Hi Paul, you’re definitely on the right track here, and I can help you narrow this down with confidence. With your tandem 3,500 lb Dexter axles and 33 inch spacing, both the Dexter EZ Flex part #K71-652-00 and the Lippert Road Armor part #LC53CK are…
You can use leaf springs that are rated higher than the axle without any issues as long as they measure the correct measurement for your trailer. For example the 6-leaf double eye spring for 7,000 lb axles part #e64SR measures 24-7/8" eye to…
Hey Ian, great to hear from you again! The differences between the MORryde CRE3000 #MR87ZR and AllTrek 4000 #MR89DR that fit a 33" wheelbase is the height between the hanger and equalizer bolts, and the amount of travel the suspension style will…
I would love to help you upgrade the suspension on your Twilight 2800 travel trailer. The MORryde Rubber Equalizers for Tandem Axle Trailers #MR87ZR that you referenced are a great solution but we do need to double check a few things. First is that…
Thank you for providing the specs for the suspension components that you already have. Correct hanger spacing really depends on the components being used such as springs, hangers and equalizers. Most of the hanger spacing dimensions that we have are…
Yes, axle spread and wheel base by definition are the same measurements. You will measure from the center of one axle to the center of the 2nd axle to determine what you axle spread is. This may be difficult as some wheels and covers will make this…
Hello Lanny, thanks for reaching out. The CRE 3000 is already a pretty good suspension system, but if you want to upgrade, the first thing that comes to mind are the AllTrek 4000 equalizers. They have more rubber than the CRE 3000, 40% more, so you…
The determine the correct replacement leaf spring on your 2021 Coachmen 259FKDS you'll need to lift your trailer frame so the spring is hanging freely and then measure from center-eye to center-eye, then for the equalizer you need to measure…
The Lippert Equa-Flex #LC145546 is the closest cushioned equalizer from Lippert to fitting your Grand Design 2800BH. This particular kit is rated for 5K-8K axles. The MORryde CRE3000 #MR27ZR is going to be the best option for your camper. While this…
Hey, Lance. The direction the springs are in doesn't matter. They can be to the front or to the rear of the axle and will perform the same either way. What kind of trailer are you working on?
There is no exact way to determine the leaf spring length. The best way to determine the length for a replacement is by measuring the existing leaf springs. The hanger distance and shackle length can help you get a good idea, but you're looking…
Despite what the manufacturers of these equalizers say, the axle/wheel spacing isn't the right way to figure out the best fit for upgraded equalizers, including the MORryde CRE3000. The wheel spacing is more of a guideline, so to determine the…
Trailer Suspension Parts from MORryde for Smoother Towing
Enjoy a quieter, smoother tow with MORryde trailer suspension parts. Upgrades like heavy-duty shackles and rubber equalizers can cut creaks, reduce porpoising, and add more controlled travel. For a proper fit, measure wheelbase between hanger bolts and choose by that spec—not by matching your old equalizer—and check shackle strap length center to center.
Work safely and methodically. Securely raise the trailer with multiple jacks, remove wheels, and go bolt to bolt. Torque to spec, then grease and take a short test drive before re-torquing. Measure hardware as you go—on some campers, spring-end bolts were too short, so confirm lengths before final assembly. Having two floor jacks helps align parts and speeds the second side.
It can. Some installs resulted in extra tire-to-fender clearance, with reports of about 1.5 to 2.0 inches, and one noted a 3/4 inch raise. Check your equalizer geometry and shackle strap length to anticipate changes. After installation, verify fender and body clearance before hitting rough roads and adjust plans if your setup sits higher than before.
Measure your wheelbase and hanger spacing and match them to MORryde's fit qualifiers. Don't pick an equalizer by visually comparing it to what's on your trailer. Verify axle count and spacing before ordering. If your measurement falls between common sizes, recheck from the center of the front hanger bolt to the rear hanger bolt to confirm.
Yes, MORryde wet bolt and shackle upgrades can noticeably reduce creaks and clatter. Bronze bushings and greaseable bolts help minimize wear and noise compared to OEM plastic bushings. Users reported much quieter towing on driveways and roads. After installation, grease the fittings and recheck torque after a short test drive.
