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…
Get your trailer tracking straight and riding steady with rv ride control suspension parts. Options include hanger brackets that move the spring attachment point down 1-1/4" or 2-1/4" to help level tandem axles, while triple-axle kits use additional brackets for a taller lift. Plan for careful setup—support the frame and axles, pre-drill for self-drilling screws, and consider longer wet bolts when added bracket width calls for them.
Installation can be demanding and suits mechanically oriented owners with the right tools. Use tall supports and jacks for axles and frame, remove both wheels on a side for alignment, and pre-drill for self-drilling screws with sharp bits. You may need to unbolt at the center equalizer and chase threads. Verify bracket count covers all hangers; center parts differ.
Hanger-mounted systems commonly lower the spring connection 1-1/4" or 2-1/4". Confirm which setting your kit supports. Tandem and triple setups may use different center-hanger parts for the taller lift. Measure bed-rail and level clearances to choose the height you need.
Lift/align kits can require longer wet bolts. Match to your shackle strap center-to-center length and expect longer bolts at some positions. Greaseable options may need a specific upgrade kit and extra bolts. Check bolt lengths and quantities before teardown to avoid delays.
Some kits are incompatible with certain aftermarket equalizers. If yours won't fit, swap to standard equalizers or use an axle over-under conversion when springs are under the axle. That conversion lifts around the sum of the axle and leaf spring pack thickness. Verify your equalizer style and hanger fit before ordering.
