service. If you need something, and you want it from etrailer give it a good month to arrive!
These were a great upgrade over the stock shackle straps that came on my enclosed trailer with 5200 pound axles! The original shackles barely lasted 6 months when they wore through to the point of taking the trailer out of service. Now one year later you can’t even see any wear on these new ones. Will definitely buy them again when needed!
we just took the trailer with the MORryde suspension up grade on a 10,000 mile trip to Alaska & back over some very rough roads with no problems.
Excellent made the toy hauler ride much smoother.I like that it is greaseable. The original plastic bushings were wore out and very loose only being 5 years old with minimal use . The upgraded bronze bushings and being greaseable with outlast the original parts by far. Great product.
I have not installed them yet. But I did receive them today and man they look amazing. I was unaware of the existence of these, even when I was looking for replacement parts. Luckily I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for. I called in late one evening and received the help I truly deserved!
I was promptly helped to find the items I truly needed. No more worried for me. I had several issues with my order (all my fault) and each one was addressed perfectly.
I had a couple shackles that wouldn’t take grease no matter what I did, jacking it up to take the weight off. I ordered and replaced the 2 that wouldn’t take grease and problem solved.
Got my upgrade kit yesterday along with new springs and Road Armor equalizer. This will be a huge improvement over the stock units i had on the trailer. I want to give kudos to etrailer for the prompt and quality shipping. Everything is great. Also, to @BigTruckBigRV for the invaluable information on the different types of equalizers and parts. His report guided me to etrailer. Finally, and big thanks to Phillip and this guidance and suggestions. I had shopped on the web site and had a pretty good idea of what i was looking for and at. Phillip made a couple of key suggestions and really tied it all together for me. Thanks Phillip.
Excellent company service and group of people to work with. I had a self inflicted issue with my order and they got me back on track and got the new parts out to me the same day. Very happy!!! . Top notch company and more than that , employees that go out of their way to make sure that my order was taken care of .
Three week trip shortly after install with a new set of tires. Definite improvement in the ride and manners of the trailer. Smoother and less impact from semi trucks on the highway. Made the travel less tiring for sure.
This kit is so much heavier than the original I was concerned that I ordered the correct kit. Thanks to the ETrailer support staff for assisting me and getting the correct kit, the figment was perfect. Installation was very easy.
I’m glad I ordered the kit when I did as the original plastic bushings were already worn out.
